Publication number: 20230397827Abstract: A method for optimizing a pulse wave velocity measurement system, comprising: (i) transmitting a pulse from a pulse generator of a first sensor component of the pulse wave velocity measurement system, wherein the first sensor component further comprises a first clock, and wherein the pulse is transmitted from the pulse generator at a known transmission time based on the first clock; (ii) receiving the transmitted pulse by a pulse receiver of a second sensor component of the pulse wave velocity measurement system, wherein the second sensor component further comprises a second clock, and wherein the pulse is received at a known receipt time based on the second clock; (iii) comparing the known transmission time to the known receipt time; and (iv) optimizing, based on the comparison, the pulse wave velocity measurement system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Koen Theo Johan de Groot, Jozef Hubertus Gelissen, Carlijn Andrea Vemooij, Wihelmus Franciscus Johannes Verhaegh, Linda Maria Eerikainen, Alberto Giovanni Bonomi, Reinder Haakma

Patent number: 10898085Abstract: A pressure distribution profile of a subject lying on a mat is used to derive a measure of pulse wave velocity. Beat locations are identified where beat pressure signals are identified, and pulse timing information is obtained from the beat locations. By determining a subject posture, the beat locations are mapped to anatomical body locations and arterial path length information is obtained for the anatomical body locations. A pulse wave velocity is then estimated from the pulse timing information and arterial path lengths. This method enables measuring the pulse wave velocity during sleep in a comfortable, easy and unconstrained manner. This is accomplished by analyzing signals from a pressure sensitive surface for example on top of a bed mattress or by embedding a pressure sensitive layer in the mattress.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Koen Theo Johan De Groot, Mustafa Ghassan Radha, Jozef Hubertus Gelissen, Reinder Haakma

Patent number: 10856801Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to detect slow wave sleep and/or non-slow wave sleep in a subject during a sleep session based on a predicted onset time of slow wave sleep and/or a predicted end time of slow wave sleep that is determined based on changes in cardiorespiratory parameters of the subject. Cardiorespiratory parameters in a subject typically begin to change before transitions between non-slow wave sleep and slow wave sleep. Predicting this time delay between the changes in the cardiorespiratory parameters and the onset and/or end of slow wave sleep facilitates better (e.g., more sensitive and/or more accurate) determination of slow wave sleep and/or non-slow wave sleep.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Pedro Miguel Fonseca, Xi Long, Nicolaas Gregorius Petrus Den Teuling, Reinder Haakma, Ronaldus Maria Aarts

Patent number: 10702207Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system (10) configured to determine spectral boundaries (216, 218) for sleep stage classification in a subject (12). The spectral boundaries may be customized and used for sleep stage classification in an individual subject. Spectral boundaries determined by the system that are customized for the subject may facilitate sleep stage classification with higher accuracy relative to classifications made based on static, fixed spectral boundaries that are not unique to the subject. In some implementations, the system comprises one or more of a sensor (16), a processor (20), electronic storage (22), a user interface (24), and/or other components.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2015Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Xi Long, Reinder Haakma, Pedro Miguel Ferreira Dos Santos Da Fonseca, Ronaldus Maria Aarts

Patent number: 10682083Abstract: A sensor system comprises first and second PPG sensors. A monitoring system monitors detection by at least one of the first and second detectors an optical calibration signals, for performing time calibration between the first and second PPG sensors. This system makes use of two PPG sensors. To enable these sensors to be independent units, rather than being fully integrated into a combined system, a calibration system is provided. Based on detected optical signals, the behavior over time of each PPG sensor can be monitored and thus calibration can take place.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Sam Martin Jelfs, Jozef Hubertus Gelissen, Reinder Haakma, Laurentia Johanna Huijbregts, Adrianus Petrus Johanna Maria Rommers

Patent number: 10524674Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to determine one or more parameters based on cardiorespiratory information from a subject and determine sleep stage classifications based on a discriminative undirected probabilistic graphical model such as Conditional Random Fields using the determined parameters. The system is advantageous because sleep is a structured process in which parameters determined for individual epochs are not independent over time and the system determines the sleep stage classifications based on parameters determined for a current epoch, determined relationships between parameters, sleep stage classifications determined for previous epochs, and/or other information. The system does not assume that determined parameters are discriminative during an entire sleep stage, but maybe indicative of a sleep stage transition alone. In some embodiments, the system comprises one or more sensors, one or more physical computer processors, electronic storage, and a user interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Pedro Miguel Fonseca, Xi Long, Nicolaas Gregorius Petrus Den Teuling, Reinder Haakma, Ronaldus Maria Aarts

Patent number: 10363388Abstract: Systems and methods for providing sensory stimuli induce and/or enhance sleep and/or slow wave neural activity of a subject during sleep. Operation of the systems and methods is based on measured information related to cardiac attributes and/or respiratory attributes of the subject, and corresponding cardiac parameters and/or respiratory parameters based thereon. Attributes may be measured and/or monitored via one or more sensors, e.g. worn on an extremity of the subject and/or placed at a distance from the subject. Sensory stimulation delivered to the subject during specific targeted periods of sleep may enhance slow wave neural activity.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Pedro Miguel Fonseca, Gary Nelson Garcia Molina, Reinder Haakma
