Patent number: 9474445Abstract: Systems and techniques for remote medical monitoring. In one implementation, a method includes monitoring a first medical condition of an individual, the monitoring being initiated remotely by a monitoring service, receiving a query relating to a second medical condition of the individual, transmitting a response to the query to the monitoring service, receiving a prompt from the monitoring service, and transmitting a response to the prompt to the monitoring service. The query is received from the monitoring service. The prompt is designed to provoke a particular action.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Braemar Manufacturing, LLCInventor: Doug C. Eveland

Patent number: 9355215Abstract: A data acquisition system includes a receptacle and a data acquisition device. The receptacle has a housing, sensor inputs to receive data signals from sensors coupled to an object, and a rib to block insertion of a standard Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug and facilitate insertion of a modified USB plug having a slot that mates with the rib. The data acquisition device includes circuitry to receive, store and process data, a USB plug having pins operatively coupled to the circuitry, a first subset of pins configured to receive data signals from the receptacle and a second subset of pins configured to support standard USB communication with USB-compliant devices, and a slot formed in the USB plug such that the slot facilitates interconnection of the USB plug both with standard USB-compliant devices and with the receptacle, the slot mating with the rib to facilitate interconnection.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: BRAEMAR MANUFACTURING, LLCInventor: Erich Vlach

Patent number: 9084548Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for determining the onset and offset of a ventricular fibrillation event and for distinguishing ventricular fibrillation from noise. In some examples, an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is obtained; a transform is applied to the ECG signal to obtain an analytical pair, the analytical pair including the ECG signal and the transformed ECG signal; a speed-amplitude is determined from the analytical pair; and an onset of a ventricular fibrillation event is identified based at least one of a value of a cost function of the speed-amplitude over a window and a quantity of occurrences the speed-amplitude crosses a threshold over the window.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2011Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Braemar Manufacturing, LLCInventor: Radouane Bouguerra

Patent number: 9021161Abstract: A data collection unit obtains physiological data from a subject interface on a subject. The subject interface can be connected to the data collection unit. When the subject interface is connected to the data collection unit, subject interface contacts on the subject interface make contact with data collection unit contacts on the data collection unit. Some of the data collection unit contacts are for communicating physiological data from the subject interface to the data collection unit. Some of the contacts are for powering the data collection unit upon the subject interface being connected to the data collection unit and for powering down the data collection unit upon the subject interface being disconnected from the data collection unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Braemar Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Erich Vlach, Charles Gropper

Patent number: 8945019Abstract: A system and method for presenting information relating to heart data can involve operations including identifying arrhythmia events in physiological data obtained for a living being, receiving human assessments of at least a portion of the arrhythmia events, determining a measure of correlation between the human assessments and the identified events, and selectively presenting information regarding the identified events based on the measure of correlation. The operations can also include identifying atrial fibrillation events in physiological data obtained for a living being, obtaining heart rate data for the living being, and presenting information regarding the heart rate data and duration of the atrial fibrillation events together with a common time scale to pictographically represent heart rate trend with atrial fibrillation burden during a defined time period.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Braemar Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Eric N. Prystowsky, Lev Korzinov, Eric Baumann, Scott Denis, Manuel E. Jaime, Justin James

Patent number: 8909832Abstract: A physiological data collection device obtains physiological data from a subject interface on a subject. The physiological data collection device includes a data connector such as a USB connector for connecting directly to a computer. When the physiological data collection device is connected to the computer, the physiological data is uploaded to a remote data processing center for computer-based analysis and review by a medical professional. A report can be provided to the subject based on the analysis and review. When the subject interface is physically connected to the physiological data collection device, the data connector is prevented from being connected to an external device such as the computer.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Braemar Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Erich Vlach, Anna McNamara, Charles Gropper

Publication number: 20140094709Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing biological signals. In one implementation, a method includes receiving a cardiac biological signal that includes information describing events, determining a merit of each event based on one or more of a severity of a cardiac condition associated with the event and a quality of the event, and handling a subset of the events that meet a merit criterion. The subset can be handled for medical purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: BRAEMAR MANUFACTURING, LLCInventors: Lev Korzinov, Eric Baumann

Patent number: 8515529Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products for detecting the existence of a sleep disorder in an individual using heart activity. In one aspect, machine-implemented methods include the actions of analyzing a machine-readable heart rate series of a monitored individual in the time domain using one or more digital data processing devices, detecting a cyclic variation in heart rate in the heart rate series as a result of the analysis in the time domain, and outputting, over an output, a report characterizing a sleep disorder event based on the detection of the cyclic variation in heart rate in the heart rate series. The cyclic variation in heart rate is indicative of a sleep disorder.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2009Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Braemar Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Yachuan Pu, Charles Gropper, Dongping Lin
