Patent number: 11771367Abstract: Described are systems and methods for generating sleep scores based at least in part on the visual appearance of hypnograms. The disclosed implementations generate an embedding vector representative of the visual appearance of a hypnogram and utilize that embedding to determine a sleep score of the sleep session represented by the hypnogram. For example, a deep neural network, such as a convolutional neural network (“CNN”), may be trained with input data that includes hypnograms that have been labeled according to their sleep quality, or sleep score. The trained network may then be provided with an unlabeled hypnogram, generate an embedding representative of that hypnogram, and determine a sleep score corresponding to that hypnogram.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pekka Pietari Pulkkinen, Haithem Albadawi, Yan Zhang

Patent number: 11676718Abstract: A web-based interface enables medical personnel to remotely monitor medical devices. A monitoring system records operational data and alarms from the medical devices in a file. However, since network connections between the medical devices and the monitoring system are intermittent, the file does not contain a contiguous stream of data for each medical device. The file pauses recording during gaps in network connectivity. The system displays current data, as well as a list of alarms. If medical personnel wish to view more detail about an earlier time or one of the alarms, the system calculates where in the file the medical device data was recorded. This calculation accounts for the discontiguous nature of the data. The system uses times the network connection is made and broken to calculate an index into the file that corresponds to the time of the user-selected alarm.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: ABIOMED, INC.Inventors: Alessandro Simone Agnello, Paul Roland Lemay

Patent number: 11640852Abstract: In a risk level assessment method for a plurality of clinical conditions as follows, a set of laboratory test results (32) are stored with time stamps for a patient, including at least one hematology test result and at least one arterial blood gas (ABG) test result. For each clinical condition, a risk level is determined for the clinical condition based on a clinical condition-specific sub-set of the stored set of laboratory test results. This determination is made conditional on the stored clinical condition-specific sub-set of laboratory test results being sufficient to determine the risk level. A time stamp is assigned to each determined risk level based on the time stamps for the laboratory test results of the clinical condition-specific sub-set of laboratory test results. A display device (44, 46) displays the determined risk level and the assigned time stamp for each clinical condition whose determined risk level satisfies a display criterion.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Kostyantyn Volyanskyy, Minnan Xu, Larry James Eshelman
