  • Publication number: 20220395222
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is a method, system and apparatus for prediction, estimation and prevention of occurrence of agitation episode in a subject predisposed to agitation. The method comprises receiving, from a first monitoring device attached to a subject, physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject and activity data of the subject; receiving, from a computing device, a plurality of indications associated with a plurality of agitation episodes of the subject; analyzing, using at least one machine learning model, the physiological data, the activity data, and the plurality of indications to determine a probability of an occurrence of an agitation episode of the subject; and sending a signal to a second monitoring device to notify the second monitoring device of the probability of the occurrence of the agitation episode of the subject such that treatment can be provided to the subject to decrease sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject.

  • Publication number: 20220202373
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes receiving first physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity and establishing a baseline value of at least one physiological parameter by training at least one machine learning model using the first physiological data. The method further includes receiving, from a first monitoring device attached to a subject, second physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject. Using the at least one machine learning model and based on the baseline value of at least one physiological parameter, the method includes analyzing the second physiological data to predict an agitation episode of the subject and sending a signal to a second monitoring device to notify of the prediction of the agitation episode of the subject such that treatment can be provided to the subject to decrease sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject.
