Publication number: 20230011717Abstract: A system for monitoring medical conditions including pressure ulcers, pressure-induced ischemia and related medical conditions comprises at least one sensor adapted to detect one or more patient characteristic including at least position, orientation, temperature, acceleration, moisture, resistance, stress, heart rate, respiration rate, and blood oxygenation, a host for processing the data received from the sensors together with historical patient data to develop an assessment of patient condition and suggested course of treatment, including either suspending or adjusting turn schedule based on various types of patient movement. Compliance with Head-of-Bed protocols can also be performed based on actual patient position instead of being inferred from bed elevation angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Applicant: Leaf Healthcare, Inc.Inventors: Barrett J. Larson, Mark Weckwerth, Charles Matthew Peterson Hammond, Daniel Z. Shen

Publication number: 20200253475Abstract: A user-wearable sensor device may be configured to be directly or indirectly secured to a user or to an article worn by the user. The user-wearable sensor device may include at least one sensor configured to collect sensor data associated with an orientation of the user, a display unit including at least one LED or other visual indicator, a battery configured to provide power to at least the display unit, and a control system. The control system may be configured to determine the orientation of the user based on sensor data collected by the at least one sensor, maintain the display unit in a deactivated state in the absence of a defined activation input, detect a defined activation input, activate the deactivated display unit in response to detecting the defined activation input, and control the activated display unit based on the determined orientation of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: Leaf Healthcare, Inc.Inventors: Barrett Larson, Mark Weckwerth, Charles Matthew Peterson Hammond
