Summary

The USPTO granted Royal Philips N.V. Patent US12588875B2 for a physiological parameter sensing system that combines physiological sensor signals with activity monitoring to determine when additional measurements are recommended. The system generates alerts with characteristics adapted to the user's current activity type and level to ensure alerts are perceived without causing annoyance. The patent includes 12 claims and was filed December 10, 2019.

What changed

Royal Philips N.V. has been granted US Patent 12588875B2 for a physiological parameter sensing system that integrates signals from physiological parameter sensors and activity monitors. The system analyzes the first physiological parameter signal to determine when additional sensing is recommended and generates activity-dependent alerts designed to be perceived without annoying the user. The patent covers claims related to A61B classifications including cardiovascular monitoring (5/0205, 5/02416, 5/02405), activity monitoring (5/1118, 5/1123), and alert generation systems (5/7405, 5/742, 5/7455, 5/746, 5/7475).

This patent grant represents intellectual property protection for Philips' adaptive alerting technology in physiological monitoring devices. Medical device manufacturers developing similar activity-responsive monitoring systems should review the patent claims to assess potential licensing needs or design-around considerations. No immediate compliance actions or deadlines are associated with this grant notice.

System and method for sensing physiological parameters

Grant US12588875B2 Kind: B2 Mar 31, 2026

Abstract

A physiological parameter sensing system receives signals from (on includes) a first physiological parameter sensor and an activity monitor. The first physiological parameter signal is used to determine when additional physiological parameter sensing is recommended and an alert is then generated. The alert has characteristics which depend on the type and/or level of activity currently being undertaken by the user. In this way, the alert can be selected so that it is perceived by the user but without being an annoyance.
