Patent number: 11864926Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying someone intending to leave a bed or chair generally before or shortly after the bed or chair is exited. These can allow intervention where necessary to prevent some falls before they occur. The systems and methods typically collect and aggregate real-time patient data to detect “attempted bed exits”—attempts made by a patient which indicate that the patient may be attempting to leave the bed or chair and, determine their risk for falling. Where done in real time, a patient making an “attempt” to exit can be stopped before or shortly after an actual exit is made, permitting staff to assist with, or prevent, the exit as necessary.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Foresite Healthcare, LLCInventors: George Chronis, Erik Stone

Patent number: 11819344Abstract: Systems and methods for the automatic assessment of a person's fall risk. The systems and methods utilize an objective standard and evaluation of a person's gait and stance, among other factors, to determine such person's current instantaneous likelihood of a fall, as well as such person's future fall risk. The systems and methods utilize machine observations and calculations to reduce or eliminate bias and the use of subjective assessment criteria.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Foresite Healthcare, LLCInventors: Erik E. Stone, Donald A. Viragh, George Chronis

Patent number: 11276181Abstract: Systems and methods designed to detect a human being falling as opposed to an inanimate object. Generally, the systems and methods will utilize a depth camera, which will often image in the NIR spectrum to detect a falling object. The portion detected as a falling object will often be detected as separating from a point cloud indicative of one object in contact with another. Should such a separation be detected, the systems and methods will utilize a thermal sensor, often a camera imaging in the LWIR spectrum, to determine if the falling portion has a heat signature indicative of a human being.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: FORESITE HEALTHCARE, LLCInventors: George Chronis, Erik Stone, Mark Schaumburg
