Abstract: A system and method for prompting a patient experiencing ventilatory depression to breathe includes at least one sensor for detecting ventilatory depression by detecting inadequate breathing or lack of breathing in the patient. The system also includes one or more sensors for determining the type of breathing problem experienced by the patient. A sensor for detecting motion of the patient is used to determine whether the patient is moving. If inadequate or a lack of breathing is detected and the patient is not moving, the system provides verbal prompts or tactile stimuli to prompt the patient to breathe to improve patient ventilation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for combining predictive analytics with a cutting-edge electrochemical sensor having specialized coatings designed to reduce biofouling to (1) monitor drug concentration data of a patient in real-time; and (2) predict future pharmacokinetic parameters for the patient more accurately than existing technologies. Embodiments may construct highly accurate and patient-specific pharmacokinetic models which can dynamically adjust predictions of future pharmacokinetic parameters as they receive real-time drug concentration data from the electrochemical sensor. Certain embodiments may automatically adjust administration of a drug to a patient based on the aforementioned predictions and pharmacokinetic models. Other embodiments may provide a notification to a clinician containing, e.g., a recommended course of drug administration before a patient is woken up.
