Abstract
An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information.
Claims20
A system to monitor a user for an opioid overdose event, the system comprising software instructions storable on a memory of a mobile computing device that includes one or more hardware processors, wireless communication circuitry, a touchscreen display, a speaker, a camera, and a microphone, the software instructions causing the one or more hardware processors to:
- receive representations of images from the camera;
- process the representations of images to determine respiratory distress;
- determine an opioid overdose event is occurring or will soon occur based on the processed representations of the images;
- present a request for user input on the touchscreen display based on the determination;
- generate an escalating alarm with the speaker based on the determination to prompt the user to provide the user input;
- and
- transmit wirelessly notifications of the opioid overdose event to one or more recipients based on a failure to receive the user input.
A system to monitor a user for an opioid overdose event, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to sense one or more physiological parameters associated with respiration of a user from an environment local to the user and provide raw sensor data for the sensed one or more physiological parameters;
- a signal processing device in communication with the one or more sensors, the signal processing device configured to receive the raw sensor data from the one or more sensors and process the raw sensor data to determine respiration data;
- and
- a mobile computing device in communication with the signal processing device, the mobile computing device comprising wireless communication circuitry, a touchscreen display, a speaker, a camera, memory storing software instructions, and one or more hardware processors configured to execute the software instructions to at least:
- receive the respiration data from the signal processing device;
- determine a respiration rate based on the respiration data;
- receive representations of images of a user from the camera;
- process, with one or more hardware processors, the representations of the images to determine respiratory distress;
- for the determined respiration rate less than a threshold, determine, with the one or more hardware processors, an opioid overdose event is occurring or will soon occur based on the processed representations of the images;
- present a request for user input on the touchscreen display based on the determination of the opioid overdose event;
- generate an escalating alarm with the speaker based on the request for user input to prompt the user to provide the user input;
- and
- transmit wirelessly notifications of the determined overdose event to one or more recipients based on a failure to receive the user input.
A method to monitor a user for an opioid overdose event, the method comprising:
- receiving representations of images of a user from a camera of a mobile computing device;
- processing, with one or more hardware processors of the mobile computing device, the representations of images to determine respiratory distress;
- determining, with the one or more hardware processors of the mobile computing device, an opioid overdose event is occurring or will soon occur based on the processed representations of the images;
- presenting, with the one or more hardware processors of the mobile computing device, a request for user input on a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device, the request based on the determination;
- generating an escalating alarm with a speaker of the mobile computing device based on the determination to prompt the user to provide the user input;
- and
- transmitting wirelessly, with the mobile computing device, notifications of the overdose event to one or more recipients based on a failure to receive the user input.
