Sensor-Based Adaptive Methods for Wearable Devices
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting at least one alarm detection parameter associated with heart arrhythmia in patients, the method comprising the steps ofperiodically receiving patient heart rate data;
- converting the periodically received patient heart rate data to heart rate variability (HRV) data; and
adjusting the at least one alarm detection parameter based on the heart rate variability (HRV) data.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved sensor-based patient monitoring and tracking. In accordance with one aspect, a method is provided for adjusting a vital sign alarm threshold of a vital status sensor as a function of a patient'"'"'s GPS data, which may comprise: altitude data, velocity data, and position data. In accordance with another aspect, a method is provided for adjusting one or more alarm detection parameters based in part on a patient'"'"'s calculated heart rate variability (HRV) data. According to yet another aspect, an electronic triage tag is configured to include a colored card insertion region for inserting a colored card for preventing the device from being inadvertently activated, an LCD screen and a series of LEDs for displaying the triage status of a patient (red, yellow, green, black).

9. A method for adjusting at least one alarm threshold associated with heart arrhythmia in patients, the method comprising the steps of:
-
periodically receiving GPS data associated with a given patient; determining that said received GPS data is significantly changed from previously received GPS data; and adjusting said at least one alarm threshold associated with the detection of heart arrhythmia, based on the received GPS data, upon satisfying said determining step. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
