    摘要: In some embodiments, a self-monitoring intravenous catheter system is provided. An alarm controller is provided that receives signals representing a pH value, an oxygen saturation value, and a pressure value in proximity to the distal end of the catheter. By performing a fuzzy logic analysis of the values, the alarm controller is able to detect that the catheter is about to fail or has failed, and can cause alerts to be presented. In some embodiments, an intravenous catheter is provided that has a pH sensor and an oximeter disposed at a distal end of the catheter to obtain the pH value and oxygen saturation values analyzed by the alarm controller. Embodiments of the catheter and self-monitoring intravenous catheter system may be particularly useful in treating neonates, who are sensitive to catheter failure and are not capable of detecting the signs of failure themselves.

    摘要: A stroke detection device includes a cell phone having a sensor adapted to sense a characteristic of the user of the cell phone. An app executed by the cell phone passively monitors the characteristic to determine if the user has experienced a stroke. The app requests that the user take one or more tests using the cell phone if the presence of a stroke is possible. The tests include the user speaking a specific phrase into the cell phone that is compared to a previously recorded sound sample of the user; the user taking a picture of himself or herself with the cell phone that the app compares to a previous picture of the user; and the user attempting to hold his or her arm out straight while holding the cell phone wherein accelerometers in the phone measure the steadiness of his or her arm.

    摘要: A charging station for providing power to a physiological monitoring device can include a charging bay and a tray. The charging bay can include a charging port configured to receive power from a power source. The tray can be positioned within and movably mounted relative to the charging bay. The tray can be further configured to secure the physiological monitoring device and move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the tray can be spaced away from the charging port, and, in the second position, the tray can be positioned proximate the charging port, thereby allowing the physiological monitoring device to electrically connect to the charging port.

    摘要: [Subject] Non-invasive method for estimating blood pressure without a cuff and a device for the blood pressure estimation
    [Resolution means] Systolic blood pressure (EBP) is estimated according to EBP=β1·P1+β2·P2+β0 (β1, β2, and β0 are coefficients) where parameter P1, which is related to pulse transit time (PTT), and parameter P2, which is related to stroke volume based on pulse waves, are variables.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for monitoring a subject's autoregulation function state is provided. The method includes: a) continuously sensing a tissue region of the subject with a tissue oximeter, the sensing producing first signals, and determining frequency domain tissue oxygen parameter values; b) continuously measuring a blood pressure level of the subject using a blood pressure sensing device, the measuring producing second signals, and determining frequency domain blood pressure values; c) determining a coherence value indicative of the subject's autoregulation state in each of a plurality of different frequency bands; and d) determining a peak coherence value indicative of the subject's autoregulation state based on the determined coherence value from each of the plurality of different frequency bands.

    摘要: A display device measures a user's blood pressure by detecting a photoplethysmography signal. A display device includes a display panel that includes a through hole and a pixel area that surrounds the through hole and includes pixels that display an image, a pressure sensor disposed on a surface of the display panel and configured to sense an externally applied pressure, a light-emitting member disposed at a position that overlaps the through hole of the display panel and outputs light toward a front side of the display panel through the through hole, and a light-receiving sensor that faces the front side of the display panel and is configured to sense light reflected from the front side of the display panel toward the display panel.
