Breathing guidance apparatus for delivery rooms

摘要

A system to prompt a subject to consciously alter one or more physiological parameters during childbirth-related contractions includes an imaging subsystem, a contraction sensor, and various computer program modules. The computer program module are configured to determine a physiological parameter, contraction information, a target action rate, and cues based thereon. The physiological parameter may include a breathing rate. The target action rate may include a target breathing rate. The cues may include breathing cues.

1. A system configured to prompt a subject to consciously alter one or more physiological parameters during childbirth-related contractions, the system comprising:
an imaging subsystem configured to capture image information related to visual images of the subject during childbirth-related contractions; a contraction sensor configured to generate contraction signals conveying information related to contractions of the subject; a user interface; and one or more hardware processors configured by non-transitory machine-readable instructions to:
determine one or more current breathing parameters and one or more current cardiovascular parameters of the subject based on the captured image information;determine contraction information based on the generated contraction signals from the contraction sensor;obtain a target breathing rate and an actual breathing rate of the subject during the contractions;determine a target action rate based on a difference between the target and actual breathing rates during the contractions, the one or more current breathing parameters, the one or more current cardiovascular parameters, and the contraction information;determine cues for the subject based on the target action rate, wherein the cues prompt the subject to modulate one or more physiological parameters in coordination with the contractions of the subject; andcommunicate the cues to the subject via the user interface.
