METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING CARDIO-PULMONARY HEALTH
Disclosed is a cardio-pulmonary health monitoring apparatus. The apparatus comprises a contactless motion sensor configured to generate one or more movement signals representing bodily movement of a patient during a monitoring session; a processor; and a memory storing program instructions configured to cause the processor to carry out a method of processing the one or more movement signals. The method comprises extracting one or more sleep disordered breathing features from the one or more movement signals, and predicting whether a clinical event is likely to occur during a predetermined prediction horizon based on the one or more sleep disordered breathing features.

System for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient
A system for assisting a rescuer includes: a chest compression sensor configured to sense movement of the patient's chest and a second sensor configured to sense information indicative of whether the rescuer's hand is in contact with or is not in contact with the patient's chest. The second sensor is configured to be positioned on the patient's chest at a location corresponding to a location of the rescuer's hand when delivering chest compressions to the patient's chest. The system also includes a feedback device and a computing unit. The computing unit is configured to cause the feedback device to provide chest compression feedback based on a determined chest compression rate and chest compression depth and to provide chest release feedback based on a determination of whether the rescuer is releasing the chest in between chest compressions.
