Abstract
A system and method for data processing is disclosed. One example of a processor-based method comprises accessing data representative of a time series of at least one component of a timed waveform corresponding to a pulse, and searching the data for an occurrence of a cluster of variations induced by at least one of an apnea cluster and a hypopnea cluster. An exemplary system comprises a memory device adapted to access data representative of a time series of at least one component of a timed waveform corresponding to a pulse, and a processor adapted to search the data for an occurrence of a cluster of variations induced by at least one of an apnea cluster and a hypopnea cluster.
Claims60
A processor-based method for processing data, comprising:
- accessing data representative of a time series of at least one component of at least one timed waveform corresponding to a plethesmographic pulse;
- and
- searching the data for an occurrence of a cluster of variations in said waveform induced by at least one of an apnea cluster and a hypopnea cluster.
A system for processing data, comprising:
- a memory device adapted to access data representative of a time series of at least one component of a timed waveform corresponding to a plethesmographic pulse;
- and
- a processor adapted to search the data for an occurrence of a cluster of variations induced by at least one of an apnea cluster and a hypopnea cluster.
A system for processing data, comprising:
- means for accessing data representative of a time series of at least one component of a timed waveform corresponding to a plethesmographic pulse;
- and
- means for searching the data for an occurrence of a cluster of variations induced by at least one of an apnea cluster and a hypopnea cluster.
A tangible machine-readable medium comprising:
- code adapted to access stored data representative of a time series of at least one component of a parameter corresponding to a plethesmographic pulse;
- and
- code adapted to search the data for an occurrence of a cluster of variations induced by at least one of an apnea cluster and a hypopnea cluster.
