  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE ANALYSIS OF OXIMETRY BURDEN AS A MEASURE OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK
    Publication number: 20220142530
    Abstract: A system and method for image analysis of oximetry burden as a measure of cardiovascular risk are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: using a data processor to receive a digitized representation of an oximetry graph of a patient; detecting a level of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the blood of the patient over a given time period based on the digitized representation of the oximetry graph of the patient; and determining a Hypoxemia Burden Index (HBI) for the patient based on a percentage of time over a unit of measure parameter that the levels of SpO2 in the blood of the patient are below a hypoxemia burden threshold.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SLEEP DISORDER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
    Publication number: 20190328320
    Abstract: A system and method for sleep disorder diagnosis and treatment are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: establishing a wireless data communication interface between a networked server and a sleep metering system worn by a user, the sleep metering system including a sensor array, wireless transceiver, and a processor; activating the sleep metering system to begin collection of sensor data from the user based on data signals from the sensor array of the sleep metering system; receiving a respiratory waveform and data corresponding to a level of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the user's blood over time as an SpO2 waveform based on the collected sensor data; receiving a set of user-configured control variables; and generating a sleep efficiency score based on the respiratory waveform, the SpO2 waveform, and the user-configured control variables, the sleep efficiency score including a log of the user's respiratory effort reduction events (RERE) and respiratory effort exaggeration events.
