Continuous patient monitoring
First Claim
1. A system for providing continuous monitoring of a patient, the system comprising:
- a first monitor device configured to measure one or more physiological attributes associated with the patient, the first monitor device being a contactless device; and
a second monitor device configured to measure one or more physiological attributes associated with the patient, the second monitor device including one or more sensors contacting the patient;
wherein, upon an alarm condition indicating an abnormality by the first monitor device, the second monitor device is configured to measure a physiological attribute and suppress the alarm condition when the second monitor device detects a non-alarm condition; and
wherein the second monitor device allows the alarm condition when the second monitor device detects an alarm condition.

9. A system for providing continuous monitoring of a patient, the system comprising:
-
a first monitor device configured to measure one or more physiological attributes associated with the patient, the first monitor device being a piezoelectric device that measures the physiological attributes without contact, and wherein the physiological attributes including heart rate, respiration rate, and patient movement; and a second monitor device configured to measure one or more physiological attributes associated with the patient, the second monitor device including one or more sensors contacting the patient; wherein, upon an alarm condition indicating an abnormality by the first monitor device, the second monitor device is configured to measure a physiological attribute and either; (i) suppress the alarm condition when the second monitor device detects a non-alarm condition;
or(ii) allow the alarm condition when the second monitor device detects an alarm condition; and wherein the second monitor device inflates a blood pressure cuff to a sub-measurement pressure to estimate movement of the patient and detects the non-alarm condition when movement of the patient is detected. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method for continuously monitoring a patient, the method comprising:
-
measuring a first physiological attribute using a first monitor device, the first monitor device being a contactless device; detecting an alarm condition indicating an abnormality by the first monitor device; measuring a second physiological attribute using a second monitor device, the second monitor device including one or more sensors contacting the patient, and the measuring including; inflating a blood pressure cuff; estimating movement of the patient based upon a pressure characteristic as measured by the blood pressure cuff, the pressure characteristic including a pressure increase or decrease indicative of movement; and determining a non-alarm condition when movement of the patient is detected; suppressing the alarm condition when the second monitor device detects the non-alarm condition; and transmitting the alarm condition when the second monitor device detects an alarm condition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
