Information Management System and Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013638 titled 'Information Management System and Method
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for acoustically monitoring a medical environment. The method involves generating an acoustic signal that represents the audio within the medical environment. The acoustic signal is then processed to identify audible alarms within the medical environment. These audible alarms are categorized, defining categorized alarms. Finally, the categorized alarms are processed.
