Abstract

Claims (17)

1. A method of performing a cardiac stress test via a bed system and a mobile device, the method comprising:

sensing first biometric data of a user laying on a mattress of the bed system via a bed-based sensor in communication with the bed system without requiring the user to wear the bed-based sensor;

instructing, via the mobile device, the user to perform an exercise activity;

instructing, via the mobile device, the user to return to and lay on the mattress after performing the exercise activity;

after instructing the user to return to and lay on the mattress, sensing, via the bed-based sensor, second biometric data of the user;

generating a cardiac stress test output that characterizes a condition of a heart of the user based on a difference between the first biometric data and the second biometric data; and

displaying the cardiac stress test output on the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mattress comprises an inflatable air chamber, wherein the bed-based sensor is in fluid communication with the inflatable air chamber to sense pressure signals of the user laying on the mattress.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first biometric data is descriptive of cardiopulmonary characteristics of the user, and is based on changes in air pressure of the inflatable air chamber caused by cardiopulmonary rhythms of the user laying on the mattress.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing information on the mobile device about the condition of the heart characterized by the cardiac stress test output.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information about the heart condition comprises diagnosis information of a coronary artery disease.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information about the heart condition comprises assessment information about patient prognosis after a myocardial infarction event.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the user, an identity of a medical professional; and

providing at least a portion of the cardiac stress test output to the medical professional.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the exercise activity comprises climbing or descending stairs.
