Patent number: 11179105Abstract: The invention provides a physiological probe that comfortably attaches to the base of the patient's thumb, thereby freeing up their fingers for conventional activities in a hospital, such as reading and eating. The probe, which comprises a separate cradle module and sensor module, secures to the thumb and measures time-dependent signals corresponding to LEDs operating near 660 and 905 nm. The cradle module, which contains elements subject to wear, is preferably provided as a disposable unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: SOTERA WIRELESS, INC.Inventors: Devin McCombie, Gunnar Trommer, Jim Moon, Marshal Dhillon, Scott Clear, Julian Groeli

Publication number: 20190183422Abstract: The invention provides a body-worn vital sign monitor that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g. blood pressure, SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) while simultaneously characterizing their activity state (e.g. resting, walking, convulsing, falling) and posture (upright, supine). The monitor processes this information to minimize corruption of the vital signs and associated alarms/alerts by motion-related artifacts. It also features a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered on a touchpanel display that facilitates a number of features to simplify and improve patient monitoring and safety in both the hospital and home.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2019Publication date: June 20, 2019Applicant: SOTERA WIRELESS, INC.Inventors: Jim MOON, Gunnar TROMMER, Caroline DiBATTISTA

Publication number: 20150164437Abstract: The invention provides a body-worn monitor that measures a patient's vital signs (e.g. blood pressure, SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) while simultaneously characterizing their activity state (e.g. resting, walking, convulsing, falling). The body-worn monitor processes this information to minimize corruption of the vital signs by motion-related artifacts. A software framework generates alarms/alerts based on threshold values that are either preset or determined in real time. The framework additionally includes a series of ‘heuristic’ rules that take the patient's activity state and motion into account, and process the vital signs accordingly. These rules, for example, indicate that a walking patient is likely breathing and has a regular heart rate, even if their motion-corrupted vital signs suggest otherwise.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2015Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Devin McCombie, Marshal Singh Dhillon, Matthew Banet, Gunnar Trommer, Jim Moon
