  • System and method for signal quality indication and false alarm reduction in ECG monitoring systems
    Patent number: 8805482
    Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring system configured to determine an index that comprises a set of indicators, where each indicator is indicative of a level of signal quality in an ECG lead. Further, the ECG monitoring system assigns a first indicator from the set of indicators to a first ECG lead signal and communicates the first indicator to a user.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 12, 2014
    Assignee: General Electric Conpany
    Inventors: David A. Sitzman, Timothy L. Johnson, Stephen T. Treacy, Sahika Genc
  • System and method of discovering, detecting and classifying alarm patterns for electrophysiological monitoring systems
    Patent number: 7679504
    Abstract: A system and method for electrophysiological monitoring system including a plurality of sensors configured to detect one or more health parameters of a patient and a monitoring device configured to receive a plurality of sensing signals from the sensors and output a monitoring signal representative of an alarm sequence, wherein the alarm sequence comprises a set of alarm events identified in the sensing signals. The system also includes an on-line monitoring module configured to generate a suffix tree data structure in response to the monitoring signal to identify alarm patterns from the set of alarm events and classify the alarm sequence in response to the occurrences of alarm patterns in the alarm sequence. The on-line monitoring module is further configured to alert monitoring personnel of an alarm condition after processing the alarm sequence in real-time.
