  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTING AND PREVENTING CASES OF SUDDEN UNEXPECTED INFANT DEATH CAUSED BY SUDDEN UNEXPECTED POSTNATAL COLLAPSE
    Publication number: 20240081655
    Abstract: A wearable device can be worn by a neonate or infant and used to monitor estimated instantaneous SpO2 to prevent Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse (SUPC). The wearable device includes at least one photoplethysmography sensor configured to be placed against the neonate's skin to measure pleth data and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to collect motion data of the neonate and/or a pressure sensor. The pleth data and the motion/pressure data can be sampled for a time period. The pleth data and the motion/pressure data can be analyzed to estimate an average heartrate and compute heartrate variability features for the time period. An instantaneous SpO2 can be estimated for the time period based on the pleth data, the motion data, and the heartrate variability features for the time period. The instantaneous SpO2 can be characterized as healthy, watch, or dangerous; an alert can be issued when characterized as watch/dangerous.

  • EXPERT SYSTEM TO FACILIATE SOURCE LOCALIZATION OF BRAIN ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY
    Publication number: 20160120480
    Abstract: A system or method can facilitate source localization of brain electrical activity. In one example, an expert system can be utilized to evaluate the source localization results and, based on the acceptability of the results, adjust a data preparation phase to provide for acceptable source localization.

  • System, apparatus and method for diagnosing seizures
    Patent number: 8805484
    Abstract: Systems and methods can be used to help discriminate between epileptic and non-epileptic seizures based on a relationship between the postictal heart electrical activity and the preictal heart electrical activity. Also disclosed is an approach to determine an R-R interval by using a time-invariant complex wavelet transform.
