Patent number: 11185289Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring a patient on an air support system. The system comprises a capacitive sensor system having a capacitive sensor positioned at the underside of an air filled mattress, and a respiration signal processing module that receives the output of the capacitive sensor system and is configured to monitor patient respiration. Respiration is monitored by: periodically sampling the capacitive sensor system output to obtain measurements of incremental body displacement; analyzing a plurality of the samples to determine one or more values for parameters of patient respiratory rate; and determining when one or more of the parameter values indicate abnormal respiration. A corresponding method and computer program are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2017Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Hill-Rom Services, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Francois Tarsaud, Gilles Camus, Aye Aung, Chau Chong Ye, Thierry Flocard, Florian Garnero, Rachid Oulad Slimane, Pierre Deguignet, Nicolas Odic, Yue Wang, Suresha Venkataraya, Lokesh Bhatt, Bernard Arnaud
