A system and method that permits a user to utilize a means of capturing and managing one or more voice files containing speech utterances (“Voice Utterances”) and/or the corresponding transcript (“Transcript”) containing protected health information (PHI) on a mobile device.

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesireable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduely altered by the malodor control technology.

A method and arrangement for determining a quality rating data (QRD) of a medical data acquisition system (MDAS). The method and arrangement comprise of receiving first data, which includes utilization errors occurred during performing a data acquisition procedure (DAP), by a data acquisition component of the MDAS, on a patient to acquire medical data. The method and arrangement further comprise generating second data as a function of the first data. The second data is indicative of categories of the utilization errors, wherein at least one utilization error is assigned to a corresponding category based on a predetermined parameter. The method and arrangement further comprise determining the QRD as a function of a total number of MDAS utilizations, a predetermined coefficient for the corresponding error category and a number of utilization errors in the corresponding error category.

A mechanical ventilator (10) is connected with a ventilated patient (12) to provide ventilation in accordance with ventilator settings of the mechanical ventilator. Physiological values (variables) are acquired for the ventilated patient using physiological sensors (32). A ventilated patient cardiopulmonary (CP) model (40) is fitted to the acquired physiological variables values to generate a fitted ventilated patient CP model by fine-tuning its parameters (50). Updated ventilator settings are determined by adjusting model ventilator settings of the fitted ventilated patient CP model to minimize a cost function (60). The updated ventilator settings may be displayed on a display component (22) as recommended ventilator settings for the ventilated patient, or the ventilator settings of the mechanical ventilator may be automatically changed to the updated ventilator settings so as to automatically control the mechanical ventilator.

An emergency medical device (20) (e.g., an external defibrillator/monitor) employing an emergency medical subsystem (21) for executing an emergency medical procedure (e.g., a monitoring subsystem (21) and a therapy subsystem (21)), and an emergency medical controller (23) for controlling an activation of the emergency medical subsystem (21). The subsystem (21) includes one or more operational components (22). In operation, the controller (23) conditionally actuates a device readiness indicator (24) (e.g., auditory or visual) indicative of an operational readiness of the operational component(s) (22), and conditionally actuates a failure warning indicator (25) (e.g., auditory or visual) indicative of a pending failure of the operational readiness of the operational component(s) (22). The failure warning indicator (25) may be actuated based on a predictive failure analysis of a premature degradation of the operational component(s) (22), a repeated occurrence of error conditions of the operational component(s) (22) (particularly recoverable error conditions), and a shortened reliable life of the operational component(s) (22).

Various implementations of methods and systems for computing a patient-specific medical report associated with a diagnosis and generating supporting documentation for the report are described in this disclosure. In some implementations, the medical documentation system can assist doctors in providing care to hospitalized patients. In some implementations, the medical documentation system can generate a patient-specific appeal letter in response to a medical claim denial. Results of patient data input into evidence-based models can be presented to a user thorough a graphical user interface (GUI), which can also allow the user to interact with the medical documentation system. In some implementations, the medical documentation system can generate an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to analyze patient data.

A telemedical interface pressure monitoring system is provided for intermittent or continuous monitoring of the pressure that occurs at the interface between the body and a support surface such as with a compression device, cast or resting surface. The system simultaneously measures interface pressure at multiple compression positions as well as provide real-time measurement data to both patients and clinicians. The system uses an array of one or more sensors and a data collection and transmission node with a microprocessor and transmitter/receiver that transmits the sensor data to a receiver such as a mobile device or cloud or clinic server for remote display, evaluation and automatic recording. Remote receivers can also control compression devices associated with the node.

Methods for programming an implantable drug delivery device using a mobile computing device that include establishing a connection with a telemetry unit configured for wireless communication with the implantable drug delivery device, displaying user-selectable drug delivery settings for the implantable drug delivery device, receiving at least one selection of a drug delivery setting, translating the received selection into a signal format readable by the telemetry unit, and sending the translated signal to the telemetry unit to program the implantable drug delivery device. Further embodiments include telemetry units for communication with an implantable drug delivery device, and patient programmers and a method for patient modification to a programmed drug delivery regimen.

A system is configured for accessing, editing, managing and/or observing medical related data. The system includes one or more computing devices that interact with one or more medical devices with respect to medical data. The data can be transmitted over a communication network, which can be coupled to or include the Internet or any other computer network.

A current system allows data-driven hypothesis generation to identify therapeutic candidates for a disease phenotype treatment by identifying drugs and clinical indications associated with lower occurrences of disease-associated phenotype(s) by a drug/drug class. A current system may include a pharmaceutical hierarchical ontology; a phenotype hierarchical ontology; a record database comprising clinical event records; a database mining engine; and a mapping engine. The database mining engine may iteratively progress through a portion of the pharmacological hierarchical ontology and phenotype hierarchical ontology to iteratively select pairs of cohort entries from each ontology; and for each pair of cohort entries, query the clinical record database for matching records. The mapping engine may map each pair of cohort entries into a matrix comprising a drug-event cell for each pair and apply a value thereto representing the number of database records matching items returned by the database mining engine for the corresponding cohort entries.
