What changed

The USPTO granted Patent US12588816B2 to Loewenstein Medical Technology S.A. (inventor: Matthias Schwaibold) for a comprehensive respiratory telemonitoring system. The system includes a respirator with integrated sensors (measuring pressure, flow, and/or volume of supplied/exhaled gases), a preparation unit, computation unit, recognition unit, storage unit, and communication unit. An input unit allows users to provide health state information, and data is transmitted automatically at programmed intervals to a remote telemonitoring unit.

This patent grant grants exclusive intellectual property rights to the assignee for the claimed telemonitoring technology in the United States. Competitors developing similar respiratory monitoring systems should review this patent to assess freedom-to-operate considerations. The patent does not impose regulatory compliance obligations but establishes proprietary boundaries for respiratory telemonitoring innovations.

Abstract

A system for respiration comprises a respirator, input unit, and telemonitoring unit. The respirator comprises a sensor unit which comprises sensors whose measured values permit an ascertainment of pressure and/or flow and/or volume of supplied and/or exhaled gases, a preparation unit which prepares acquired measured values, a computation unit which determines signals and/or characteristic variables based on the measured values, a recognition unit which uses the values for further analysis, a storage unit which stores these values, and a communication unit. The input unit is configured to provide values and items of information of the user input by a user via the input unit on his health state to the system. The communication unit transmits the values automatically according to one or more permanently programmed and/or freely input time intervals to the telemonitoring unit, which is configured to receive, store, analyze, and/or judge the transmitted values and/or items of information of the respirator and the input unit.
