SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING PAIN MANAGEMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring pain management, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, a first effort measurement;
generating, using a processor, a PPG waveform based at least in part on the PPG signal;
analyzing, using the processor, one or more features within the PPG signal;
determining, using the processor, a second effort measurement based at least in part on the one or more analyzed features;
comparing, using the processor, the second effort measurement and at least the first effort measurement; and
if the second effort measurement differs from the first effort measurement by a selected value, generating a signal.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring pain management using measurements of physiological parameters based on a PPG signal. A reference physiological parameter may be compared against a later measurement to identify a change in condition that may indicate a pain management problem.

8. A method for monitoring pain management, comprising:
-
analyzing, using a processor, one or more features of a PPG signal; determining, using the processor, a first effort measurement based at least in part on the one or more analyzed features of the PPG signal; receiving information at the processor indicating that pain management or sedation has been administered to a patient; determining, using the processor, a second effort measurement based at least in part on the PPG signal at a time after the pain management or sedation has been administered to a patient; and determining, using the processor, an effectiveness of the pain management or sedation based at least in part on a comparison of the first effort measurement and the second effort measurement. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A system for monitoring pain management, comprising:
-
a sensor having at least one emitter and at least one detector configured to detect a PPG signal, the sensor coupled to a processor and control circuitry configured to; receive a first effort measurement; analyze one or more features within the PPG signal; determine a second effort measurement based at least in part on the one or more analyzed features of the PPG signal; compare the second effort measurement and at least the first effort measurement; and if the second effort measurement differs from the first effort measurement by a selected value, generate a signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
