PATIENT IN-THE-LOOP PARTICIPATORY CARE AND MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method of patient participatory care and monitoring, comprising:
- querying, instructing or prompting a patient to provide a response;
receiving a signal from a device monitoring, controlling or sensing a condition of the patient; and
analyzing the signal from the device to determine the patient'"'"'s response separate from the condition of the patient being monitored, controlled or sensed.

Abstract
Methods and systems for patient participatory care and monitoring are provided for applications including respiratory care, ECG monitoring, capnography, infusion pump alarm prevention/management, pressure sore prevention, incentive spirometry, consciousness monitoring during sedation, pain management and other care and monitoring modalities. A patient in-the-loop system includes an input interface for receiving data acquired from a monitoring, controlling or sensing device, a storage device for storing the data at a first location, and a processor for analyzing artifacts in the data and determining whether the patient provided a deliberate action with respect to the device as a response to a prompt or query. The processor can further initiate a variety of prompts and/or output queries stored in the storage device at a second location to the patient. The data derived from these patient-in-the-loop techniques are formatted to be received and interpreted by electronic medical record and electronic record keeping systems.

12. A method of patient participatory care and monitoring, comprising:
-
receiving a signal from a device monitoring or controlling a patient; and in response to detecting an initial alarm condition from the signal from the device, querying, instructing, or prompting the patient to perform a remedial action without active involvement from or in the absence of a healthcare worker. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A patient in-the-loop monitoring system comprising:
-
a memory device; and a processor for reading data received from a pulse oximeter probe via an I/O port, storing the data at a first location in the memory device, and analyzing the data stored at the first location to determine whether a patient deliberately manipulated artifacts in the data from the pulse oximeter probe. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method of patient participatory monitoring and care comprising:
-
outputting, via a speaker, at least one query or audio prompt to query, instruct or prompt a patient to provide a response; receiving a data from the patient during a time period for providing the response; and analyzing artifacts in the data to determine the patient'"'"'s response. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
