  • Publication number: 20230414181
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a medical monitoring hub as the center of monitoring for a monitored patient. The hub includes configurable medical ports and serial ports for communicating with other medical devices in the patient's proximity. Moreover, the hub communicates with a portable patient monitor. The monitor, when docked with the hub provides display graphics different from when undocked, the display graphics including anatomical information. The hub assembles the often vast amount of electronic medical data, associates it with the monitored patient, and in some embodiments, communicates the data to the patient's medical records.

  • Publication number: 20220330842
    Abstract: A system for non-invasively determining an indication of an individual's blood pressure is described. In certain embodiments, the system calculates pulse wave transit time using two acoustic sensors. The system can include a first acoustic sensor configured to monitor heart sounds of the patient corresponding to ventricular systole and diastole and a second acoustic sensor configured to monitor arterial pulse sounds at an arterial location remote from the heart. The system can advantageously calculate a arterial pulse wave transit time (PWTT) that does not include the pre-ejection period time delay. In certain embodiments, the system further includes a processor that calculates the arterial PWTT obtained from the acoustic sensors. The system can use this arterial PWTT to determine whether to trigger an occlusive cuff measurement.

  • Publication number: 20220022748
    Abstract: A system for collecting physiological data from a patient is disclosed. The system includes a reusable module and a disposable module. The disposable module collects and transmits physiological data to the reusable module, which in turn transmits the physiological data to a patient monitoring system. The reusable module accesses operation data from the disposable module to validate the disposable sensor assembly. Optionally, the operation data includes sensor life data that may be used to determine life expectancy of disposable module. The disposable sensor assembly may store the physiological data for a predetermined length of time when there is no wireless communication established for the reusable module.
