Application: Sensor alignment for a non-contact patient monitoring system (Patent ID: US20240212200A1)
The technology disclosed in this patent by Medtronic Plc involves a method for determining sensor alignment relative to a patient's respiratory region. This method includes detecting sensor data, generating an aggregate alignment metric, determining misalignment conditions, classifying misalignment characteristics, and generating instructions for misalignment notifications based on the classified characteristics. The aggregate alignment metric can be based on distances or angles between the sensor and the respiratory region, and corrective actions can be provided based on the misalignment classification.
Furthermore, the method also involves determining sensed qualities of the respiratory region based on sensor data, such as captured images or distances, and evaluating whether these qualities meet misalignment conditions. Instructions for misalignment notifications are then generated based on this evaluation. The sensed qualities can include respiratory performance measures, size, shape, or fill ratio of images representing wearable masks. This technology aims to provide accurate and timely notifications regarding sensor misalignment relative to a patient's respiratory region, allowing for corrective actions to be taken promptly to ensure proper alignment and functionality.
