Utility
System and Method for Detecting Hot Flashes Based on Heart Rate Patterns
10 Jun 21
A method of detecting the occurrence of a hot flash in an individual including obtaining heart rate sequence data for the individual for a predetermined period of time, wherein the heart rate sequence data is based on heartbeat data of the individual that is detected by a sensor unit worn by the individual, providing the heart rate sequence data to a computational model component, wherein the computational model component is structured and configured to examine the heart rate sequence data over time to determine a probability that the individual is experiencing a hot flash based on monitoring the heart rate sequence data for a pattern wherein heart rate decreases below a baseline range and then increases above the baseline range, and analyzing the heart rate sequence data in the computational model component to determine the probability.

a Method of Assessing the Reliability of a Blood Pressure Measurement and an Appratus for Implementing the Same
10 Jun 21
There is provided a method of assessing the reliability of a measurement of blood pressure of a subject, the method in a control unit of an apparatus comprising obtaining a first measurement of at least one physiological characteristic of the subject that is indicative of the level of pain and/or stress of the subject, wherein the first measurement is made prior to a measurement of blood pressure being made; obtaining the measurement of blood pressure of the subject; obtaining a second measurement of the at least one physiological characteristic of the subject, wherein the second measurement is made after the measurement of blood pressure is made and prior to a subsequent measurement of blood pressure being made; and determining if the measurement of blood pressure is reliable based on the first measurement and the second measurement, wherein the measurement of blood pressure is determined to be reliable if the first measurement and the second measurement indicate a low level of pain and/or stress.
