DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR PASSIVE CLINICAL ASSESSMENT
20230022227 · 2023-01-26 ·

A device for gathering vital sign and other heath indicator data. The device is constructed to register with a person’s anatomical structure in a predictable fashion, and to include integrated sensors positioned to register with specific anatomical portions of the person. Accordingly, relevant data and assessment may be performed passively, e.g., during physical contact/engagement of the patient with the sensors of the device, which may be for, example, a chair or other piece of furniture in which the patient may sit. The device may analyze gathered sensor data and draw clinical assessment conclusions. Data analysis may be done at the device, or remotely. Vital sign/data and/or assessment conclusions may be displayed to the caregiver only, e.g., via a display device or via an EHR or other computing system receiving data from the device. A separate display screen may display information to the patient for entertainment or instructive purposes.
