EXTRACTING CLINICALLY RELEVANT INFORMATION FROM MEDICAL RECORDS
In some examples, a computing system includes a data repository configured to store a plurality of treatments and a corresponding plurality of clinically relevant phrases; and a computing system comprising processing circuitry configured to receive prehospital data; determine at least one clinically relevant phrase of the plurality of clinically relevant phrases present in the EMS prehospital data; and determine at least one recommended treatment associated with the at least one clinically relevant phrase.
Medical records and treatment system and process
A method and system of providing patient self-screening of an encounter, taking of medical history, and refinement by medical professionals where patient medical information and prior encounters prior to a first stage with medical professionals are compared. Multiple issues are entered through a visual tablet based application. The medical information is passed between medical professionals and refined with input from the patient and at multiple stages and validated at each multiple stage.
ALERT GENERATION BASED ON A COGNITIVE STATE AND A PHYSICAL STATE
Provided are techniques for alert generation based on a cognitive state and a physical state. Wearables data, text communications, voice communications, and images of a caregiver providing care to a patient are obtained. The wearables data, the text communications, the voice communications, and the images are analyzed to identify a cognitive state and a physical state of the caregiver. The cognitive state and the physical state are compared to one or more care rules associated with tasks of the caregiver for the patient. In response to the comparison indicating any one of the cognitive state and the physical state prevent the caregiver from executing the tasks, an alert is generated. One or more recommendations for resolving the alert based on one or more recommendation rules are generated.
Trauma scene monitoring system
A trauma scene monitoring system includes a medic-worn illumination device, a casualty-worn informatics system, and a remote monitoring station. The illumination device includes a frame with boom-mounted light sources positioned below the wearer's eyes near the zygomatic bones, thus orienting the light sources to project light in the direction of the wearer's view. Also included are audio/video means to capture audio/video information from a scene attended by the medic, and a telemetry unit to transmit that information to the remote monitoring station. The casualty-worn informatics system is integrated within a headband worn by a monitored individual. The informatics system includes sensors to provide the monitored individual's vital statistics and a telemetry unit to transmit data concerning the monitored individual to the remote monitoring station. At the remote monitoring station, receiving and presentation stations provide views of the data concerning the monitored individual and audio/video data from the medic-worn illumination device.
Head Mounted Medical Device and Operating Method
A head mounted medical device and an operating method are provided. The medical device includes an information acquisition module for acquiring physiological sign information of a patient and/or operation information; a remote communication module for communicating with an external wireless communication module, communicating includes transmitting a data collected by the information acquisition module to the external wireless communication module and receiving a data sent by the external transmission module; an information output module for displaying or sending the data sent by the external wireless communication module to the person wearing the medical device. The head mounted medical device can be used in emergency situations and can assist the rescuer wearing it to automatically obtain the patient's physiological status, automatic diagnosis from the device or remote diagnosis, remote guidance and tips etc., which greatly standardize the operations of first aid and thus improves the success rate of first aid.
NON-INVASIVE METHOD OF ESTIMATING INTRA-CRANIAL PRESSURE (ICP)
A non-invasive method of estimating intra-cranial pressure (ICP). The method including the steps of: a. non-invasively measuring pressure pulses in an upper body artery; b. determining central aortic pressure (CAP) pulses that correspond to these measured pressure pulses; c. identifying features of the ICP wave which denote cardiac ejection and wave reflection from the cranium, including Ejection Duration (ED) and Augmentation Index of Pressure (PAIx); d. non-invasively measuring flow pulses in a central artery which supplies blood to the brain within the cranium; e. identifying features of the measured cerebral flow waves which denote cardiac ejection and wave reflection from the cranium as Flow Augmentation Index (FAIx); f. calculating an ICP flow augmentation index from the measured central flow pulses; g. comparing the calculated ICP pressure augmentation index (PAIx) and flow augmentation index (FAIx) to measure (gender-specific) pressure and flow augmentation data indicative of a measured ICP to thereby estimate actual ICP; and h. noting any disparity between ED measured for pressure waves and ED measured for flow.
TRAUMA SCENE MONITORING SYSTEM
A trauma scene monitoring system includes a medic-worn illumination device, a casualty-worn informatics system, and a remote monitoring station. The illumination device includes a frame with boom-mounted light sources positioned below the wearer's eyes near the zygomatic bones, thus orienting the light sources to project light in the direction of the wearer's view. Also included are audio/video means to capture audio/video information from a scene attended by the medic, and a telemetry unit to transmit that information to the remote monitoring station. The casualty-worn informatics system is integrated within a headband worn by a monitored individual. The informatics system includes sensors to provide the monitored individual's vital statistics and a telemetry unit to transmit data concerning the monitored individual to the remote monitoring station. At the remote monitoring station, receiving and presentation stations provide views of the data concerning the monitored individual and audio/video data from the medic-worn illumination device.
System and method for rapid ECG acquisition
In one embodiment, an ECG monitoring system includes two or more electrodes configured to record cardiac potentials from a patient, at least one processor, and a rapid acquisition module executable on the at least one processor to: determine that an impedance of each electrode is less than an impedance threshold; record initial ECG lead data based on the cardiac potentials; determine that a noise level in each ECG lead of the initial ECG data is less than a noise threshold; start a recording timer once the noise level is below the noise threshold; record an ECG dataset while the noise level is maintained below the noise threshold until the recording timer reaches a predetermined test duration; store the ECG dataset and provide a completion alert.
Strategic treatment of pressure ulcer using sub-epidermal moisture values
The present disclosure provides methods of identifying a patient in need of pressure ulcer treatment and treating the patient with clinical intervention selected based on sub-epidermal moisture values. The present disclosure also provides methods of stratifying groups of patients based on pressure ulcer risks and methods of reducing incidence of pressure ulcers in a care facility.
Automated external defibrillator with shortened pause for rhythm analysis
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is described which includes two electrocardiogram (ECG) analyzers. One of the ECG analyzers is suitable for use only for ECG which is signal-noise-free, and thus may be used during hands-off analysis periods in which no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions can be provided. The length of the hands-off analysis period can be shortened by use of the second ECG analyzer in concert with the first ECG analyzer. Thus, a greater proportion of CPR time through the course of a cardiac arrest rescue is achieved.
