Patent Images
1. A radiation stress, non-invasive vital sign monitoring method comprising:
- providing one or more discretized sensor arrays, engaging the one or more discretized sensor arrays, measuring and collecting discretized acoustic, electromechanical or other physiological signals with the discretized sensing array, transmitting discretized signals to a receiving and computing device, producing time series data from various discretized sensor array signals, calculating energy spectrum from the time series data, determining variance of each discretized sensor array, calculating a value for vital signs of a patient.

Abstract
The invention determines the energy dispersion via acoustic, electromechanical or other related physiological signals collected from a patient that lies down or otherwise engages a discritized sensing array. Signals are monitored over a range of frequencies and collected in the time domain or frequency domain. A computing machine determines the energy from the signal measured over various elements of the array and calculates the momentum flux. Blood pressure is determined directly from the momentum flux calculation.
