Abstract:
A method for determining a respiration rate of a subject, includes receiving a first signal and a second signal, each signal being representative of a physiological parameter of the subject. The method includes removing a cardiac artifact signal from the first signal and the second signal to generate a first processed signal and a second processed signal respectively. The method includes removing a motion artifact signal from the first processed signal and the second processed signal to generate a first periodic signal and the second processed signal respectively. The method further includes removing a residual noise signal from the first periodic signal and the second periodic signal to generate a first noise free signal and the second noise free signal respectively. The method includes generating a combined value from a first value and a second value based on the first noise free signal and the second noise free signal respectively.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a system for analysis of respiratory distress in hospitalized patients. The system performs multi-parametric simultaneous analysis of respiration rate (RR) and pulse oximetry (SpO2) data trends in order to gauge patterns of patient instability pertaining to respiratory distress. Three patterns in SpO2 and RR are used along with LOWESS algorithm and Chauvenets criteria for outlier rejection to obtain robust short term and long term trends in RR and SpO2. Pattern analysis detects the presence of any one of three pattern types proposed. Further, a learning paradigm is introduced to find unknown instances of respiratory distress. This algorithm in conjunction with the learning model allows early detection of respiratory distress in hospital ward and ICU patients.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing a fetal ultrasound image includes accessing a first statistical model calculated from training data representing shapes of conforming fetal abdominal tissue exemplars and accessing image data representing a scan plane in an ultrasound image. The method further includes identifying a region of interest including an abdomen in the scan plane using the first statistical model, accessing a second statistical model calculated from training data representing shapes of conforming fetal anatomical structure exemplars, determining whether one or more anatomical structures are present within the region of interest using the second statistical model, and assigning a rating to the scan plane based on the presence of the one or more anatomical structures in the region of interest. The anatomical structures may include a stomach and/or a portal vein. The method may include calculating an estimated circumference of the abdomen.
