In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, mechanisms for distributed network monitoring are provided. In some embodiments, a system for distributed network monitoring comprises: local monitors, each comprising: a processor programmed to: generate a model of normal network traffic between a computing device and a router; receive additional traffic; calculate a metric based on a metadata parameter of the additional traffic; determine, based on the metric, whether the additional traffic is anomalous; and transmit, to a central monitoring system, information indicating that the additional traffic is anomalous; and the central monitoring system comprising: a second processor programmed to: receive information indicating that the additional traffic is anomalous; receive information related to the additional traffic; determine, based on the information, that the additional traffic is anomalous; and take an action to secure communications across the portion of the network associated with the additional traffic.

Systems and methods are provided for evaluating physiological signal quality. A physiological signal, based on a series measurements on a subject, may be received. A quality of the physiological signal received may be evaluated, and an analysis of the physiological signal may be based at least in part on the quality evaluation.

Spectrophotometer system configured to characterize and/or measure spectrally (wavelength)-dependent properties of material components (such as molecular, viral, and/or bacterial analytes) associated with or of an object prior to the time when optical fingerprints of such material components start to degrade, and associated methods. System can be enhanced by a capability of selecting specific wavelengths of operation for such system to optimize cost-efficiency of the system.

Spectrophotometer system and enhanced optical characterization of biological samples using same

A fall detection system includes a plurality of sensors in which at least one of the sensors is coupled to or disposed near a floor. The fall detection system further includes a central monitoring system in signal communication with the plurality of sensors. The central monitoring system is configured to receive a response signal in response to an activation signal being transmitted from at least one of the plurality of sensors, and determine whether the response signal is indicative of a person being arranged in a prone position on the floor.

Proximity based fall and distress detection systems and methods

A system and method of dynamically localizing a measurement of parameter characterizing tissue sample with waves produced by spectrometric system at multiple wavelengths and detected at a fixed location of the detector of the system. The parameter is calculated based on impulse response of the sample, reference data representing characteristics of material components of the sample, and path lengths through the sample corresponding to different wavelengths. Dynamic localization is effectuated by considering different portions of a curve representing the determined parameter, and provides for the formation of a spatial map of distribution of the parameter across the sample. Additional measurement of impulse response at multiple detectors facilitates determination of change of the measured parameter across the sample as a function of time.

Spectrometric systems and methods for improved focus localization of time- and space-varying measurements

A system and method for detecting vascular contamination by surgical anesthetic using non-invasive IR spectrophotometry. One embodiment is a method for operating an instrument such as an enhanced pulse oximeter to monitor a patient receiving local anesthetic marked with dye that absorbs infrared light. Light is applied to and detected from tissue of the patient. A signal representative of the detected light is processed to derive patient oxygenation information. The detected light is also processed to derive information representative of the presence of the dye-marked anesthetic. The oxygenation information and the information representative of the presence of anesthetic are displayed. The oxygenation monitoring and display and the anesthetic monitoring and display can occur separately or concurrently. Fluorescing dyes and fluorescence detection approaches are used for anesthetic detection in some embodiments. Other embodiments apply a sequence of light pulses and correlate the applied light pulse sequence to the detected signal to identify the presence of the dye-marked anesthetic.

Spectrometric systems and mechanical methods for improved focus localization of time and space-varying measurements

A system and optimization algorithm for determining the preferred operational wavelengths of a device configured for measurement of molecular analytes in a sample. Operational wavelengths are determined by solving a system of equations linking empirically defined functions representative of these analytes, spectrally dependent coefficients corresponding to these analytes, path lengths traversed by waves probing the analytes at wavelengths corresponding to the absorption level described by the functions representative of these analytes, and, optionally, a cost-function taking into account at least one of spectral separation between the operational wavelengths, manufacturability of wave source(s) producing wave(s) at operational wavelength(s), and the noise factor associated with the operation of such wave source(s).

Method for identifying a location of a subject in a facility and a corresponding system including a kinematic sensor configured to detect a change in subject's mechanical characteristic, and a communications unit. Communications unit includes a controller configured to receive feedback from the kinematic sensor and a unit transceiver controlled by the controller to transmit a first radio frequency (RF) signal communicating the change. The system may include a housing facilitating coupling of the kinematic sensor with the subject, and at least one facility transceiver unit arranged in a fixed location to extract the first RF signal relative to an RF pattern and to produce an output signal. A processor is configured in communication with the facility transceiver unit (wirelessly or over the facility's power wire) to receive the output signal and to generate data representative of a location of the subject relative to the fixed location.

A fall detection device may be uniquely associated with a wearer. The fall detection device may predict whether a fall event is imminent based on kinematic information of the wearer's body. The device may also confirm whether the wearer actually experienced a fall event based on additional kinematic information.

The physiological sensor may include an ECG circuit producing an output data characterizing the subject as a function of a degree of motion and/or reorientation of the monitor or an oximeter device. The process of monitoring includes a determination of R-wave of the subject.
