Patent number: 9996677Abstract: A computer-implemented method for assessing a level of dyspnea in a patient is provided. The method includes measuring physical activity of the patient over a period of time with an activity monitor to gather physical activity data; measuring respiration rate of the patient over the period of time with a respiration rate sensor to gather respiration rate data; administering a questionnaire to gather clinical information of the patient; and executing, on one or more computer processors, one or more computer program modules to determine a dyspnea value for the patient based on the respiration rate data, the physical activity data, and the clinical information of the patient. The dyspnea value is representative of the level of dyspnea in the patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2011Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Amy Oi Mee Cheung, Maryam Atakhorrami

Patent number: 9465893Abstract: A system (200) for providing an exercise training plan for a patient is provided. The system includes a sensor (202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212), and a processor (214) operatively connected to the at least one sensor. The sensor measures physiological parameter of the patient. The processor is configured to: a) receive health information data representative of patient information and patient symptoms; b) receive physiological data from the at least one sensor; c) devise the exercise training plan for the patient based on the health information data and the physiological data; d) monitor the physiological data, during the exercise training of the patient to determine if the physiological data is within a predetermined range; and e) modify the exercise training plan for the patient if the physiological data is outside the predetermined range.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Amy Oi Mee Cheung, Maryam Atakhorrami

Publication number: 20150324541Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for a health monitoring system comprising an activity monitor. The health monitoring system further comprises a processor and a memory for storing machine readable instructions. The instructions cause the processor to derive activity counts from the activity data acquired by the activity monitor. The instructions further cause the processor to store the activity counts in the memory, and are associated with a time. The instructions further cause the processor to calculate at least two statistical parameters from the activity counts, wherein the at least two statistical parameters are descriptive of the activity counts as a function of time. The instructions further causes the processor to calculate a risk score for each of the at least two statistical parameters. The instructions further cause the processor to calculate a total risk score using the risk score for each of the at least two statistical parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2012Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Amy Oi Mee CHEUNG, Maryam ATAKHORRAMI, Choo Chiap CHIAU, David Paul WALKER, Tamara Mathea Elisabeth NIJSEN, Rebecca TSAO

Patent number: 8945020Abstract: When measuring core body temperature in a patient, a curved sensor (10) is provide that has a predefined radius of curvature to fit comfortably and closely to a patient's forehead. The sensor (10) has at least one releasable securing strip (e.g., Velcro™) that couples the sensor (10) to a headband (14), as well as an adhesive strip (16) that is positioned along one edge of an interior surface of the sensor (10) and couples the sensor (10) to the patient's skin. The adhesive strip acts as a hinge that facilitates inspection of the skin beneath the sensor without complete removal of the sensor, and the headband and curvature of the sensor provide a snug fit of the interior surface of the sensor against the patient's skin. Additionally, the sensor may be a zero heat flux sensor (34) with a heater (32) placed on one side thereof and a thermister (36) placed on an opposite side thereof, between the heat flux sensor (34) and a patient's skin.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2009Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Amy Oi Mee Cheung, Jasper Klewer
