US 11,534,365 B2 · “Wearable sensor devices and systems for patient care”

Abstract

A system for monitoring performance of a resuscitation activity on a patient by an acute care provider is provided. The system includes: a first wearable sensor configured to sense movement of a first portion of an acute care provider's hand; a second wearable sensor configured to sense movement of a second portion of the acute care provider's hand; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive and process signals representative of performance of a resuscitation activity from the first sensor and the second sensor; identify from the processed signals information indicative of at least one of a relative distance, a relative orientation, a change in relative distance and a change in relative orientation between the first sensor and the second sensor during performance of the resuscitation activity; and determine at least one resuscitation activity parameter based, at least in part, on the identified information.

Dependent claims

A system for obtaining a record of chest compressions performed by an acute care provider for a patient, the system comprising:

at least one motion sensor wearable on a hand of the acute care provider configured to sense movement of the acute care provider's hand during performance of the chest compressions by the acute care provider;
and
a controller configured to:
receive and process a signal from the at least one motion sensor to detect movements of the acute care provider's hand;
identify a type of the chest compressions being performed by the acute care provider from a plurality of types of chest compressions based on the detected movements of the acute care provider's hand, wherein the plurality of types of chest compressions comprises chest compressions performed by pressing against a sternum of the patient and chest compressions performed by squeezing a chest and back of the patient together
automatically record at least one time-stamped marker indicating the type of the chest compressions performed by the acute care provider and a time that the chest compressions were performed;
and
cause a feedback device communicatively coupled to the controller to provide feedback for the identified type of chest compressions being performed.

A system for obtaining a record of one or more resuscitation activities performed by an acute care provider for a patient, the system comprising:

at least one motion sensor wearable on a hand of the acute care provider configured to sense movement of the acute care provider's hand during performance of the one or more resuscitation activities by the acute care provider, the at least one motion sensor comprising a first wearable motion sensor configured to sense movement of a first portion of the acute care provider's hand, and a second wearable motion sensor configured to sense movement of a second portion of the acute care provider's hand;
and
a controller configured to:
receive and process signals from the first wearable motion sensor and the second wearable motion sensor,
identify, from the received signals, movement of the first wearable sensor in a first direction and movement of the second wearable sensor in a second direction;
identify the one or more resuscitation activities being performed by the acute care provider based on differences between the first direction and the second direction;
and
automatically record at least one time-stamped marker for the identified one or more resuscitation activities.
