Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods that relate to pulse oximetry. Specifically, one embodiment includes an oximeter sensor comprising a light emitting element configured to emit light, a light detector configured to detect the light, and a memory chip having a built-in trimmed resistor, the trimmed resistor having a resistance value that is detectable by a monitor.
Claims19
A device wearable by a patient, comprising:
- an accelerometer configured to collect motion data indicative of a presence of patient motion;
- a sensor configured to collect sensor data from the patient;
- a processor configured to generate physiological data based at least in part on the motion data, the sensor data, or both;
- at least one memory configured to store the physiological data;
- and
- an interface configured to transmit at least some of the physiological data to a remote device, wherein the device is configured to operate independently from the remote device,
- wherein the device is configured to store at least a portion of the physiological data in the at least one memory in response to the processor determining that the physiological data exceeds one or more alarm limits.
4 more elements
A device wearable by a patient, comprising:
- a sensor configured to collect sensor data from the patient;
- a processor configured to generate physiological data based in least in part on the sensor data, wherein the processor is configured to access one or more patient specific alarm limits and to determine whether the physiological data exceeds the one or more patient specific alarm limits;
- and
- at least one memory configured to store the physiological data, wherein the device is configured to store the physiological data in the memory in response to the processor determining that the physiological data exceeds the one or more patient specific alarm limits.
