Problems solved by technology

These pitfalls include requiring repositioning of the patient proximal to the computer, which may be difficult or poor advice for some neonatal patients
Alternatively, the computing device can be brought close to the patient; however, this requires introducing a bulky, wheeled device into a potentially crowded and quiet environment

Embodiment Construction

[0032] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to a handheld device for detecting and measuring oral and facial movements including oral pressure and one or more compression, deformation, displacement, or deflection of a nipple coupled to the device. The compression, deformation, displacement or deflection of the nipple refers to the change in the shape of the nipple caused by the patient relative to the initial state of the nipple. In one embodiment, the device is configured to convert oral pressure and compression into electrical signals, digitize the electrical signals, and use a software application executed on the processor in the device to perform analysis and processing of the digitized signals to extract information on the patient Significant physiological artifacts in terms of oral feeding ability. The device automates and simplifies the assessment of the patient's readiness for oral feeding by presenting graphical and numerical scores of tissue and effort for non-nutr...

Abstract

The cordless handheld device detects and analyzes orofacial activity based on the associated compression or deflection of the teat and oral pressure. The device is capable of receiving and analyzing data that can be used to train the baby to eat.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This application claims the priority rights of the U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 754,808 filed on January 21, 2013 and entitled "Handheld Cordless Non-Nutritive Suck Assessment Device", and the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. [0003] Federally sponsored research or development [0004] N / A Technical field [0005] The system and method generally involve a cordless handheld device that detects and analyzes oral and facial movements based on oral pressure and the compression or deflection of the related nipple. The device can receive and analyze data that can be used to train babies to eat. Background technique [0006] Newborns born prematurely and / or under certain disease conditions may have impaired oral feeding ability. Attempting to feed a newborn with impaired ability orally may result in fluid inhalation, thereby physically harming the newborn. In the neonatal clinical community, the ...
