  • Patent number: 11406269
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for assessing, predicting and/or estimating a probability that a patient is bleeding, in some cases, noninvasively. In various embodiments, tools and techniques are provided for implementing rapid detection of bleeding of the patient or implementing assessment, prediction, or estimation of a probability of bleeding of the patient following injury, in some instances, in real-time before, during, and after fluid resuscitation. According to some embodiments, one or more sensors might monitor physiological data of the patient before, during, and after resuscitation following injury. A computer system might receive and analyze the physiological data, and might estimate a probability that the patient is bleeding, based at least in part on the analyzed physiological data. An indication of at least one of an assessment, prediction, or estimate of a probability that the patient is bleeding may then be displayed on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11395634
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for assessing, predicting and/or estimating a physiological state of a patient, based on variance of the patient's compensatory reserve index (“CRI”) before, during, and/or after a physical perturbation. In some embodiments, the system might receive a first set of physiological data from one or more sensors at a first time relative to a physical perturbation of the patient, and might calculate a first set of CRI values of the patient. The system might receive a second set of physiological data at a second time relative to the physical perturbation, calculate a second set of CRI values, analyze the two sets of CRI values against a pre-existing model, estimate a physiological state (e.g., hydration, etc.) of the patient, and display the estimate on a display device. The system might also control an infusion device to infuse fluids into the patient based on estimated hydration state.

  • Patent number: 11382571
    Abstract: Tools and techniques for estimating and/or predicting a patient's current and/or future blood pressure. In some cases, the tools will analyze physiological data captured from the patient against a model of blood pressure values to estimate/predict the patient's blood pressure value. In particular cases, derived parameters, such as a patient's compensatory reserve index (“CRI”) can be analyzed against such models, while in other cases, data captured from sensors can be directly analyzed against such models.
