First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of reducing false alarms or false negatives associated with vital-sign monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more vital-sign readings of a patient;
receiving one or more acceleration readings from an accelerometer attached to the patient;
determining at least one of motion and position of the patient based at least in part on the one or more acceleration readings; and
modifying an alarm condition determination procedure if at least one of the motion and the position satisfies a predefined condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods of reducing false alarms associated with vital-sign monitoring are disclosed. One or more vital-sign readings of a patient are received. One or more acceleration readings from an accelerometer attached to the patient are received. At least one of motion and position of the patient are determined based at least in part on the one or more acceleration readings. An alarm condition determination procedure is modified if at least one of the motion and the position satisfies a predefined condition.

12. A vital sign monitoring system, comprising:
-
a vital-sign monitor configured to monitor one or more vital signs of a patient; a surveillance server configured to gather data relating to the one or more vital signs of the patient from the vital-sign monitor; an accelerometer attached to the patient; and a processor in data communication with the vital-sign monitor and the accelerometer, the processor configured to; receive one or more vital-sign readings of the patient, receive one or more acceleration readings from the accelerometer, determine at least one of motion and position of the patient based at least in part on the one or more acceleration readings, and modify an alarm condition determination procedure if at least one of the motion and the position satisfies a predefined condition. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
