摘要:
The invention provides a body-worn monitor that measures a patient’s vital signs (e.g. blood pressure SpO2 heart rate respiratory rate and temperature) while simultaneously characterizing their activity state (e.g. resting walking convulsing falling). The body-worn monitor processes this information to minimize corruption of the vital signs by motion-related artifacts. A software framework generates alarms/alerts based on threshold values that are either preset or determined in real time. The framework additionally includes a series of ‘heuristic’ rules that take the patient’s activity state and motion into account and process the vital signs accordingly. These rules for example indicate that a walking patient is likely breathing and has a regular heart rate even if their motion-corrupted vital signs suggest otherwise.
