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 based on a query library to provide a response by prompting performance of an act by the patient that results in deliberate introduction of an artifact into a signal or inaction by the patient that results in no-artifact or cessation of the patient-introduced artifact;
receiving the signal from a device monitoring, controlling, or sensing a condition of the patient; and
analyzing the signal from the device based on the presence, absence of a patient-introduced artifact, or cessation of the patient-introduced artifact and on a response library to determine the patient'"'"'s response.

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.

17. 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 based on a response library to determine whether the patient deliberately manipulated artifacts in the data from the pulse oximeter probe, wherein the data is the result of querying, instructing, or prompting the patient based on a query library to provide a response by prompting performance of an act by the patient that results in deliberate introduction of an artifact into a signal or inaction by the patient that results in no-artifact or cessation of the patient-introduced artifact. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory 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 based on a query library to provide a response by prompting performance of an act by the patient that results in deliberate introduction of an artifact into a signal or inaction by the patient that results in no-artifact or cessation of the patient-introduced artifact; receiving data from the patient during a time period for providing the response; performing a learning baseline to establish baseline measures indicative of no-artifact and deliberate artifact carried out by the patient; performing a quality control session verifying that a device is appropriate to allow reliable discrimination between response and no response; and analyzing artifacts in the data based on a response library to determine the patient'"'"'s response. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
