  • Patent number: 10652808
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for managing communication modes on a network used for physiological status monitoring. The methods may include receiving indications that a network had been selected and that a communication or operation mode for the network had been selected. The communication or operation mode may be based at least in part on a number of remote physiological monitoring devices that are to be allowed to communicate on the radio access network. A beacon may be transmitted to indicate one or more transmission parameters associated with the selected communication or operation mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170263099
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for associating remote physiological monitoring with an at-risk falling condition of a patient. The methods may include receiving movement data of a patient from one or more sensors. The methods may also include determining a patient posture and a patient activity level based, at least in part, on the received movement data, and determining that an at-risk condition is satisfied by the patient posture or the patient activity level. Once it is determined that the at-risk condition is satisfied, the methods may also include issuing an alert based, at least in part, on the determination that the at-risk condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20170049406
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for simultaneously displaying location data and physiological data for a plurality of users. The methods may include receiving physiological data corresponding to one or more physiological parameters of each of the plurality of users. The methods may also include receiving location data corresponding to a location of each of the plurality of users. The method may also include displaying the received physiological data and location data simultaneously on a same visual representation for each of the plurality of users.

  • Publication number: 20170053078
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for determining a readiness of a user. The methods may include receiving physiological data corresponding to one or more physiological parameters of the user. The methods may also include receiving user input data corresponding to one or more subjective user state parameters of the user. The methods may also include assigning a respective component score to each of the received physiological data and user input data. The methods may further include assigning a respective weight to at least one of the one or more physiological parameters or one or more subjective user state parameters of the user. The methods may also include deriving a readiness score for the user based at least in part on the component scores of the corresponding weights. The derived readiness score may be communicated to the user via a display device.

  • Publication number: 20150164408
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for monitoring patient position in order to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. The methods may include initiating a first turn timer to calculate a first amount of time spent by a patient in a first position. The methods may further include initiating a first perfusion timer to calculate a second amount of time spent by the patient out of the first position. The methods may then include determining whether to reset the first turn timer based, at least in part, on whether the second amount of time meets or exceeds a predetermined perfusion time threshold. Once the patient has met or exceeded the predetermined perfusion time threshold, an alert may be issued.

  • Publication number: 20150094545
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for associating remote physiological monitoring with an at-rest condition of a patient. The methods may include receiving activity data and physiological data of a patient. The methods may also include determining that an at-rest condition is satisfied by at least one of the received activity data and physiological data. Once it is determined that the at-rest condition is satisfied, the methods may also include associating an at-rest indicator with one or more physiological measurements of the patient.
