RESPIRATION MONITOR
A system for respiration monitoring includes a garment, which is configured to be fitted snugly around a body of a human subject, and which includes, on at least a portion of the garment that fits around a thorax of the subject, a pattern of light and dark pigments having a high contrast at a near infrared wavelength. A camera head is configured to be mounted in proximity to a bed in which the subject is to be placed, and includes an image sensor and an infrared illumination source, which is configured to illuminate the bed with radiation at the near infrared wavelength, and is configured to transmit a video stream of images of the subject in the bed captured by the image sensor to a processor, which analyzes movement of the pattern in the images in order to detect a respiratory motion of the thorax.
OPIOID OVERDOSE MONITORING
An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information
Method and apparatus for vital signs measurement
A method of monitoring changes in oxygen saturation of a subject by analysing a three colour channel video image of the exposed skin of the subject. Within each colour channel a normalised signal obtained by dividing the intensity signal by its mean value, and the normalised signals are averaged across plural regions of interest within the exposed skin area image of the subject. Regions of interest are selected on the basis of the signal-to-noise ratios for the heart rate and breathing rate components. A single representative waveform for each colour channel is obtained by signal averaging and the ratio of the amplitudes of the representative waveforms from two different colour channels, e.g. blue and red, is taken. The changes in the ratio of amplitudes is output as a measure of changes in blood oxygen saturation.
