  • Publication number: 20260137314
    Abstract: A wearable device configured to monitor physiological parameters of a wearer can include: a physiological parameter measurement sensor configured to monitor a plurality of physiological parameters; a hardware processor; a display in communication with the processor; and a band configured to secure the physiological parameter measurement sensor on a wrist of the wearer. In some implementations, the hardware processor is configured to: obtain a first plurality of signals from the physiological parameter measurement sensor when the band is secured on the wrist at a first tightness; determine a signal quality responsive to the first plurality of signals; and output an indication on the display to adjust tightness of the band with respect to the wrist from the first tightness to a second tightness based on the determined signal quality.

  • Publication number: 20260102085
    Abstract: A pulse oximetry system includes a wrist portion configured for placement on a wrist of a subject, the wrist portion having a first component and a second component configured to removably secure to one another. The wrist portion can include emitter(s) and detector(s) operably positioned by the wrist portion. In some implementations, the pulse oximetry system further includes a ring member configured to secure around the subject's finger and operably position emitter(s) and detector(s) and a cable connected to the wrist portion in electrical communication with the emitter(s) and the detector(s) of the ring member and configured to transmit the signal(s) from the detector(s) to the wrist portion. The system includes a battery and hardware processor(s) configured to receive and process signal(s) outputted by the detector(s) to determine physiological parameter(s) of the subject.

  • Patent number: 12533068
    Abstract: An assembly for enabling a caregiver to secure a physiological monitoring device to an arm of a user can include the physiological monitoring device a cradle configured to removably secure to the physiological monitoring device and to the user's arm. The physiological monitoring device can include a first connector port configured to electrically connect to a first cable and a first locking tab movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The cradle can include a base, first and second sidewalls, a back wall connected to the base and the first and second sidewalls. The cradle can further include a first opening in the back wall configured to receive the first connector port and a second opening in the first sidewall configured to receive the first locking tab when the physiological monitoring device is secured to the cradle and the first locking tab is in the extended position.

  • Publication number: 20250328162
    Abstract: A multi-parameter patient monitoring device rack can dock a plurality of patient monitor modules and can communicate with a separate display unit. A signal processing unit can be incorporated into the device rack. A graphics processing unit can be attached to the display unit. The device rack and the graphic display unit can have improved heat dissipation and drip-proof features. The multi-parameter patient monitoring device rack can provide interchangeability and versatility to a multi-parameter patient monitoring system by allowing use of different display units and monitoring of different combinations of parameters. A dual-use patient monitor module can have its own display unit configured for displaying one or more parameters when used as a stand-alone device, and can be docked into the device rack when a handle on the module is folded down.

  • Publication number: 20250323417
    Abstract: An electronic device can be configured to be secured to a subject and measure one or more physiological parameters of the subject. The electronic device may include a housing, including a bottom portion, a top portion, a first side connected to the top portion along a first edge, a second side connected to the top portion along a second edge, a third side connected to the top portion along a third edge, a fourth side connected to the top portion along a fourth edge. The electronic device may include one or more physiological sensors for measuring the one or more physiological parameters. The electronic device may include an antenna configured to allow the electronic device to wirelessly communicate with one or more separate devices. The antenna may extend along an interior surface at least partially along each of the first edge, second edge, third edge, and fourth edge.

  • Publication number: 20250318761
    Abstract: A wearable system can include an electronic device configured to measure one or more physiological parameters of a patient and a wearable device configured to operably position the electronic device. The electronic device can have at least one light emitter and at least one light detector and be configured to measure at least a pulse oximetry measurement. The wearable device can have a main body with a cavity configured to position the electronic device, a securement portion connected to the main body and configured to secure the main body to the patient, and storage component configured to store patient identification data associated with the patient. When the electronic device and the wearable device are secured to one another, the patient identification data can be transferred from the wearable device to the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20250232019
    Abstract: A physiological patient monitoring system with a healthcare professional-facing interface is disclosed. The healthcare professional interface may only display by default the most critical non-confidential patient information. To access the full range of features in the system, clinicians can unlock the device. Once unlocked, clinicians can access all of a patient's treatment history, and all the data may be consolidated and presented intuitively.
