==CONTACTLESS CONTROL OF PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020092 titled 'CONTACTLESS CONTROL OF PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORS

==Simplified Explanation==

Systems and methods for contactless control of a physiological monitor are disclosed in this patent application. These systems utilize input devices for audio-based and gesture-based control of the monitor. By processing audio or gesture commands, the monitor can perform various actions such as initiating monitoring, silencing alarms, changing parameters, navigating screens and menus, and more. The contactless nature of these systems reduces or eliminates physical contact with the monitor, which can help prevent contamination between patients or individuals.

* The patent application describes systems and methods for controlling a physiological monitor without physical contact.
* The systems utilize input devices for audio-based and gesture-based control.
* Audio and gesture commands are processed to direct the monitor to perform actions.
* Actions include initiating monitoring, silencing alarms, changing parameters, navigating screens and menus, and more.
* Contactless control reduces the risk of contamination between patients or individuals.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology has potential applications in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare. It can also be used in non-medical environments where contactless control is desired, such as in research laboratories or industrial settings.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of contamination between patients or individuals that can occur through physical contact with a physiological monitor. By enabling contactless control, the risk of spreading infections or diseases is significantly reduced. Additionally, it provides a convenient and hygienic way to interact with the monitor, improving overall user experience.

== Benefits ==
The contactless control of a physiological monitor offers several benefits:
* Reduced risk of contamination between patients or individuals.
* Improved hygiene and infection control.
* Enhanced user experience by providing a convenient and intuitive control method.
* Increased flexibility in controlling the monitor from a distance.
* Potential for integration with other healthcare technologies and systems.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems and methods for contactless control of a physiological monitor are provided. a number of systems utilize an input device for audio-based control of a physiological monitor and/or an input device for gesture-based control of a physiological monitor. many systems process audio (e.g., voice) or gesture commands to direct a physiological monitor to perform actions, such as begin monitoring, silencing an alarm, changing parameters, navigating screens and/or menus, and/or any other function. such contactless systems reduce or eliminate physical contact with a physiological monitor, which can mitigate contamination between patients or individuals, which can occur via traditional systems.
