International Classification:

G06K009/00

US Classification:

382/112000

Abstract:

An image processing apparatus and method for measuring spatial and spectral information from an image of a printed substrate. The image processing apparatus processes the spatial and spectral information from the same acquired image using first and second processors. In some embodiments, the image processing apparatus processes the spatial information from a first acquired image and the spectral information from a second acquired image, the first and second acquired images being of the same point on the printed substrate, acquired at separate times during the travel of the printed substrate. In other embodiments, the image processing apparatus processes the spatial and spectral information from the same acquired image using the same processor.

US Classification:

358514

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for image processing using multiple imaging devices are provided. A first imaging device is configured to acquire a first image of a portion of a printed substrate and the second imaging device is configured to acquire a second image of a portion of the printed substrate. At least a portion of the first image and the second image are acquired from the same portion of the printed substrate at the same time. The first imaging device is configured to process color data from the first image using a first processing circuit of the first imaging device and the second imaging device is configured to process spatial information from the second image using a separate second processing circuit of the second imaging device.

International Classification:

G16H 40/67
G16H 10/60
G06F 3/01
G08B 21/02

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed towards a patient management system for associating a patient with a device based on sensed inputs. A computing device of a patient management system may receive, from a device coupled to a patient, a first signal associated with a physiological parameter, where the first signal has a first temporal component. Additionally, the patient management system may receive, from a healthcare establishment device, a second signal associated with the physiological parameter, where the second signal has a second temporal component. The patient management system may determine that the first temporal component aligns with the second temporal component. Based on this determination, the patient management system may associate the patient with the healthcare establishment device. The patient management system may output the activity score to an electronic device, such as a clinician device and/or a device associated with the patient.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and devices relate to monitoring biological conditions (e.g., vital signs) using patient-specific ranges. An example method includes receiving, from a sensor, first measurements of a vital sign of an individual determined automatically during a first time period and determining a baseline of the vital sign based on the first measurements by averaging the first measurements. A threshold of the vital sign can be a predetermined percentage of the baseline. Second measurements of the vital sign can be received from the sensor. In response to determining that at least one of the second measurements is outside of the range, an alarm may be triggered.

Abstract:

A sepsis monitoring system determines an initial sepsis risk assessment score, and automatically and continuously updates the sepsis risk assessment score using a sepsis risk assessment model that receives vital signs data, electronic medical records data, and admissions data to continuously update the sepsis risk assessment score. The system determines whether the patient is likely to develop sepsis based on the updated sepsis risk assessment score, and in response to determining that the patient is likely to develop sepsis, generates a notification to drive an early intervention by one or more caregivers.

Abstract:

This disclosure is directed towards detecting artifacts in an ECG signal. An ECG system may include multiple sensors which can sense an ECG signal when attached to a patient. Bipolar leads connect the sensors, and provide the ECG signal from the sensors to a computing device. The computing device receives respective signals from the bipolar leads, where the respective signals are indicative of the ECG signal. The computing device identifies, based on the respective signals, a potential artifact corresponding to a subset of the plurality of bipolar leads. The computing device determines that each lead of the subset of the plurality of bipolar leads is connected to a common sensor. The computing device may use signals originating from a remainder of the bipolar leads (e.g., the bipolar leads that are not connected to the sensor(s) where the artifact is detected) to detect a condition of the patient.
