  • Patent number: 12551169
    Abstract: In some examples, a device includes a memory configured to store a first relationship between a blood pressure and another physiological parameter of a patient, the first relationship being indicative of cerebral autoregulation of the patient. The device also includes processing circuitry configured to receive first and second signals indicative of the blood pressure and the physiological parameter, respectively, of a patient. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine an expected value and an actual value of the physiological parameter at a particular blood pressure value of the first physiological signal. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on a difference between the actual value and the expected value, and store, in the memory, a second relationship between the blood pressure and the physiological parameter, the second relationship being indicative of a change in the cerebral autoregulation of the patient from the first relationship.

  • Patent number: 12364441
    Abstract: In some examples, a method includes receiving a signal indicative of a blood pressure of a patient and identifying at least one first portion of the signal comprising a first characteristic of the signal exceeding a first threshold. The method also includes identifying at least one first portion of the signal comprising a second characteristic of the signal exceeding a second threshold, the first characteristic being different than the second characteristic. The method further includes determining a filtered signal indicative of the blood pressure of the patient by excluding the at least one first portion and the at least one second portion from the signal. The method includes determining a set of mean arterial pressure values based on the filtered signal and determining an autoregulation status of the patient based on the set of mean arterial pressure values.

  • Patent number: 12268478
    Abstract: A system for monitoring autoregulation may include processing circuitry configured to receive a blood pressure signal indicative of an acquisition blood pressure of a patient at an acquisition site and an oxygen saturation signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of the patient. The processing circuitry may determine a cerebral autoregulation status value based on the blood pressure signal and the oxygen saturation signal. The processing circuitry may determine a non-cerebral autoregulation status value based on the cerebral autoregulation status value and an adjustment value. The processing circuitry provide to an output device a signal indicative of the non-cerebral autoregulation status value and a signal indicative of the cerebral autoregulation status value to enable a clinician to monitor the autoregulation status of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20250098986
    Abstract: A method and system for performing a depth data processing procedure for obtaining physiological information from depth data. The depth processing procedure comprises obtaining depth data representing depth across a field of view, and deriving at least one signal from said depth data. The method further comprises: obtaining further information from at least one of: the depth data and the at least one signal derived from the depth data; using at least said further information to determine an absence of respiratory motion in the field of view; and setting a flag for the depth data processing procedure or a further procedure based on said determination of the absence of respiratory motion in the field of view.

  • Publication number: 20250031978
    Abstract: In some examples, a system is configured to determine a non-cerebral autoregulation status value of a patient using machine learning. In some examples, processing circuitry of the system is configured to determine, using a neural network algorithm that has been trained via machine learning training, an individualized adjustment value that is individualized for the patient, including inputting physiological data associated with the patient. The processing circuitry may determine a non-cerebral autoregulation status of the patient based on a cerebral autoregulation value of the patient based on the non-cerebral autoregulation status value of the patient and the adjustment value.

  • Publication number: 20250009252
    Abstract: Methods for improving the accurate determination of respiratory rate, the respiratory rate being measured or monitored from depth measurements from a non-contact monitoring system. The methods include analyzing a waveform obtained from a respiratory parameter and discarding data that does not meet criteria. The respiratory rate may be obtained from an original waveform, a processed waveform, or from a power spectrum derived from the original or processed waveform.

  • Patent number: 12048537
    Abstract: A system for monitoring autoregulation may include processing circuitry configured to receive a blood pressure signal indicative of an acquisition blood pressure of a patient at an acquisition site and an oxygen saturation signal indicative of an oxygen saturation of the patient. The processing circuitry may determine an altered blood pressure value indicative of a reference blood pressure of the patient at a reference site based on the blood pressure signal. The altered blood pressure value may enable a more accurate subsequent determination of a value indicative of the autoregulation status of the patient compared to an unaltered blood pressure value. In some examples, the processing circuitry may provide a signal indicative of the autoregulation status of the patient to an output device to enable a clinician to monitor the autoregulation status of the patient.
