Jeffrey C. Sigl has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20150005594
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting untoward clinical states (e.g., hypoperfusion) and classifying patient state based on at least one calculated physiological parameter are provided. The patient state classification may be used by a physician to determine patient condition and relative risk to guide decision making during a procedure.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: January 1, 2015
    Inventors: Nassib G. Chamoun, Jeffrey C. Sigl, Scott D. Greenwald, Paul J. Manberg
  • Patent number: 8608656
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing a patient's risk of poor outcome in real-time are provided. The real-time risk may be used by a physician to guide decision making during a procedure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8005534
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of deriving and computing features and indices that predict the likelihood of psychological and neurological adverse events such as suicidal thoughts and/or actions. The method of the present invention further predicts the likelihood of suicidal thoughts and/or actions prior to and or during treatment for psychological disease. To obtain such features and indices, power spectrum and time domain values are derived from biopotential signals acquired from the subject being tested. The system and method identify people who are likely to experience changing, especially worsening, symptoms of psychological and neurological adverse events such as suicidal thoughts or actions and who therefore may be at risk (e.g. suicide).

  • Patent number: 7231245
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method that produces features and indices that indicate the presence or absence of a disease or condition, or of the progression of a disease or condition. The system and method of the present invention also produce features and indices that predict responsiveness to medication from a premedication baseline. The system and method of the present invention further incorporates a testing methodology to improve the performance characteristics of the features or indices. To obtain such features and indices, time domain, power spectrum, bispectrum and higher order spectrum values are derived from biopotential signals taken from the subject being tested.

  • Patent number: 5458117
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method to derive a diagnostic index indicative of a selected cerebral phenomena which obtains 19 unipolar EEG signals from regions of interest on both the left and right hemispheres of a subject's brain. The system uses high-gain, low-noise amplifiers to maximize the dynamic range for low energy wave components of the signals. Band-pass filtering is used to reduce noise and to avoid aliasing. The system applies commonly used digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to digitize, to low-pass filter (100 Hz), and to decimate the signals. Power spectral, bispectral, and higher-order spectral processing is then performed. In a preferred embodiment, the system divides the most recent 63 seconds of digitized EEG data from each lead into 60 4-second intervals, each with 3 seconds of overlap with the previous interval.
