Publication number: 20200038587Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and/or controlling a state of a subject during volume resuscitation are disclosed. One method includes acquiring cardiovascular data from a subject, obtaining previous volume administration information, and analyzing the cardiovascular data to determine a past time trajectory for at least one cardiovascular parameter. The method also includes determining a future state of the subject with and without additional volume administration using a statistical model, and determining, based on the future state of the subject, a likelihood that the at least one cardiovascular parameter will exceed or fall below a threshold at one or more pre-determined time points. The method further includes generating a report including a recommendation for administering an additional volume to the subject based on the determined likelihood and controlling administration of an additional fluid volume to the subject based on the report.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Jin-Oh Hahn, Andrew T.

Publication number: 20170235917Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and/or controlling a cardiovascular system of a subject are disclosed. In some aspects, the method includes acquiring cardiovascular data from a subject, analyzing the cardiovascular data to determine a time trajectory for at least one cardiovascular parameter, and determining, using the time trajectory, a likelihood that the at least one cardiovascular parameter exceeds a threshold at one or more pre-determined time points. The method also includes determining a future cardiovascular state of the subject using the determined likelihood, and generating a report indicative of the future cardiovascular state of the subject. The method may also include estimating a dose response associated with at least one administered pharmaceutical agent for at least one cardiovascular parameter, and controlling the cardiovascular state of the subject at one or more pre-determined time points using the estimated dose response.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2015Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Ramin Bighamian, Jin-Oh Hahn, Andrew T.

Patent number: 8313439Abstract: An apparatus and methods for adaptive and autonomous calibration of pulse transit time measurements to obtain arterial blood pressure using arterial pressure variation. The apparatus and methods give pulse transit time (PTT) devices an ability to self-calibrate. The methods apply a distributed model with lumped parameters, and may be implemented, for example, using pulse transit time measurements derived from a wearable photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor architecture with an intervening pressurizing mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Devin B. McCombie, Haruhiko H. Asada, Andrew T. Reisner

Patent number: 7674231Abstract: An apparatus and methods for performing a circulatory measurement on an extremity, such as a hand, of a subject. The circulatory measurement results in the derivation of an output circulatory metric that may encompass blood pressure or various other circulatory metrics. An indicator of an input circulatory metric at a locus on the extremity is measured, such as a pulse transit time, and calibrated to account for the hydrostatic component of blood pressure arising due to vertical displacement of the extremity with respect to the heart.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2007Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Devin B. McCombie, Andrew T. Reisner, Haruhiko H. Asada, Phillip Shaltis

Publication number: 20100016736Abstract: Methods and a computer program product for using a circulatory measurement on an extremity of a particular subject to derive an aortic blood pressure for that subject. A model is constructed that maps a peripheral cardiovascular waveform to a central cardiovascular waveform on the basis of a plurality of model parameters. A time record is obtained using a non-invasive blood pressure sensor disposed at a solitary position periphery of the cardiovascular system of a subject. The time record is then transformed to obtain a plurality of test central blood pressure waves, with a single test central blood pressure wave is based on each of a plurality of sets of values of the model parameters. An optimum set of values of the model parameters is then selected, based on a specified criterion applied to the plurality of test central blood pressure waves, so that the aortic circulatory waveform of the subject can be obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2009Publication date: January 21, 2010Applicant: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Jin-Oh Hahn, Andrew T.

Patent number: 7641614Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring arterial blood pressure at an extremity of a subject. Arterial blood pressure is derived from a circulatory measurement performed on an extremity of a subject and the circulatory measurement is normalized to account for the instantaneous vertical displacement of the extremity. The vertical displacement of the extremity relative to the heart of the subject is obtained using the angular orientation of the subject's extremity. An improved photoplethysmograph can discriminate light traversing the extremity from ambient light on the basis of differential response. The apparatus may have a conducting polymer actuator for applying pressure to the extremity of the subject. A pulsatile waveform from the photoplethysmographic signal may be obtained at a plurality of externally applied pressures to calibrate the photoplethysmograph.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Haruhiko H.
