  • Publication number: 20240115216
    Abstract: Use of non-contact monitoring systems to monitor a subject (e.g., baby, infant, child) in a sleeping or resting environment. The systems identify the position of the subject and alert a caregiver if the subject is in a potentially hazardous position, such as lying prone (on their front) or if the subject has remained in the same position for a period of time longer than a threshold time. The non-contact monitoring systems can be configured to detect a physical attribute (e.g., respiration rate, tidal volume, pulse, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20240119819
    Abstract: Use of non-contact monitoring systems to monitor a subject (e.g., baby, infant, child) in a sleeping or resting environment. The systems utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to identify potential hazards to the subject and alert a caregiver. The systems can be trained to recognize the location of an object as a potential hazard, recognize the location of an object as not a potential hazard, and/or to recognize the type of object as not a potential hazard. The caregiver may acknowledge the potential hazard is indeed a hazard or may clear the potential hazard and the alert, which the system will remember for subsequent like occurrences.

  • Patent number: 11918385
    Abstract: In some examples, a device includes a memory configured to store a first relationship between a blood pressure and another physiological parameter of a patient, the first relationship being indicative of cerebral autoregulation of the patient. The device also includes processing circuitry configured to receive first and second signals indicative of the blood pressure and the physiological parameter, respectively, of a patient. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine an expected value and an actual value of the physiological parameter at a particular blood pressure value of the first physiological signal. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on a difference between the actual value and the expected value, and store, in the memory, a second relationship between the blood pressure and the physiological parameter, the second relationship being indicative of a change in the cerebral autoregulation of the patient from the first relationship.

  • Publication number: 20240016440
    Abstract: Use of non-contact patient monitoring systems to detect, diagnose, monitor and/or adjust therapy for diseases or conditions that have motion-based symptoms, symptoms such as limb tremors, spasms, etc. that can be correlated to diseases or conditions such as Essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, restless leg syndrome, or a diabetic episode. Information garnered by the non-contact monitoring system, information such as location, frequency, severity, and duration of the motion, can be collected and analyzed so that a diagnosis can be made and/or a treatment plan developed and/or adjusted by the patient's caretaker. The non-contact monitoring can provide real-time feedback regarding effectiveness of therapies or treatments, such as, e.g., neurological stimulation.

  • Publication number: 20230410343
    Abstract: The present technology relates to the field of medical monitoring, and, in particular, to non-contact detecting and monitoring of patient breathing. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for calculating a change in depth of a region of interest (ROI) on a patient. In some embodiments, the systems, methods, and/or computer readable media can identify steep changes in depths. For example, the systems, methods, and/or computer readable media can identify large, inaccurate changes in depths that can occur at edge regions of a patient. In these and other embodiments, the systems, methods, and/or computer readable media can adjust the identified steep changes in depth before determining one or more patient respiratory parameters.

  • Publication number: 20230397843
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides image-based patient monitoring by capturing a first image, by an image capture sensor, of a predefined region of a patient at a first time, capturing a second image, by the image capture sensor, of the predefined region of the patient at a second time, determining whether the first captured image and the second captured image satisfy a non-respiratory motion condition, the non-respiratory motion condition based in part on a predefined relationship between captured images and motion of a patient attributable to patient actions other than respiration of the patient, classifying a motion of the patient as non-respiratory motion when the non-respiratory motion condition is satisfied, and transmitting an instruction to display an indication of veracity of a respiratory measurement of the patient measured between the first time and the second time based on the classified motion.

  • Publication number: 20230389864
    Abstract: In some examples, a patient monitoring system includes processing circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of a nociception event of a patient during a medical procedure. The processing circuitry may, for example, monitor a nociception parameter of the patient during the medical procedure, determine a characteristic nociception parameter at a point in time based at least in part on values of the nociception parameter over a period of time, and determine, based at least in part on comparing the characteristic nociception parameter at the point in time with a nociception threshold, a nociception event has occurred at the point in time. In some examples, the processing circuitry is configured to provide an indication to adjust an amount of analgesic administered to the patient based on the determination that the nociception event has occurred at the point in time.
