  • Publication number: 20240115216
    Abstract: Use of non-contact monitoring systems to monitor a subject (e.g., baby, infant, child) in a sleeping or resting environment. The systems identify the position of the subject and alert a caregiver if the subject is in a potentially hazardous position, such as lying prone (on their front) or if the subject has remained in the same position for a period of time longer than a threshold time. The non-contact monitoring systems can be configured to detect a physical attribute (e.g., respiration rate, tidal volume, pulse, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20240119819
    Abstract: Use of non-contact monitoring systems to monitor a subject (e.g., baby, infant, child) in a sleeping or resting environment. The systems utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to identify potential hazards to the subject and alert a caregiver. The systems can be trained to recognize the location of an object as a potential hazard, recognize the location of an object as not a potential hazard, and/or to recognize the type of object as not a potential hazard. The caregiver may acknowledge the potential hazard is indeed a hazard or may clear the potential hazard and the alert, which the system will remember for subsequent like occurrences.

  • Patent number: 11918385
    Abstract: In some examples, a device includes a memory configured to store a first relationship between a blood pressure and another physiological parameter of a patient, the first relationship being indicative of cerebral autoregulation of the patient. The device also includes processing circuitry configured to receive first and second signals indicative of the blood pressure and the physiological parameter, respectively, of a patient. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine an expected value and an actual value of the physiological parameter at a particular blood pressure value of the first physiological signal. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on a difference between the actual value and the expected value, and store, in the memory, a second relationship between the blood pressure and the physiological parameter, the second relationship being indicative of a change in the cerebral autoregulation of the patient from the first relationship.

  • Publication number: 20230397843
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides image-based patient monitoring by capturing a first image, by an image capture sensor, of a predefined region of a patient at a first time, capturing a second image, by the image capture sensor, of the predefined region of the patient at a second time, determining whether the first captured image and the second captured image satisfy a non-respiratory motion condition, the non-respiratory motion condition based in part on a predefined relationship between captured images and motion of a patient attributable to patient actions other than respiration of the patient, classifying a motion of the patient as non-respiratory motion when the non-respiratory motion condition is satisfied, and transmitting an instruction to display an indication of veracity of a respiratory measurement of the patient measured between the first time and the second time based on the classified motion.

  • Publication number: 20230389864
    Abstract: In some examples, a patient monitoring system includes processing circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of a nociception event of a patient during a medical procedure. The processing circuitry may, for example, monitor a nociception parameter of the patient during the medical procedure, determine a characteristic nociception parameter at a point in time based at least in part on values of the nociception parameter over a period of time, and determine, based at least in part on comparing the characteristic nociception parameter at the point in time with a nociception threshold, a nociception event has occurred at the point in time. In some examples, the processing circuitry is configured to provide an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic administered to the patient based on the determination that the nociception event has occurred at the point in time.

  • Publication number: 20230284914
    Abstract: A method for monitoring autoregulation includes, using a processor, using a processor to execute one or more routines on a memory. The one or more routines include receiving one or more physiological signals from a patient, determining a correlation-based measure indicative of the patient's autoregulation based on the one or more physiological signals, and generating an autoregulation profile of the patient based on autoregulation index values of the correlation-based measure. The autoregulation profile includes the autoregulation index values sorted into bins corresponding to different blood pressure ranges. The one or more routines also include designating a blood pressure range encompassing one or more of the bins as a blood pressure safe zone indicative of intact regulation and providing a signal to a display to display the autoregulation profile and a first indicator of the blood pressure safe zone.

  • Publication number: 20230263478
    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes processing circuitry configured to determine that an oxygen saturation level of a patient is at or below a desaturation threshold, and, in response, determine whether the oxygen saturation level is at or below the desaturation threshold at the end of a calculation period. The processing circuitry may, in response to determining that the oxygen saturation level of the patient is at or below the desaturation threshold at the end of the calculation period, predict, using an oxygen saturation prediction model, whether the oxygen saturation level of the patient will increase above the desaturation threshold by the end of a predefined time period. In response to predicting that the oxygen saturation level of the patient will increase above the desaturation threshold by the end of the predefined time period, the processing circuitry refrains from outputting an indication of the patient experiencing an oxygen desaturation event.

  • Publication number: 20230111386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medical monitoring, and in particular non-contact monitoring of one or more physiological parameters in a region of a patient during surgery. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for generating a pulsation field and/or a pulsation strength field of a region of interest (ROI) in a patient across a field of view of an image capture device, such as a video camera. The pulsation field and/or the pulsation strength field can be generated from changes in light intensities and/or colors of pixels in a video sequence captured by the image capture device. The pulsation field and/or the pulsation strength field can be combined with indocyanine green (ICG) information regarding ICG dye injected into the patient to identify sites where blood flow has decreased and/or ceased and that are at risk of hypoxia.
