1. A method comprising:
- receiving a signal;
transforming the signal using at least a wavelet transform;
generating a scalogram based at least in part on the transformed signal;
identifying a pulse band in the scalogram;
identifying a marker region in the scalogram, wherein the marker region is adjacent the pulse band;
identifying a characteristic of the marker region;
determining, based at least in part on the characteristic of the marker region, that a low perfusion condition exists; and
triggering an event.

Abstract
In some embodiments, systems and methods for identifying a low perfusion condition are provided by transforming a signal using a wavelet transform to generate a scalogram. A pulse band and adjacent marker regions in the scalogram are identified. Characteristics of the marker regions are used to detect the existence of a lower perfusion condition. If such a condition is detected, an event may be triggered, such as an alert or notification.
