20090312689, Dec 17, 2009
Filed:
Jun 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/477334
Inventors:
Amy Droitcour - San Francisco CA, US
Janet A. Tamada - Stanford CT, US
Assignee:

Appl. No.:
13/108795
Inventors:
Amy Droitcour - San Francisco CA, US
Alexander Vergara - Honolulu HI, US
Tommy Shing - Honolulu HI, US
Charles El Hourani - Honolulu HI, US
Robert Nakata - Honolulu HI, US
Scott Miyasato - Mililani HI, US
Assignee:
KAI MEDICAL, INC. - Honolulu HI
International Classification:
A61B 5/0205
A61B 5/08

US Classification:
600323, 600484, 600538, 600407, 600528
Abstract:
Aspects of the of the disclosure relate to a non-contact physiological motion sensor and a monitor device that can incorporate use of the Doppler effect. A continuous wave of electromagnetic radiation can be transmitted toward one or more subjects and the Doppler-shifted received signals can be digitized and/or processed subsequently to extract information related to the cardiopulmonary motion in the one or more subjects. The extracted information can be used, for example, to determine apneic events and/or to provide apnea therapy to subjects when used in conjunction with an apnea therapy device. In addition, methods of use are disclosed for sway cancellation, realization of cessation of breath, integration with multi-parameter patient monitoring systems, providing positive providing patient identification, or any combination thereof.
