Compressed-sensing of spatiotemporally-correlated and/or rakeness-processed electrograms
An apparatus includes data acquisition circuitry and a processor. The data acquisition circuitry is configured to acquire multiple signals using multiple respective electrodes of an array of electrodes coupled to one of an organ of a patient and tissue or a cell culture. The processor is configured to hold a definition of a mixed-norm that is defined as a function of relative positions of the electrodes in the array, and jointly compress the multiple signals in a compressed-sensing (CS) process that minimizes the mixed-norm.

Blood pressure-monitoring system with alarm/alert system that accounts for patient motion
The invention provides a system and method for measuring vital signs (e.g. SYS, DIA, SpO2, heart rate, and respiratory rate) and motion (e.g. activity level, posture, degree of motion, and arm height) from a patient. The system features: (i) first and second sensors configured to independently generate time-dependent waveforms indicative of one or more contractile properties of the patient's heart; and (ii) at least three motion-detecting sensors positioned on the forearm, upper arm, and a body location other than the forearm or upper arm of the patient. Each motion-detecting sensor generates at least one time-dependent motion waveform indicative of motion of the location on the patient's body to which it is affixed. A processing component, typically worn on the patient's body and featuring a microprocessor, receives the time-dependent waveforms generated by the different sensors and processes them to determine: (i) a pulse transit time calculated using a time difference between features in two separate time-dependent waveforms, (ii) a blood pressure value calculated from the time difference, and (iii) a motion parameter calculated from at least one motion waveform.
