20110208009Physiological signal quality classification for ambulatory monitoring - Physiological signal quality classification methods and systems designed to improve ambulatory monitoring. Physiological signals are classified as good, noisy or weak based on signal properties. Once classified, signals are processed differently depending on their classification in order to encourage reliance on reliable physiological data, discourage reliance on unreliable physiological data and induce action to improve signal quality. For example, for a good signal, physiological data may be extracted from the signal and displayed to a person being monitored. For a noisy signal, a noisy signal notification may be displayed to the person in lieu of extracted physiological data. For a weak signal, a weak signal notification may be displayed to the person in lieu of extracted physiological data. Moreover, a noisy or weak signal notification displayed to a person being monitored may be accompanied by a corrective action recommendation, such as “move to quieter environment” for a noisy signal or “check body placement of sensor” for a weak signal.08-25-2011
20110230777Lightweight wheeze detection methods and systems - Lightweight wheeze detection methods and systems for portable respiratory health monitoring devices conserve computing resources in portable respiratory health monitoring devices by employing lightweight algorithm that calculates a partial STFT image of a respiratory signal that includes all data points necessary for wheeze detection but excludes many data points that are unnecessary for wheeze detection. The methods and systems provide substantial savings in computing resources while still ensuring every wheeze in a respiratory signal is detected.09-22-2011
20110230778Methods and devices for continual respiratory monitoring using adaptive windowing - Methods and devices for continual respiratory monitoring of a human subject using adaptive windowing provide continual estimates of the respiration period of the subject by continually buffering and evaluating samples of a respiratory signal in which the subject's breath sounds are embodied, and dynamically adjust the sampling window length based at least in part on the respiration period. Through this adaptive windowing technique, a sampling window length is maintained that is tailored to the subject's breathing habits, does not unduly inhibit real-time respiratory monitoring, and does not place unnecessary burdens on memory and processing resources of the respiratory monitoring device.09-22-2011
20110295138Method and system for reliable inspiration-to-expiration ratio extraction from acoustic physiological signal - A method and system for reliably estimating inspiration-to-expiration ratio from an acoustic physiological signal. A background sound level is set to an energy level whereat a predetermined share of data points on an energy envelope is below the energy level, after which respiration phase start and end times are determined at energy crossings above the background sound level, enabling more reliable determination of respiration phases. Moreover, reliably determined respiration phase start and end times, in addition to being used to estimate inspiration-to-expiration ratio, are applied to other purposes, such as estimating respiration period, validating an independently computed respiration period and/or adjusting a sampling window of the acoustic physiological signal, reducing system complexity and conserving computational resources.12-01-2011
20110295139Method and system for reliable respiration parameter estimation from acoustic physiological signal - A method and system that reliably estimates a respiration parameter from an acoustic physiological signal without introducing undue complexity or intense computation. A median filter is applied to an energy envelope of the signal to remove heart sound “sparks” from the envelope and better isolate lung sounds. The median filter is followed by a low-pass filter that removes abrupt changes in the envelope caused by the median filter's nonlinearity. Various peak cross-checks are performed on an autocorrelation result generated from the envelope to confirm the reliability of the signal before an estimate of a respiration parameter is generated from the autocorrelation result.12-01-2011
20110301426Method and device for conditioning display of physiological parameter estimates on conformance with expectations - Method and device for continual physiological monitoring in which the display of physiological parameter estimates is conditioned on conformance of the estimates with expectations. Current estimates of physiological parameters are compared with expectations for the current estimates determined using prior estimates of the physiological parameters. Nonconformance with expectations can result in display of information indicating present unavailability of an estimate for the physiological parameter. The method and device are adaptable for use with various types of monitored physiological parameters and various expectation metrics.12-08-2011
20110301427Acoustic physiological monitoring device and large noise handling method for use thereon - A physiological monitoring device and large noise handling method for use on such a device in which a reliable estimate of a physiological parameter is ensured by identifying and replacing large noise components of a physiological signal prior to estimation. An estimation period for a physiological parameter is segmented into time windows. Noisy time windows within the estimation period are identified. The noisy time windows are replaced with replacement time windows having a baseline amplitude. An estimate of the physiological parameter for the estimation period is calculated using the replacement time windows in lieu of the noisy time windows, and is outputted. If the share of noisy time windows exceeds a predetermined limit share, calculating and/or outputting of an estimate may be precluded. The physiological parameter may be heart rate.12-08-2011
20110301428Lightweight automatic gain control for ambulatory monitoring systems - Lightweight automatic gain control (AGC) methods and systems reduce usage of often scarce computing resources in ambulatory monitoring systems through an AGC algorithm that relies on lightweight calculations and judicious constraints on gain reevaluations and adjustments. Statistical range sampling is used to adjust the gain of a physiological signal to keep the signal within a target amplitude range and may be coupled with dynamic range control to prevent gain adjustments from occurring too frequently. Moreover, gain reevaluations and adjustments may be temporarily suspended when the physiological signal is noisy.12-08-2011
20110301485Data binning method and system for estimating respiratory airflow from body sound signal - Data binning methods and systems for estimating a subject's respiratory airflow from a body sound signal detected by an acoustic sensor on the subject's body. The methods and systems operate in a configuration mode followed by a monitoring mode. In the configuration mode, a body sound signal and respiratory airflow are detected by an on-body acoustic sensor and a spirometer, respectively, over a common time period. Time-aligned body sound signal and respiratory airflow data points are then generated and assigned to bins each spanning a discrete signal range (e.g. discrete signal entropy range or signal amplitude range). Respiratory airflow estimation data (e.g. mean airflow and standard deviation) are then calculated for each bin and an entry for each bin associating the discrete range and the estimation data is stored in a lookup table. Then, in the monitoring mode, the lookup table is accessed using subsequent body sound signal readings (e.g. taken in the field or at home) to provide respiratory airflow estimates without further need for a spirometer.12-08-2011
20120029298Linear classification method for determining acoustic physiological signal quality and device for use therein - Linear classification is used to determine the quality of acoustic physiological signal samples. A feature dataset is extracted from acoustic physiological signal samples of known quality (i.e., weak, noisy, good) acquired over a sampling period. A linear discriminant analysis is performed on the feature dataset to determine a direction of a linear classifier for the feature dataset. A classification error risk analysis is performed on the feature dataset to determine an offset of the linear classifier. The linear classifier is used to classify into reliability classes acoustic physiological signal samples acquired over an operating period. Information is selected for outputting using the assigned classifications, and is outputted.02-02-2012

20100262031Method and system for respiratory phase classification using explicit labeling with label verification - A method and system classify respiratory phases in a single channel acoustic signal as inspiratory and expiratory using explicit labeling with label verification. In the method and system, a subject explicitly indicates through a user input the start of a respiratory cycle (i.e. start of inspiration). The phase indication is applied to provisionally label several consecutive phases of a single channel acoustic signal as inspiratory and expiratory. A provisional phase rule set is then generated based on characteristic differences between the inspiratory and expiratory phases. The phase indication, provisional labeling and provisional rule set generation steps are then repeated. The two generated provisional rule sets are then compared for a match to verify the accuracy of the subject's phase indications and the ability to automatically recover phase in the event of signal loss.10-14-2010
