  • Publication number: 20230103406
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for calibrating for errors dependent upon spectral characteristics of tissue for a medical device by estimating a spectral characteristic of tissue providing error due to scattering or absorption of emitted light based upon operating the sensor in reflectance mode to generate a first SpO2 reading and estimating error due to spectral characteristics of skin therefrom, operating the sensor in transmissive mode to generate a second SpO2 reading, and applying a correction to a pulse oximetry transmissive mode measurement to correct for the error dependent upon the estimated spectral characteristic of tissue.

  • Patent number: 11298076
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for monitoring a patient to produce a signal representing a blood oxygen concentration. The signal may be analyzed to determine the presence of one or more sleep apnea events, and an integral of the signal may be calculated if the signal is outside of a set range or threshold. A practitioner may choose to be informed of the presence of sleep apnea events if the blood oxygen concentration is less then a preset limit, if an upper limit has been reached for an integral representing the severity of the oxygen deprivation over time, or anytime sleep apnea events may be present in the signal.

  • Patent number: 9993208
    Abstract: Present embodiments are directed to a system and method capable of detecting and graphically indicating physiologic patterns in patient data. For example, present embodiments may include a monitoring system that includes a monitor capable of receiving input relating to patient physiological parameters and storing historical data related to the parameters. Additionally, the monitoring system may include a screen capable of displaying the historical data corresponding to the patient physiological parameters. Further, the monitoring system may include a pattern detection feature capable of analyzing the historical data to detect a physiologic pattern in a segment of the historical data and capable of initiating a graphical indication of the segment on the screen when the physiologic pattern is present in the segment.

  • Patent number: 9357953
    Abstract: Various embodiments may provide methods and systems capable of evaluating physiological parameter data. The methods and systems may include monitoring a patient to produce a signal comprising a sequence of numerical values for blood oxygen saturation over a time period. The signal may be analyzed to identify two or more desaturation patterns within the time period, and at least two numerical differences are calculated between the desaturation patterns. A saturation pattern detection index may be calculated using the numerical differences between the desaturation patterns. The saturation pattern detection index may be used to provide an indication of a physiological condition. Other embodiments may provide a medical device that may be used to evaluate physical parameter data according to the techniques described.

  • Publication number: 20140275887
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for analyzing a physiological respiratory signal in order to monitor respiratory depression events. In certain embodiments, respiratory depression is monitored by extracting a respiratory signal from a photoplethysmograph (“PPG”) signal, identifying a morphological characteristic of the respiratory signal, and generating a respiratory condition signal. In certain embodiments, an alarm and therapeutic intervention strategy are triggered upon determination of respiratory depression event.
