Abstract

A method is provided for acquiring and transmitting biometric data (e.g., vital signs) of a user, where the data is analyzed to determine whether the user is suffering from a viral infection, such as COVID-19. The method includes using a pulse oximeter to acquire at least pulse and blood oxygen saturation percentage, which is transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone. To ensure that the data is accurate, an accelerometer within the smartphone is used to measure movement of the smartphone and/or the user. Once accurate data is acquired, it is uploaded to the cloud (or host), where the data is used (alone or together with other vital signs) to determine whether the user is suffering from (or likely to suffer from) a viral infection, such as COVID-19. Depending on the specific requirements, the data, changes thereto, and/or the determination can be used to alert medical staff and take corresponding actions.

Description

Claims (20 )

What is claimed is: 1

. A system for detecting COVID-19 in a user, comprising:

at least one server in communication with a wide area network (WAN); and

at least one memory device for storing machine readable instructions, at least a first set of said machine readable instructions being provided to a mobile computing device via said at least one server and said WAN, said first set of said machine readable instructions being adapted to operate on said mobile computing device and perform the steps of:

receiving pulse and oxygen saturation level data from a pulse oximeter attached to said user periodically over a period of time, resulting in a plurality of sets of said pulse oximeter data;

receiving movement data during said period of time, said movement data being indicative of at least movement of said user with respect to at least one fixed location; and

identifying at least one of said plurality of sets of pulse oximeter data as being accurate when said movement data indicates that said movement of said user with respect to said fixed location is equal to or less than a pre-determined amount;

wherein a second set of said machine readable instructions are adapted to perform the steps of:

storing at least said accurate set of pulse oximeter data on said user and comparing it to previously stored pulse oximeter data from said user to determine a differential;

comparing said differential to at least one known value; and

using at least said comparison to help determine whether said user is currently suffering from COVID-19.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said movement data is generated using at least an accelerometer within said mobile computing device.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein said movement data is further indicative of at least movement of said mobile computing device with respect to said fixed location.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein said movement data is further generated using at least a touchscreen of said mobile computing device.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein said movement data is further indicative of at least movement of at least a portion of said user's hand with respect to said touch screen, said pulse oximeter being attached to a finger on said user's hand.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein said first set of machine readable instructions are further configured to perform the step of instructing said user to place their hand on a particular portion of said touch screen, thereby allowing said computing device to determine whether said portion of said user's hand is moving during said period of time.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein said first set of machine readable instructions are further configured to acquire temperature data of said user during said period of time, said temperature data being used in helping to determine whether said user is suffering from COVID-19.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein said first set of machine readable instructions are further configured to acquire respiratory rate data of said user during said period of time, said respiratory rate data being used in helping to determine whether said user is suffering from COVID-19.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein said second set of machine readable instructions are further configured to use said comparison to determine a likelihood that said user is suffering from COVID-19, wherein said likelihood is determined using artificial intelligence (AI).

10. The system of claim 1, wherein said second set of said machine readable instructions are provided to said mobile computing device via said at least one server and said WAN, allowing artificial intelligence (Al) to determine whether said user is currently suffering from COVID-19.

11

. A method for using at least a mobile computing device to detect coronavirus in a user, comprising the steps of:

receiving by said mobile computing device pulse and oxygen saturation level data from a pulse oximeter attached to said user periodically over a period of time, resulting in a plurality of sets of said pulse oximeter data;

receiving movement data during said period of time, said movement data being indicative of at least movement of said user with respect to at least one fixed location;

identifying at least one of said plurality of sets of pulse oximeter data as being accurate when said movement data indicates that said movement of said user with respect to said fixed location is equal to or less than a pre-determined amount;

storing at least said accurate set of pulse oximeter data on said user and comparing it to previously stored pulse oximeter data from said user to determine a differential;

comparing said differential to at least one known value; and

using at least said comparison to determine whether said user is suffering from coronavirus.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said movement data is generated using at least an accelerometer within said mobile computing device.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein said movement data is further indicative of at least movement of said mobile computing device with respect to said fixed location.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein said movement data is further generated using at least a touchscreen of said mobile computing device.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein said movement data is further indicative of at least movement of at least a portion of said user's hand with respect to said touch screen, said pulse oximeter being attached to a finger on said user's hand.

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of said mobile computing device acquiring respiratory rate data of said user during said period of time, said respiratory rate data being used in helping to determine whether said user is suffering from coronavirus.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein said movement data is further used to determine said user's respiratory rate.

18

. A method for using a mobile computing device to detect a viral infection or respiratory insufficiency in a user, comprising the steps of:

receiving by said mobile computing device data from a pulse oximeter attached to said user over a period of time;

receiving movement data during said period of time, said movement data being indicative of at least movement of said user;

identifying at least a portion of said data as accurate when said movement data indicates that said movement of said user is equal to or less than a pre-determined amount;

comparing at least said portion of said data to previously stored data from said user to determine a differential;

using said differential to determine a likelihood that said user is suffering from said viral infection or low respiratory or pulmonary efficiency.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein said movement data is generated using at least an accelerometer within said mobile computing device.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein said differential is used to determine a likelihood that said user is suffering from sleep apnea.
