  • Patent number: 10555702
    Abstract: Described here are methods, devices and systems for characterizing a physiological signal such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Generally, the method includes receiving the ECG signal generated by an ECG device coupled to a patient. ECG signal quality for a plurality of consecutive beats may be determined based on a dispersion coefficient and a deviation from an average of each of a plurality of ECG parameters. Indexing information may be generated for set of sequences from the plurality of consecutive cardiac beats. Each of the sequences may comprise a first predetermined number of consecutive cardiac beats. The set of the sequences may be ordered based upon the ECG signal quality.

  • Patent number: 10296196
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying a non-biasing VAS that automatically adjusts to different screen aspect ratios/resolutions of a computing device, while preserving the reliability of the VAS. The system and method can calculate a number of pixels available on a screen display to display a VAS. Further, the system and method can generate a VAS comprising equally sized intervals of distance to fit the available screen display. In addition, the system and method can include an anchor line at each end of the VAS that indicates an upper and lower value of a range of values measured by the VAS. The system and method can also include a unit cursor on the VAS that allows a subject to indicate, by pixel, interval or target area, a position on the VAS.

  • Patent number: 9129215
    Abstract: A system for developing and implementing empirically derived algorithms to generate decision rules to predict invalidity of subject reported data and fraud with research protocols in surveys allows for the identification of complex patterns of variables that detect or predict subject invalidity of subject reported data and fraud with the research protocol in the survey. The present invention may also be used to monitor invalidity of subject reported data within a research protocol to determine preferred actions to be performed. Optionally, the invention may provide a spectrum of invalidity, from minor invalidity needing only corrective feedback, to significant invalidity requiring subject removal from the survey. The algorithms and decision rules can also be domain-specific, such as detecting invalidity or fraud among subjects in a workplace satisfaction survey, or demographically specific, such as taking into account gender or age.

  • Patent number: 8805483
    Abstract: In a method and system for processing an electrocardiogram (ECG), digital ECG data are received. The digital ECG data evinces a plurality of a patient's heartbeats detected during an ECG. Digital annotation data are generated representing marking to be shown on an ECG tracing of the plurality of heartbeats. An annotated ECG tracing image is produced using the digital ECG data and the digital annotation data.
