A system and method for providing a context-based light and/or auditory stimulus experience to a user that includes administering dosages of light is disclosed. Environmental contextual data and/or personal (e.g., biometric and/or non-biometric) contextual data of a subject are obtained. Specific dosages of light are delivered to a subject based on the obtained environmental and/or personal contextual data. The dosages may be defined according to various parameters, including light wavelength, pulse frequency, intensity, area within the subject's field of vision, duration, pulse waveform shape, or a combination thereof. Auditory stimulus may also be provided, in synchronization with the administered dosages of light, and may be based on the obtained environmental and/or personal contextual data.

An injection device includes a container receiving receptacle configured for receiving a container for containing a medicinal product to be administered; a dispensing mechanism for causing the product in the container to be injected; and a RFID system associated with the container receiving receptacle capable of communicating bidirectionally with a RFID tag attached to the container and enabling the administration of the product only under given conditions. The RFID tag can be therefore read and written by the RFID system. The RFID system further includes an antenna arranged at least partially covering the RFID tag. The dispensing mechanism is triggered by a contact sensor when the device is pressed onto the animal's skin. The needle-free injection device is capable of communicating with external devices (PC, laptops, tablets, smartphones and the like).

A device and method for concurrently clamping a target location on a patient and providing an access guide for a needle and/or insertion equipment to the target location, wherein the device has a clasp body configured to provide a gripping tension to the target location and includes one or more apertures and corresponding one or more pathways for guiding the needle and/or insertion equipment to the gripped target location.

A method for controlling operation of an inhalation device, comprising configuring an inhalation device to store at least one substance; configuring the inhalation device to dispense the at least one substance in a predetermined manner; configuring the inhalation device to gather usage information about the dispensing of the at least one substance, transmit the gathered usage information to a location or device remote from the inhalation device, and receive operational commands from a location or device remote from the inhalation device, wherein the operational commands are provided by a controller that is in electrical or digital communication with the inhalation device, wherein the controller is configured to both receive usage information from the inhalation device and transmit operational commands back to the inhalation device; and wherein the controller is in electrical or digital communication with a remote server that is configured to receive queries from the controller and transmit information relevant to the queries back to the controller.

A system includes: a robot comprising an arm, the arm comprising a flange, the flange coupled to an end of the arm, the arm configured to move the flange along a degree of freedom; a mask coupled to the flange, the mask configured to deliver gas to a user, wherein the arm further comprises a kinematic mount, the kinematic mount usable to do one or more of orient and locate the mask with respect to the flange; a ventilator coupled to the mask, the ventilator configured to deliver the gas to the mask; a gas tube coupled to both the mask and the ventilator, the gas tube configured to carry gas between the ventilator and the mask; and a tracking system, the tracking system configured to capture image data of one or more of the mask and a face of the user.

A method includes: obtaining a desired value for a parameter relevant to the automatic delivery of breathable gas; saving, by the system, the desired parameter value; finding, by the system, an actual value of the parameter; querying, by the system, whether the actual parameter value agrees with the desired parameter value; determining, by the system, that the actual parameter value does not agree with the desired parameter value; adjusting, by the system, a system setting so as to attain the desired parameter value; querying, by the system, whether the actual revised parameter value agrees with the desired parameter value; and repeating, by the system, the steps of determining, adjusting, and querying whether the actual revised parameter value agrees with the desired parameter value until the actual revised parameter value agrees with the desired parameter value.

A fluid warming device has a heat exchange body having an input port and an output port and conducts fluid from the input port to the output port. The fluid warming device has a heater assembly configured to transfer heat to the heat exchange body. The fluid warming device may also have a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the heater assembly, and a power sensor for measuring a power to the heater assembly. The fluid warming device also has a controller connected to the temperature sensor and the power sensor. The controller calculates a fluid flow rate and a total volume of fluid delivered through the heat exchange body based on the temperature and the power.

A system for operating an inhalation device including an inhalation device that has been configured to store at least one substance and dispense the substance in a predetermined manner, wherein the inhalation device is configured to gather usage information from the inhalation device and transmit the gathered usage information to a location remote from the inhalation device and to receive operational commands from a location remote from the inhalation device; a controller in communication with the inhalation device, wherein the controller is configured to receive usage information from the inhalation device and to transmit operational commands to the inhalation device; and a remote server in communication with the controller, wherein the remote server is configured to receive queries from the controller, and transmit information relevant to the queries back to the controller.

A method of controlled delivery of breathing gases is described, during a first mode: the breathing gas inflow is predominantly through the first naris during inhalation; and the gas outflow is predominantly through the second naris during exhalation; and during a second mode that occurs after the first mode the breathing gas inflow is predominantly through the second naris during inhalation and the gas outflow is predominantly through the first naris during exhalation. The first mode and second modes are repeated. Also described is a system and apparatus implementing the method.
