A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, and other information, such as signal-to-noise information, from a physiological signal. The system may generate at least one difference signal based on the physiological signal and sort the at least one difference signal to generate at least one sorted difference signal. The system may analyze the at least one sorted difference signal to determine at least two values indicative of noise. The system may determine a value indicative of a signal-to-noise ratio based on the two or more values indicative of noise.

A physiological monitoring system may process a physiological signal such a photoplethysmograph signal from a subject. The system may determine physiological information, such as a physiological rate, from the physiological signal. The system may use search techniques and qualification techniques to determine one or more initialization parameters. The initialization parameters may be used to calculate and qualify a physiological rate. The system may use signal conditioning to reduce noise in the physiological signal and to improve the determination of physiological information. The system may use qualification techniques to confirm determined physiological parameters. The system may also use autocorrelation techniques, cross-correlation techniques, fast start techniques, and/or reference waveforms when processing the physiological signal.
摘要:
A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may receive a calculated value indicative of a period associated with a physiological rate. The system may determine a first value indicative of a baseline of the physiological signal and a second value indicative of a deviation of the physiological signal from the baseline. The first value may, for example, be a median value, an average, or a coefficient corresponding to a best fit curve of the physiological signal. The second value may be a standard deviation value, a standard error, or a root mean square value based on the physiological signal. The system may qualify or disqualify the calculated value based on the first and second values.

A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may determine a skew metric based on the physiological signal. The system may also determine a correlation lag value corresponding to a peak in a correlation sequence derived from the physiological signal. The system may qualify or disqualify the correlation lag value based on the skew metric. The system may, for example, compare the skew metric and the correlation lag value to a reference set of skew metric values and correlation lag values to determine whether to qualify or disqualify the correlation lag value.

A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may generate a difference signal based on the physiological signal and sort the difference signal to generate a sorted difference signal. The system may identify a midpoint of a first segment of the difference signal and a midpoint of a second segment of the difference signal. The first segment may correspond to positive values of the difference signal and the second segment may correspond to negative values of the difference signal. The system may determine an algorithm setting based on the first midpoint and the second midpoint. The algorithm setting may, for example, affect the amount of filtering applied to the physiological signal.
摘要:
A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may filter the physiological signal based on an adjustable filter to generate a filtered physiological signal. The system may perform calculations over time based on the filtered physiological signal to determine values indicative of a physiological parameter. The adjustable filter may be adjusted based on the values indicative of the physiological parameter. Some of the calculations are qualified and some of the calculations are disqualified. The system may determine a metric based on the physiological signal that is used to determine whether to output a value based on one or more previously calculated values when a current calculation is disqualified. The system may output a value based on one or more previously calculated values when a current calculation is disqualified and when a criterion based on the metric is satisfied.
摘要:
A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may receive a calculated value indicative of a physiological rate. The system may determine difference values between a first collection of values of the physiological signal and another collection of corresponding value of the physiological signal spaced from the first collection based on the calculated value. The system may sum the difference values, and qualify or disqualify the calculated value based on the sum. The difference values may have positive and negative values, or the system may calculate an absolute value of each difference value prior to summing. The sum may be compared to a threshold to determine whether to qualify or disqualify the calculated value.

A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, and other information, such as noise information, from a physiological signal. The system may generate a difference signal based on the physiological signal and sort the difference signal to generate a sorted difference signal. The system may identify one or more data points of the sorted difference signal as being associated with noise. For example, one or more end data points may be identified as being associated with noise based on a threshold. The system may determine a value indicative of noise based on the identified data points.
摘要:
A physiological monitoring system may determine physiological information, such as physiological rate information, from a physiological signal. The system may select two segments of the physiological signal, shifted in time relative to one another by a lag value, and determine a correlation value between the two segments. The system may determine a metric based on the segments, and determine correlation information based on the correlation value and the metric. The metric may be indicative of how well the segments are correlated, providing additional information relative to the correlation value. Based on the metric, the system may modify the correlation value, determine a confidence value, or determine other information. The system may determine physiological rate information based on the correlation information.
