System and method for noninvasive measurement of central venous pressure
A non-invasive method of calculating the central venous pressure (CVP) of a patient may include analysis of video of the neck region of the patient. Filters, which may include spatial filters and/or temporal filters, may be applied to the video to enhance the visibility of small movements, which may be due to circulatory pulsations of the patient. The video may be modified to highlight such movements, and motion indicative of venous pulsation may be distinctly identified and highlighted.

Methods and Systems for Engineering Power Spectral Features From Biophysical Signals for Use in Characterizing Physiological Systems
The exemplified methods and systems facilitate the use, for diagnostics, monitoring, treatment, of one or more power spectral-based features or parameters determined from biophysical signals such as cardiac/biopotential signals and/or photoplethysmography signals that are acquired non-invasively from surface sensors placed on a patient while the patient is at rest. The power spectral-based features or parameters can be used in a model or classifier (e.g., a machine-learned classifier) to estimate metrics associated with the physiological state of a patient, including for the presence or non-presence of a disease, medical condition, or an indication of either. The estimated metric may be used to assist a physician or other healthcare provider in diagnosing the presence or non-presence and/or severity and/or localization of diseases or conditions or in the treatment of said diseases or conditions.
