SOUND DETECTION SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE
A sound detection system includes a plurality of microphones each configured to detect a sound inside a living body and output a sound signal generated based on the detected sound; and an information processing device that includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire the sound signal from each of the plurality of microphones, a control unit, and an output unit, the control unit specifies a first position that is a position of a prescribed living body site based on the sound signals acquired by the acquisition unit, estimates a second position that is in a prescribed relative positional relation with the first position, and controls directivities of the plurality of microphones to increase a sensitivity with respect to the second position, and the output unit outputs information generated based on the sound signals acquired by the acquisition unit in which the directivities of the plurality of microphones are controlled.
System for positioning an intubation tube
This document describes a system for determining positioning of an intubation tube in a patient. The system can include a first acoustic sensor configured to be disposed to listen to one of a lung and a stomach of the patient and to provide a first signal. The system includes a signal processing unit, coupled to the first acoustic sensor, configured to analyze spectral components of the first signal and determine whether a frequency of the spectral components of the first signal are characteristic of sounds induced by ventilation via the intubation tube of airflow to the lung or the stomach of the patient.
Transesophageal or transtracheal cardiac monitoring by optical spectroscopy
Devices, systems and methods useable for useable for monitoring a physiological variable in a target tissue or body fluid located within the thorax of a subject by optical spectroscopy.
Apparatus and method for identification of wheezing in ausculated lung sounds
Described herein are a computer enhanced medical method and device for generating an asthmatic condition indication. The apparatus receives a lung signal from a stethoscope, the lung signal having been converted from an analog signal to a digital signal. Furthermore, circuitry included in the apparatus performs, inter alia, the following: displays a patient recording canvas corresponding to physical locations on a body of the patient, the canvas including an anterior patient orientation and a posterior patient orientation, generates a recording process, the recording process including recording, for a predetermined period of time, the detected lung signal, and associates the recording with a marked location. Furthermore, the circuitry merges the recorded lung signal from each marked location on the patent recording canvas as merged information, and applies processing to the merged information to generate the asthmatic condition indication.
