In the present invention, a right leg drive RLD monitoring system is employed on a medical computing system/computer, such as an ECG, HEMO and/or EP monitoring, mapping and/or recording system, that includes a number of RLD circuits to be utilized for different procedures or monitoring states to be performed using the system. The RLD monitoring system operates to actively monitor and/or record the feedback voltage to the RLD isolated from the patient. Using the measured feedback voltage data, the RLD monitoring system can identify and determine if the RLD circuit in use is approaching saturation, has reached saturation and the duration the RLD circuit was in saturation. The RLD monitoring system can concurrently and/or subsequently select and/or provide selection information regarding an optimal RLD circuit to be utilized to most effectively perform the desired function of the RLD in the procedure being performed using the monitoring, mapping and/or recording system.

Monitoring patient compliance with a compression therapy regimen. Venous Refill Time (VRT) is monitored via a pressure sensor in a bladder of a compression system. A controller of the compression system correlates the monitored VRT to a predetermined threshold to determine whether the patient is using the compression system.

To provide objective indications of the progression of peripheral neuropathy of patients, a transmitter apparatus is utilized to produce reproducible pulse signals to specified locations on the human body to determine a minimum level of stimulation necessary to elicit a consciously detectable sensation through the generation of a series of pulse signals of varying intensities, and the recordation of the number of pulse signals felt by the patient. Moreover, the nerve velocity of the patient is additionally determined for a patient via the transmitter apparatus and a receiver apparatus detecting body-signals passing along a nerve within the patient and corresponding to the pulse signals applied to the patient. The results of these tests are recorded over time, thereby enabling generation of patient-specific models indicative of the progression of the patient's peripheral neuropathy over time.

The present invention provides a method of conducting a sleep analysis by collecting physiologic and kinetic data from a subject, preferably via a wireless in-home data acquisition system, while the subject attempts to sleep at home. The sleep analysis, including clinical and research sleep studies and cardiorespiratory studies, can be used in the diagnosis of sleeping disorders and other diseases or conditions with sleep signatures, such as Parkinson's, epilepsy, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, or other neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, or muscular disorders. The method of the present invention can also be used to determine if environmental factors at the subject's home are preventing restorative sleep.
