Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus and method for receiving biomedical data of a patient. Biomedical data of the patient can be wirelessly received using a wireless sensor base station including a transceiver to receive the biomedical data from a wireless sleep sensor. A demultiplexer of the wireless sensor base station can separate respiration information from the biomedical data. Examples include providing the biomedical data to a polysomnograph (PSG) machine or a sleep therapy device using an output of the wireless sensor base station.

Claims (34)

1 . An apparatus for receiving biomedical data from a patient, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive biomedical data from a wireless sleep sensor;

a demultiplexer coupled to the transceiver, the demultiplexer configured to separate respiration information from the received biomedical data; and

an output coupled to the demultiplexer, the output configured to provide the respiration information to a polysomnograph machine or a sleep therapy device.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive respiration airflow information from a wireless respiration sleep sensor.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the demultiplexer is configured to separate respiration airflow information from the received biomedical data.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the respiration airflow information includes respiration temperature and pressure information of inspiration airflow and expiration airflow of the patient; and

wherein the multiplexer is configured to maintain a phase relationship of the respiratory temperature and pressure information.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive chest respiratory effort information from a wireless chest respiratory effort belt.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the demultiplexer is configured to separate chest respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive abdominal respiratory effort information from a wireless abdominal respiratory effort belt.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the demultiplexer is configured to separate abdominal respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive respiration airflow information from a wireless respiration sleep sensor, chest respiratory effort information from a wireless chest respiratory effort belt, and abdominal respiratory effort information from a wireless abdominal respiratory effort belt.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the demultiplexer is configured to separate respiration airflow information, chest respiratory effort information, and abdominal respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data.

11 . A method for receiving biomedical data from a patient, the method comprising:

receiving biomedical data from a wireless sleep sensor at a transceiver;

separating respiration information from the received biomedical data using a demultiplexer; and

providing the respiration information to a polysomnograph (PSG) machine or a sleep therapy device.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the biomedical data includes receiving respiration airflow information from a wireless respiration sensor.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the separating includes separating respiration airflow information from the biomedical data.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the respiration airflow information includes respiration temperature and pressure information of inspiration airflow and expiration airflow of the patient; and

wherein the separating includes maintaining a phase relationship of the respiration temperature and pressure information.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the biomedical data includes receiving chest respiratory effort information from a wireless chest respiratory effort belt.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the separating includes separating chest respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data using a demultiplexer.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the biomedical data includes receiving abdominal respiratory effort information from a wireless abdominal respiratory effort belt.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the separating includes separating abdominal respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data using a demultiplexer.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving includes:

receiving respiration airflow information from a wireless respiration sleep sensor;

receiving chest respiratory effort information from a wireless chest respiratory effort belt; and

receiving abdominal respiratory effort information from a wireless abdominal respiratory effort belt.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the separating includes:

separating respiration airflow information from the received biomedical data;

separating chest respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data; and

separating abdominal respiratory effort information from the received biomedical data.
