    摘要: According to embodiments, techniques for using continuous wavelet transforms and spectral transforms to determine oxygen saturation from photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals are disclosed. According to embodiments, a first oxygen saturation may be determined from wavelet transformed PPG signals and a second oxygen saturation may be determined from spectral transformed PPG signals. An optimal oxygen saturation may be determined by selecting one of the first and the second oxygen saturation or by combining the first and the second oxygen saturation. According to embodiments, a spectral transform of PPG signals may be performed to identify a frequency region associated with a pulse rate of the PPG signal. A continuous wavelet transform of the PPG signals at a scale corresponding to the identified frequency region may be performed to determine oxygen saturation from the wavelet transformed signal.

    摘要: According to embodiments, a method and system for artifact detection in signals is disclosed. The artifacts may take the form of movement artifacts in physiological (e.g., pulse oximetry) signals. Artifacts in the wavelet space of the physiological signal may be removed, replaced, ignored, filtered, or otherwise modified by determining the energy within a predefined moving area of the wavelet scalogram, comparing the determined energy within the predefined moving area of the wavelet scalogram to a threshold value, and masking at least one area of artifact in the wavelet scalogram based, at least in part, on the comparison. From the enhanced signal, physiological parameters, for example, respiration, respiratory effort, pulse, and oxygen saturation, may be more reliably and accurately derived or computed.

    摘要: According to embodiments, methods and systems for determining effort is disclosed. Effort may relate to a measure of strength of at least one repetitive feature in a signal. Effort may also relate to physical effort or work of a process (e.g., respiratory effort) that may affect the signal (e.g., a PPG signal). Effort may be determined through feature analysis of a transformed signal that has been transformed via a continuous wavelet transform. For example, respiratory effort may be determined using a scalogram generated based at least in part on a wavelet transform of a physiological signal and analyzing features of the scalogram.

In an embodiment, the signal may be a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal and the new signal may be further analyzed using continuous wavelet transforms.

A sum along amplitudes technique may be applied to a selected scalogram and may be plotted as a function of the scale of the scalogram. Desired information, such as respiration information within the original signal, may be identified from the plot.

    摘要: One or more physiological conditions of a patient can be observed by obtaining a photoplethysmograph (“PPG”) signal from the patient and by only lightly filtering that signal. The light filtering of the PPG may be such as to only remove (for example) high frequency noise from that signal, while leaving in the signal most or all frequency components that are due to physiological events in the patient. In this way, such physiological events can be observed via a visual display of the lightly filtered PPG signal and/or via other signal processing of the lightly filtered PPG signal to automatically extract certain physiological parameters or characteristics from that signal.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a correlation between heart rate and blood pressure in a patient. When a characteristic of the correlation exceeds a threshold, a patient status indicator signal is sent to a monitoring device. In some embodiments, the patient status indicator signal indicates a particular medical condition or alerts a care provider to a change in status. In some embodiments, the heart rate signal is used to improve a blood pressure estimate generated by a different signal. In some embodiments, the heart rate, blood pressure and correlation signals are used in a predictive mathematical model to estimate patient status or outcome.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed towards embodiments of systems and methods for discriminating (e.g., masking out) scale bands that are determined to be not of interest from a scalogram derived from a continuous wavelet transform of a signal. Techniques for determining whether a scale band is not of interest include, for example, determining whether a scale band's amplitude is being modulated by one or more other bands in the scalogram. Another technique involves determining whether a scale band is located between two other bands and has energy less than that of its neighboring bands. Another technique involves determining whether a scale band is located at about half the scale of another, more dominant (i.e., higher energy) band.
