Patent number: 11950890Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for monitoring patient hemodynamic status, systemic vascular resistance, reversal of cardiac and respiratory rates, and patient respiratory volume or effort are disclosed. A peripheral venous pressure is measured and used to detect levels, changes, or problems relating to patient blood volume. The peripheral venous pressure measurement is transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain for analysis. A heart rate frequency is identified, and harmonics of the heart rate frequency are detected and evaluated to determine, among other things, hypovolemia or hypervolemia, systemic vascular resistance, and of cardiac and respiratory rates, and patient respiratory volume or effort.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignees: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC., BAXTER HEALTHCARE SAInventors: Jonathan Handler, James Martucci, Kyle Hocking, Susan Eagle, Colleen Brophy, Richard Boyer, Franz Baudenbacher

Patent number: 11935127Abstract: This technology relates to providing a web-based digital claims platform to provide users with a simple and customized experience when filing insurance claims. The platform is enabled by a plurality of back-end application programming interface (API) resources. These API resources are event-driven (e.g., when an “event” associated with the claim occurs, the status of the claim changes and the API is provided with updated information indicative of the change). The platform includes a customized user interface (UI) that tailors the claim experience to a particular user's needs. The customization can be based off of stated user preferences and/or learned user preferences associated with the user's past behavior. A user can perform/request various services through the customized UI's self-service function (e.g., rent a car, find a hotel room, select a repair shop, etc.). Additionally, the customized UI can enable the user upload documents, track claim status, find relevant help topics, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: William Simonovich, Jordan Leach, Natalie Smith, Brittany Boyer, Yohan Santos, Kenrick Niedbalski, Richard Kim, Deborah Taylor, Jared Musil, Archy Ntabona, Abdul Wahab, Loubna Fassi, Mary Gonsalves, Benjamin Tarmann, Sam Yeargin

Publication number: 20210267468Abstract: Peripheral intravenous (IV) waveform analysis (PIVA) systems and methods for determining an intravascular volume status of a living subject and monitoring an IV line functionality of a peripheral IV device are provided. The PIVA system includes a peripheral IV device and a processing device. The peripheral IV device includes a peripheral IV catheter inserted into a vein of the living subject, and a fluid controlling device to control fluid flow from a fluid source to the peripheral IV catheter. The processing device receives peripheral venous signals from the peripheral IV device, performs a spectral analysis on the peripheral venous signals to obtain a peripheral venous pressure frequency spectrum; and performs a statistical analysis on amplitudes of peaks of the peripheral venous pressure frequency spectrum to determine an intravascular volume status of the living subject and/or an IV line functionality of the peripheral IV catheter in real time.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Susan S.

Patent number: 10456046Abstract: Aspects of the invention relates to systems and methods for detecting volume status, volume overload, dehydration, hemorrhage and real time assessment of resuscitation, as well as organ failure including but not limited cardiac, renal, and hepatic dysfunction, of a living subject using non-invasive vascular analysis (NIVA). In one embodiment, a non-invasive device, which includes at least one sensor, is used to acquire vascular signals from the living subject in real time. The vascular signals are sent to a controller, which processes the vascular signals to determine at least one hemodynamic parameter, such as the volume status of the living subject. In certain embodiments, the vascular signals are processed by a spectral fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis to obtain the peripheral vascular signal frequency spectrum, and the volume status of the living subject may be determined by comparing amplitudes of the peaks of the peripheral vascular signal frequency spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Vanderbilt UniversityInventors: Susan Eagle, Colleen Brophy, Kyle Hocking, Franz Baudenbacher, Richard Boyer

Publication number: 20190183362Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for filtering medical device noise artifacts from circulatory waveform signals are disclosed. A circulatory pressure is measured and transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain for analysis to determine patient status. To avoid artifacts of the pumping, the time-domain measurements are filtered to generate a filtered time-domain signal, by removing active pumping periods. The filtered time-domain signal is transformed into a frequency-domain signal, which is analyzed based upon peaks indicating respiratory rate, heart rate, or harmonics thereof. Peaks may be adjusted based on a ratio that considers removed signals. A metric of patient status is then determined from the peaks or corresponding frequencies. The patient status may be related to blood volume of the patient and may be used to control pump operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2018Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Jonathan Handler, James Martucci, Kyle Hocking, Susan Eagle, Colleen Brophy, Richard Boyer, Franz Baudenbacher
