System and Method for Monitoring Respiratory Rate Measurements
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260090772A1 by Masimo Corporation inventors Ammar Al-Ali, Bilal Muhsin, and Michael O'Reilly for a system and method using multiple physiological parameter inputs to determine multiparameter confidence in respiratory rate measurements from acoustic sensors combined with non-acoustic sensor inputs. The application covers patient monitoring systems that output confidence indications to assist clinicians in treatment decisions.
What changed
This patent application discloses systems and methods for patient monitoring that programmatically determine multiparameter confidence in respiratory rate measurements obtained from acoustic sensors based on inputs from other non-acoustic sensors or monitors. The system outputs a multiparameter confidence indication to assist clinicians in determining patient treatment. CPC classifications span A61B medical measuring devices and G16H health informatics.\n\nThis publication represents a patent application filing and does not impose immediate compliance obligations on medical device manufacturers. Companies developing respiratory rate monitoring systems may wish to review the claimed methods to assess potential patent landscape implications for their own products. No regulatory deadlines or penalties are associated with this document.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING RESPIRATORY RATE MEASUREMENTS

Abstract
This disclosure describes, among other features, systems and methods for using multiple physiological parameter inputs to determine multiparameter confidence in respiratory rate measurements. For example, a patient monitoring system can programmatically determine multiparameter confidence in respiratory rate measurements obtained from an acoustic sensor based at least partly on inputs obtained from other non-acoustic sensors or monitors. The patient monitoring system can output a multiparameter confidence indication reflective of the programmatically-determined multiparameter confidence. The multiparameter confidence indication can assist a clinician in determining whether or how to treat a patient based on the patient's respiratory rate.
