AUTOMATED DETECTION OF PATIENT AGE BY ECG

摘要

An automated age detection system employing a patient monitoring lead assembly and a patent monitoring device. In operation, the patient monitoring lead assembly conducts electrical activity of a heart of a patient to the patient monitoring device. In response thereto, the patient monitoring device classifying the patient as an adult patient or a pediatric patient as a function of electrocardiogram feature(s) derived from electrocardiogram measurement(s) of the electrical heart activity. The patient monitoring device may further estimate the age as a function of electrocardiogram feature(s). The classification facilitates an appropriate application of an adult analysis or a pediatric analysis of the electrical heart activity.

主权项

1. An automated age detection system, comprising:
a patient monitoring lead assembly and a patient monitoring device; wherein the patient monitoring lead assembly is operable in communication with the patient monitoring device to conduct electrical activity of a heart of a patient to the patient monitoring device; and wherein, responsive to the electrical activity of the heart of the patient, the patient monitoring device is operable to classify the patient as an adult patient or a pediatric patient as a function exclusively of at least one electrocardiogram feature derived from at least one electrocardiogram measurement of the electrical activity of the heart.
