An apparatus, system, and method for monitoring a person suffering from a chronic medical condition predicts and assesses physiological changes which could affect the care of that subject. Examples of such chronic diseases include (but are not limited to) heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and diabetes. Monitoring includes measurements of respiratory movements, which can then be analyzed for evidence of changes in respiratory rate, or for events such as hypopneas, apneas and periodic breathing. Monitoring may be augmented by the measurement of nocturnal heart rate in conjunction with respiratory monitoring. Additional physiological measurements can also be taken such as subjective symptom data, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and various molecular markers. Embodiments for detection of respiratory patterns and heart rate are disclosed, together with exemplar implementations of decision processes based on these measurements.

Apparatus, system and method for chronic disease monitoring

Methods and devices provide physiological movement detection with active sound generation. In some versions, a processor may detect breathing and/or gross body motion. The processor may control producing, via a speaker coupled to the processor, a sound signal in a user's vicinity. The processor may control sensing, via a microphone coupled to the processor, a reflected sound signal. This reflected sound signal is a reflection of the sound signal from the user. The processor may process the reflected sound, such as by a demodulation technique. The processor may detect breathing from the processed reflected sound signal. The sound signal may be produced as a series of tone pairs in a frame of slots or as a phase-continuous repeated waveform having changing frequencies (e.g., triangular or ramp sawtooth). Evaluation of detected movement information may determine sleep states or scoring, fatigue indications, subject recognition, chronic disease monitoring/prediction, and other output parameters.

Apparatus, system, and method for detecting physiological movement from audio and multimodal signals

Methods and apparatus provide monitoring of a sleep disordered breathing state of a person such as for screening. One or more sensors may be configured for non-contact active and/or passive sensing. The processor(s) () may extract respiratory effort signal(s) from one or more motion signals generated by active non-contact sensing with the sensor(s). The processor(s) may extract one or more energy band signals from an acoustic audio signal generated by passive non-contact sensing with the sensor(s). The processor(s) may assess the energy band signal(s) and/or the respiratory efforts signal(s) to generate intensity signal(s) representing sleep disorder breathing modulation. The processor(s) may classify feature(s) derived from the one or more intensity signals to generate measure(s) of sleep disordered breathing. The processor may generate a sleep disordered breathing indicator based on the measure(s) of sleep disordered breathing. Some versions may evaluate sensing signal(s) to generate indication(s) of cough event(s) and/or cough type.

Methods and apparatus for detection of disordered breathing

Methods and devices provide physiological movement detection, such as breathing, cardiac and/or gross body motion, with active sound generation using electronic processing device(s). The processor may control producing, via a speaker coupled to the processor, a sound signal in a user's vicinity. The processor may control sensing, via a microphone coupled to the processor, a reflected sound signal. This reflected sound signal is a reflection of the sound signal from the vicinity or user. The processor may process the reflected sound, such as by a demodulation technique. The sound signal may be produced as a dual tone frequency modulation continuous wave signal. Evaluation of detected movement information may determine sleep states or scoring, fatigue indications, subject recognition, chronic disease monitoring/prediction, and other output parameters.

Apparatus, system, and method for health and medical sensing

A system for predicting adoption of a prescribed treatment plan by an individual includes a data repository, a memory storing instruction, and a control system to execute the instructions. The data repository is communicatively coupled to a network and includes a plurality of storage devices storing data. The control system receives at least a portion of the data stored in the data repository. The at least a portion of the data is associated with the individual. The control system uses the machine learning adoption prediction algorithm to process the received at least a portion of the data to determine a likelihood that the individual will adopt the prescribed treatment plan. Based at least in part on (i) the prescribed treatment plan and (ii) the determined likelihood that the individual will adopt the prescribed treatment plan, the control system generates a personalized treatment adoption plan for the individual.
