Automated Detection of Breathing Disturbances

Approaches to determining a sleep fitness score for a user are provided, such as may be based upon monitored breathing disturbances of a user. The system receives user state data generated over a time period by a combination of sensors provided via a wearable tracker associated with the user. A system can use this information to calculate a sleep fitness score, breathing disturbance score, or other such value. The system can classify every minute within the time period as either normal or atypical, for example, and may provide such information for presentation to the user.

CLASSIFYING SIGNALS FOR MOVEMENT CONTROL OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
20220164029 · 2022-05-26 ·

Disclosed is a method for classifying signals for movement control of an autonomous vehicle. The method includes receiving first data comprising concurrently recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) signals from a user. The data is used to train a classification model based on the recorded signals. The method further involves receiving second data comprising further EEG and EMG signals recorded from the user, comparing the second data to the classification model to determine a user movement represented by the second data, and determining a control signal for controlling the autonomous vehicle, based on the user movement. This may be used in a further method for identifying an event.

Method and system for acquiring biosignals in the presence of HF interference

The present invention, herein is a method and apparatus that significantly limits the effect of high frequency (“HF”) interferences on acquired electro-physiological signals, such as the EEG and EMG. Preferably, this method comprises of two separate electronic circuitries and steps or electronics for processing the signals. One circuit is used to block the transmission of HF interferences to the instrumentation amplifiers. It is comprised of a front-end active filter, a low frequency electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) shield, and an isolation barrier interface which isolates the patient from earth ground. The second circuit is used to measure the difference in potential between the two isolated sides of the isolation barrier. This so-called “cross-barrier” voltage is directly representative of the interference level that the instrumentation amplifier is subjected to. This circuit is used to confirm that the acquired signals are not corrupted by the interference.

ECG signal processing method and apparatus
11337638 · 2022-05-24 · ·

An electrocardiograph (ECG) signal processing method and apparatus to resolve a problem that relatively severe interference caused during single-arm measurement for single-lead ECG collection seriously affects accuracy of heart rate calculation and cardiac rhythm analysis. The method includes collecting, by a measurement device, an ECG signal, extracting a k.sup.th valid QRS complex of the ECG signal, calculating a k.sup.th time difference and a (k+1).sup.th time difference, and determining whether the k.sup.th time difference and the (k+1).sup.th time difference are target time differences. In this way, accuracy of ECG feature extraction is improved, the interference caused during the single-arm measurement is eliminated to the most extent, and the accuracy of heart rate calculation and cardiac rhythm analysis can be effectively guaranteed.
