A system device and method are presented for determining if cerebral blood flow autoregulation functionality has been compromised in a patient. The system includes sensors for detecting and measuring at least two physiological parameters such as oxygenation and blood pressure. The system analyzes these measurements and presents them as waveforms. Episodes of interest in each waveform are determined and compared. Any time lag between the occurrence of episodes of interest in each waveform is established and accounted for. Where there is correspondence between episodes of interest in each waveform then impairment of cerebral blood flow autoregulation is likely.

Method for assessment of cerebrovascular regulation

A vital sign measurement device includes a sensor fixation device, a sensor frame, an optical sensing system, and an output unit. The sensor fixation device is adapted to be placed against an anatomical location of a subject. The optical sensing system includes an optical waveguide, an optical source device to supply optical energy to the optical waveguide, and an optical detector to detect an amount of optical energy exiting the optical waveguide. The optical sensing system is adapted to sense an arterial pulse from the compression or flexing of at least a portion of the optical waveguide resulting in reduction of the amount of light exiting the optical waveguide. The output unit is configured to receive a signal indicative of the amount of light exiting the optical waveguide and to generate a measure of the vital sign based at least in part on the received signal.

Optical power modulation vital sign detection method and measurement device

A vital sign measurement device includes a sensor fixation device, an optical sensing system, and an output unit. The sensor fixation device is adapted to be placed against an anatomical location of a subject, within which is an artery. The optical sensing system includes an optical source, an optical refractor, and an optical detector, all of which are held by the sensor fixation device and move with movement of the sensor fixation device. The optical sensing system is positioned with respect to the sensor fixation device to sense movement corresponding to an arterial pulse when the sensor fixation device is placed against the anatomical location of the subject. The optical sensing system can sense an arterial pulse from the movement, bending, or compression of at least one portion of the optical sensing system relative to other portions of the optical sensing system resulting in a change in an optical signal received by the optical detector. The output unit receives, from the optical sensing system, an input indicative of movement corresponding to an arterial pulse and generates, using the input, a measure of the vital sign.

The output unit generates a measure of the vital sign using a signal indicative of the optical signal received within the detected portion of the speckle pattern output.

An optical motion sensing device included a sensor frame defining an opening, a sensor pad disposed in the opening, an optical sensing system adapted to detect an amount of movement of the sensor pad in the sensor frame, and an output unit. The optical sensing system includes an optical waveguide, an optical source device, and an optical detector. The optical waveguide is positioned within the sensor frame such that the movement of the sensor pad results in the flexing or compressing of the optical waveguide. The optical source device supplies optical energy to the optical waveguide. The optical detector detects an amount of optical energy exiting the optical waveguide. The output unit is configured to receive a signal indicative of the amount of optical energy exiting the optical waveguide and to generate a measure of the amount of movement of the sensor pad from the received signal.
