Abstract
Technologies and implementations for a multifunctional healthcare monitoring apparatus are generally disclosed.
Claims17
A multifunctional healthcare monitoring apparatus comprising:
- a motorized driver;
- a first pump coupled to the motorized driver, the first pump configured to produce airflow in a first direction;
- and
- a second pump coupled to the motorized driver, the second pump configured to produce airflow in a second direction, the airflow in the first direction being substantially opposite the airflow in the second direction.
1 more element
A method of operating a multifunctional healthcare monitoring apparatus having a first pump and a second pump, the method comprising:
- engaging a common drive coupling at the first pump, the first pump configured to provide substantially continuous pressure;
- receiving an indication to measure blood pressure;
- engaging the common drive coupling at the second pump, the second pump configured to provide pressure at predetermined intervals to a blood pressure cuff;
- determining if the blood pressure cuff is at or above a person's systolic pressure;
- if it is determined that the blood pressure cuff is at or above the person's systolic pressure, disengaging the common drive coupling from the second pump;
- deflating the blood pressure cuff;
- and
- determining a systolic pressure and a diastolic pressure based, at least in part, on the deflation of the blood pressure cuff.
5 more elements
A machine readable non-transitory medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, operatively enable a pneumatic control module to:
- engage a common drive coupling at a first pump, the first pump configured to provide substantially continuous pressure;
- receive an indication to measure blood pressure;
- engage the common drive coupling at a second pump, the second pump configured to provide pressure at predetermined intervals to a blood pressure cuff;
- determine if the blood pressure cuff is at or above a person's systolic pressure;
- if it is determined that the blood pressure cuff is at or above the person's systolic pressure, disengaging the common drive coupling from second pump;
- deflate the blood pressure cuff;
- and
- determine a systolic pressure and a diastolic pressure based, at least in part, on the deflation of the blood pressure cuff.
