DETECTION OF AUDIBLE ALERTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240252752 titled 'DETECTION OF AUDIBLE ALERTS
The patent application describes techniques for detecting audible alerts in medical devices.
- One or more processors determine an alert condition in the device.
- Data indicating the alert condition is transmitted wirelessly to a separate device.
- Using a microphone, an audio signal is obtained from the medical device.
- Based on the audio signal, it is determined if the separate device has outputted an audible alert.
Potential Applications: - Medical devices with audible alerts - Remote monitoring systems - Healthcare facilities
Problems Solved: - Ensuring timely response to alert conditions - Improving communication between devices
Benefits: - Enhanced patient safety - Streamlined alert notifications - Improved coordination in healthcare settings
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Alert Detection System for Medical Devices" This technology can be used in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings to improve alert management and patient care.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve patient outcomes? - This technology enables quick and accurate detection of audible alerts, leading to timely responses to critical situations. 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology? - By improving communication and coordination, this technology can help reduce errors and improve efficiency in healthcare settings.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are techniques for detection of audible alerts. in some embodiments, the techniques may involve determining, by one or more processors of a medical device, an occurrence of an alert condition. the techniques may further involve causing transmission, via a wireless communication channel and to a physically separate device, data indicative of the occurrence of the alert condition. the techniques may further involve after causing transmission of the data indicative of the occurrence of the alert condition, obtaining, using a microphone of the medical device, an audio signal. the techniques may further involve determining, based on the obtained audio signal, whether the physically separate device has outputted an audible alert indicative of the alert condition.
