20160038048 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING HEARTBEAT IRREGULARITIES - There is a method and system for detecting heartbeat irregularities comprising the steps of receiving a dataset representative of at least one waveform, the at least one waveform indicative of a subject's heart activity over a predetermined period of time; identifying from the data representative of at least one waveform, a plurality of peaks, each peak corresponding to a heartbeat; identifying from the predetermined period of time the time occurrence of each peak; calculating the difference (duration) between the time occurrence of each peak with its adjacent peak; determining the difference between each duration; classifying the absolute value of the difference into one of at least three intermediate categories; wherein each intermediate category comprises a specified range such that the absolute value is categorized into the intermediate category if it falls between the range; the intermediate categories further providing an indication of whether the subject has heartbeat irregularity. | 02-11-2016 |
20130304112 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ALTERING THE ARTERIAL PULSE WAVEFORM OF A BODY - An apparatus and method for altering reflected arterial pulse of a body is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a belt having a compression member arranged to apply a pressure to the body, the belt being arranged to be positioned such that the compression member applies the pressure to one of at least two pressure points between the xiphis sternum and navel of the body, the belt adjustable to provide at least two pressure levels to each of the at least two pressure points and a blood pressure monitoring device arranged to obtain a beat-to-beat arterial pulse waveform when the pressure is applied at each of the pressure points and at each of the at least two pressure levels; and analyze the waveform to determine the optimum position for the compression device to apply the pressure to the body to alter the pulse waveform. | 11-14-2013 |
20110230773 | METHOD OF DERIVING CENTRAL AORTIC SYSTOLIC PRESSURE VALUES AND METHOD FOR ANALYSING AN ARTERIAL DATASET TO DERIVE THE SAME - A method, system and computer readable medium for deriving central aortic systolic pressure by reversing the order of a set of predetermined number of blood pressure measurements to obtain a reversed blood pressure set; averaging the reversed blood pressure set such that the average set represents a moving average waveform; overlaying the reversed blood pressure set and the moving average waveform; identifying a point of intersection on the reversed arterial waveform and the moving average waveform, and setting the central aortic systolic pressure as a reversed blood pressure value in the reversed blood pressure set nearest to the point of intersection. | 09-22-2011 |
20110213254 | METHOD OF DETERMINING BLOOD PRESSURE AND AN APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING BLOOD PRESSURE - An apparatus and method enables a reading of a continuous beat to beat heart rate at the superficial temporal artery to give an indication of blood pressure of the brain and blood related diseases. The apparatus is non-invasive. Preferably a reading of a continuous beat to beat heart rate is measured on both the left superficial temporal artery and the right superficial temporal artery simultaneously during the same heart beat. Where the wave form measured from the left temporal artery differs from the wave form measured from the right temporal artery this may be an indication of an impending stroke or an indication that a stroke has recently happened. Further, the indices of the wave forms may be used as a clinical indication of other blood related diseases. | 09-01-2011 |
20080306393 | Deriving Central Aortic Systolic Pressure and Analyzing Arterial Waveform Data to Derive Central Aortic Systolic Pressure Values - A method of deriving central aortic systolic pressure comprises (a) creating a set having a predetermined number of blood pressure measurements, the set representative of an arterial waveform; (b) determining an integer interval value; (c) averaging a series of consecutive blood pressure measurement readings in the set equal to the integer interval value commencing from the f | 12-11-2008 |
