  • Patent number: 12293287
    Abstract: A set of training electrocardiograms (ECGs) for each of a plurality of subjects is processed using a machine learning model to generate an output for each training ECG of each of the plurality of subjects. Training ECGs for each subject are labeled with an identity of the subject. A machine learning model is trained by comparing the output generated for each training ECG to a corresponding label of the training ECG to generate an identity model to identify ECGs of a first subject of the plurality of subjects. A first ECG is received from an ECG sensor and input to the identity model, which generates an output indicating whether the first ECG corresponds to the first subject. In response to the output indicating that the first ECG does not correspond to the first subject, a condition that the first subject has or may develop is determined based on the output.

  • Patent number: 12263003
    Abstract: Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for sensing, generating, and time aligning one or more of the 12 leads of a standard ECG. A set of electrodes may be used to perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) of a user to generate a set of limb leads including a first lead I. A Wilson's Central Terminal (WCT) value may be determined using a subset of the set of limb leads. In response to an electrode of the set of electrodes contacting the user's chest, a precordial lead may be generated based on electric potentials sensed by the electrode while contacting the user's chest and the WCT value. As the precordial lead is generated, a corresponding second lead I is simultaneously generated. The corresponding second lead I is used to time align the set of limb leads and the precordial lead.

  • Publication number: 20240285182
    Abstract: Described herein are methods, systems, and software for monitoring blood pressure. In some embodiments, a using a mobile device is used. The blood pressure monitoring system utilizes heart rate measurements at two separate locations on the body to calculate a differential pulse arrival time which is used to estimate blood pressure. The heart rate measurements can be taken simultaneously, or they can be taken sequentially while simultaneously taking ECG measurement. If taken sequentially, the heart rate measurements are aligned with the ECG to determine the differential. Accurate, inexpensive, and discreet blood pressure monitoring is thus provided.

  • Publication number: 20240156357
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for cardiac monitoring. A method may include comparing, using a machine learning (ML) algorithm, an activity level of a user with one or more heart rate parameters of the user to determine whether a discordance is present between the activity level and the one or more heart rate parameters. In response to detecting that a discordance is present, performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) of the user to obtain ECG data of the user. An ML algorithm may be trained to detect an arrythmia using a historical set of training data including the activity level, the one or more heart rate parameters and previously recorded heart rate parameters, and a historical set of ECG data including the ECG data and previously recorded ECG data.
