  • Publication number: 20220104737
    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes an oxygen saturation sensing device configured to sense an oxygen saturation level of a patient and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a signal indicative of the oxygen saturation level of the patient, determine that the signal indicates the oxygen saturation level is at or below a desaturation threshold, and in response to determining the oxygen saturation level of the patient is at or below the desaturation threshold, 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.

  • Patent number: 11202580
    Abstract: In some examples, devices, systems, and techniques are configured to compensate for changes in sensed blood pressure due to issues such as blood pressure sensor movement. For example, processing circuitry of a device may determine a difference value between a first blood pressure value representative of a blood pressure at a first time and a second blood pressure value representative of the blood pressure at a second time. Responsive to determining that the difference value is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the processing circuitry may generate updated blood pressure values by applying an offset value to the second blood pressure value and subsequently received blood pressure values that compensates for the difference value between the first blood pressure value and the second blood pressure value.
