NON-VISUAL ALERTS AND INDICATORS OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240260895 titled 'NON-VISUAL ALERTS AND INDICATORS OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method performed by a medical device that involves detecting a sound indicative of cardiac activity of a subject, generating audio indicative of the subject's pulse by analyzing the sound, and simultaneously outputting the audio indicative of the pulse and a visual signal indicating an additional physiological parameter of the subject.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Detection of cardiac activity through sound analysis
- Generation of audio representing the subject's pulse
- Simultaneous output of audio and visual signals indicating physiological parameters
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in medical devices for monitoring cardiac activity and other physiological parameters in patients.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for non-invasive monitoring of cardiac activity and other physiological parameters in real-time.
Benefits:
- Real-time monitoring of cardiac activity
- Non-invasive method for detecting physiological parameters
- Simultaneous output of audio and visual signals for easy interpretation
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include medical monitoring devices for hospitals, clinics, and home use, as well as research tools for studying cardiac activity.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the sound analysis accurately detect cardiac activity? 2. What other physiological parameters can be detected using this method?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research may focus on improving the accuracy and efficiency of sound analysis for detecting cardiac activity and other physiological parameters.
Original Abstract Submitted
an example method is performed by a medical device and includes detecting, during a time interval, a sound indicative of cardiac activity of a subject; generating audio indicative of a pulse of the subject by analyzing the sound; and simultaneously outputting: the audio indicative of the pulse of the subject; and a visual signal indicating an additional physiological parameter of the subject detected during the time interval.
