  • Publication number: 20240057921
    Abstract: Biometric data is measured by at least one remote monitoring device, and the biometric data includes electrocardiogram (ECG) data relating to a patient. The ECG data includes a plurality of critical rhythms, and one of the plurality of critical rhythms is identified as an onset event. The ECG data is modified, based on the identified onset event.

  • Patent number: 11839479
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying onset of a cardiac event. Embodiments receive biometric data measured by at least one remote monitoring device, the biometric data comprising an electrocardiogram (ECG) data relating to a patient. It is determined that the ECG data includes a plurality of critical rhythms, and one of the plurality of critical rhythms is identified as an onset event. The ECG data is modified, based on the identified onset event. The modified ECG data facilitates treatment of the patient related to the identified onset event.

  • Publication number: 20220330838
    Abstract: A method includes retrieving a plurality of indications of cardiac events in a patient, heart rates of the patient during the cardiac events, and durations of the cardiac events. The method also includes selecting a subset of indications from the plurality of indications based on the heart rates of the patient during the cardiac events and the durations of the cardiac events and sorting the subset of indications based on heart rates of the patient during the cardiac event indicated by the subset of indications and based on durations of the cardiac events indicated by the subset of indications to produce a sorted list of indications. The method further includes communicating, from the sorted list, an indication that is first in the sorted list for clinical review.

  • Publication number: 20220336106
    Abstract: A method includes assigning a first instance of a cardiac event that occurred in a patient during a period of time to a first bucket of a first plurality of buckets based on a first measured heart rate of the patient during the first instance. A first heart rate threshold of the first bucket is less than the first measured heart rate. The method also includes determining whether the first heart rate threshold exceeds heart rate thresholds of all buckets of the plurality of buckets to which an instance of the cardiac event that occurred in the patient during the period of time is assigned, determining whether a number of instances of the cardiac event that occurred in the patient during the period of time exceeds an event threshold, and preventing the first instance of the cardiac event from being communicated for clinical review.

  • Patent number: 8996452
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating an ensemble model from multiple data sources. In one embodiment, the ensemble model is generated using a global validation sample, a global holdout sample and base models generated from the multiple data sources. An accuracy value may be determined for each base model, on the basis of the global validation dataset. The ensemble model may be generated from a subset of the base models, where the subset is selected on the basis of the determined accuracy values.

  • Publication number: 20050056298
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a fastening and decorative device which comprises a resilient o-ring shaped anchor ring and a decorative device or unit comprising in combination an ornamental unit connected to a base support unit having hook on means for removeably attaching to the anchor ring. The hook on means is connected to the back of the base support unit and comprises a reversed R-shaped configuration in cross section. An alternative embodiment for the hook on means comprises an inverted J-shaped configuration in cross section, connected to the back of the base support unit. Another alternative embodiment of the device resides in removeably attached snap on units connecting the ornamental unit to the back support unit. The decorative device can also contain hook on clip units.

  • Publication number: 20040238780
    Abstract: A control valve includes a valve body fabricated from a first metallic material, a flow passage formed through the valve body, a valve plug movable within the flow passage between an open and a closed position, and a valve seat within the flow passage. The valve seat is fabricated from a second metallic material having at least one physical characteristic different from that of the first metallic material, and is integrally formed with the valve body.
