| 20090204013 | WEARABLE MONITORING SYSTEM - A system for measuring/monitoring the vital signs of a patient especially blood pressure, comprising a plurality of electrodes arranged at least in the waistband of an undergarment, and means for deriving measurements from the electrodes using pulse-transit times. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090240125 | INTEGRATED PULSE OXIMETRY SENSOR - In a medical pulse oximetry sensor ( | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100217118 | DETECTION OF ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CARDIO-VASCULAR ACTIVITIES - The invention relates to the detection of electrical and mechanical cardio-vascular activities of a patient, especially to early decompensation detection of congestive heart failure patients (CHF). The device according to the invention comprises a transmitter for transmitting electromagnetic signals of a predefined frequency into the chest of the patient, a Doppler radar sensor | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100222687 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VITAL BODY SIGNS OF A SEATED PERSON - A method comprising the step of using a plurality of doppler radars disposed on the seat belt or integrated into the seat belt for monitoring vital body signs of a person seated in a seat of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The disclosed method unobtrusively monitors vital body signs like heart rate and respiration of the person seated in the motor vehicle. A number of safety applications as well as wellness applications can be enabled. Examples are detection of momentary sleep of the driver, vital sign monitoring in case of an accident as well as relaxation exercise using biofeedback to reduce stress for drivers. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110112425 | CONTACTLESS RESPIRATION MONITORING OF A PATIENT - The invention relates to a method for detection of respiration of a patient comprising the following steps: emitting an electromagnetic signal towards the patient; receiving a reflected electromagnetic signal reflected from the patient; converting the reflected electromagnetic signal, yielding a first signal; phase-shifting the reflected electromagnetic signal and converting the phase-shifted reflected electromagnetic signal, yielding a second signal; determining a first vector being defined by the time derivatives of the first signal and the second signal, for a common first point in time; determining a second and vector being defined by the time derivatives of the first signal and the second signal, for a common second point in time; and calculating the scalar product of the normalized first vector and the normalized second vector as an indicator value for a change from expiration to inspiration of the patient or vice versa. A change from expiration to inspiration of the patient or vice versa is preferably indicated if the indicator value is below a threshold value, preferably below a value of 0. In this way, a possibility for contactless remote respiration monitoring of a patient based on the Doppler radar principle is provided which is reliable and easy to handle. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110144456 | MONITORING THE BLOOD PRESSURE OF A PATIENT - A method for monitoring the blood pressure of a patient, comprising the following steps: determining a pulse arrival time signal from the patient | 06-16-2011 |
