Estimation Of A Physiological Parameter Using A Neural Network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining the oxygen saturation of blood of a patient comprising:
- estimating a physiologic parameter from an electronic signal;
calculating one or more signal quality metrics of the electronic signal;
inputting information into a neural network, wherein said input information includes one or more estimates of the physiologic parameter and at least one signal quality metric;
calculating with the neural network at least one output datum, wherein the output datum is representative of the oxygen saturation of the blood of the patient; and
receiving the output datum from the neural network.

Abstract
A neural network is used to combine one or more estimates of a physiologic parameter with one or more associated signal quality metrics, creating a more accurate estimate of said physiologic parameter, as well as a second estimate of the accuracy of said physiologic parameter estimate.
