SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PATIENT MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method of screening a patient, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of first SpO2 readings from a first sensor over a time period;
receiving a plurality of second SpO2 readings from a second sensor over the time period;
calculating an average first SpO2 value based on at least some of the plurality of first SpO2 readings;
calculating an average second SpO2 value based on at least some of the plurality of second SpO2 readings;
calculating a differential value based on at least some of the plurality of first SpO2 readings and at least some of the plurality of second SpO2 readings; and
determining a screen result based upon the average first SpO2 value, the average second SpO2 value, and the differential value.

Abstract
Systems and methods for patient monitoring that include receiving a set first of SpO2 readings from a first sensor over a time period, receiving a set of second SpO2 readings from a second sensor over the time period, calculating an average first SpO2 value based on some or all of the first SpO2 readings, calculating an average second SpO2 value based on some or all of the second SpO2 readings, calculating a differential value based some or all of the first SpO2 readings and some or all of the second SpO2 readings, and determining a screen result based upon the average first SpO2 value, the average second SpO2 value, and the differential value. The differential value may be, for example, an average differential value or an accumulation differential value.

8. A system for screening a patient, comprising:
-
a first sensor disposed at a first location, the first sensor configured to obtain a plurality of first SpO2 readings over a time period; a second sensor disposed at a second location, the second sensor configured to obtain a plurality of second SpO2 readings over the time period; a processor in operable communication with the first and second sensors, the processor configured to; receive the plurality of first SpO2 readings from the first sensor; receive the plurality of second SpO2 readings from the second sensor; calculate an average first SpO2 value based on at least some of the plurality of first SpO2 readings; calculate an average second SpO2 value based on at least some of the plurality of second SpO2 readings; calculate a plurality of differential values, each differential value calculated as a difference between one of the plurality of first SpO2 readings and a corresponding one of the plurality of second SpO2 readings; and calculate at least one of an average differential value and an accumulation differential value based on at least some of the plurality of differential values; and a display in operable communication with the processor, the display configured to; display a current first SpO2 reading; display the average first SpO2 value; display a current second SpO2 reading; display the average second SpO2 value; display a current differential value; and display the at least one of the average differential value and the accumulation differential value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
receive a plurality of first SpO2 readings from a first sensor over a time period; receive a plurality of second SpO2 readings from a second sensor over the time period; calculate an average first SpO2 value based on at least some of the plurality of first SpO2 readings; calculate an average second SpO2 value based on at least some of the plurality of second SpO2 readings; calculate a plurality of differential values, each differential value calculated as a difference between one of the plurality of first SpO2 readings and a corresponding one of the plurality of second SpO2 readings; calculate at least one of an average differential value and an accumulation differential value based on at least some of the plurality of differential values; and determine a screen result based upon the average first SpO2 value, the average second SpO2 value, and the at least one of the average differential value and the accumulation differential value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
