According to one embodiment, a system includes a medical device configured to provide a function to a user, communicate via a wireless communication channel with one or more other devices, and send a signal to shift a medical device application from a locked state to an unlocked state. The system also includes a computing device having wireless communication channels and a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the computing device to communicate with the medical device, execute the medical device application, and shift from the locked state to the unlocked state in response to receiving the signal from the medical device. Core functionality of the medical device application is disabled when the medical device application is in the locked state, and some functionality applicable to the medical device is enabled when the medical device application is in the unlocked state.

An apparatus and a method for providing information are provided. The apparatus includes an interfacing unit configured to receive biometric information, which is measured by an external measuring device, corresponding to a health condition of a body part of a user, from the external measuring device; and a processor configured to determine a visual metaphor representation for characterizing a degree of the health condition based on mapping information between components of the visual metaphor representation and types of the received biometric information, and transform the received biometric information into the determined visual metaphor representation, where the interfacing unit is configured to transmit the transformed visual metaphor representation to an external displaying device.

A method comprising: establishing a wireless connection between a first medical device and a second medical device, comprising: receiving, by the first medical device, via a short-range wireless technology protocol, connection information related to the second medical device; and establishing, by the first medical device, a wireless connection with the second medical device based on the connection information.

A composition-of-matter comprising a crystallized form of a large ribosomal (50S) subunit of a pathogenic bacterium, and the atomic coordinates of the three-dimensional structure thereof are provided herein, as well as methods for crystallizing the same, and using the atomic coordinates of the same to design de novo ligands with high specificity thereto.

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for processing human body characteristic data. The method includes: receiving a set of human body characteristic information transmitted by a terminal; and according to requirements of an application to be run, extracting, from the set of human body characteristic information, human body characteristic data corresponding to the application to be run, and performing data reconstruction process on the extracted human body characteristic data.

A mobile device, methods and systems provide the invention mobile Personal Health Records (PHR) management platform solution. The platform enables secure PHR data management, measuring user's medical parameters, managing PHR secured depository containing user's health data on the user's invention combined phone & add-on sleeve device, while blocking none legitimate users access to the invention devices secured storage content. The invention device user's authentication is based on the combined weighted fusion of at least two different human biological sensors within the device and their weighted output analysis. The multi-sensors ensure bio-authentication secured memory entry only for the legitimate device user. In case of authentication success it activates various types of applications on the user PHR data depository content stored in device. The system supports the user's PHR remote health management, remotely monitoring the user's measured medical parameters, updating & managing user's health medical history depository in the user's electronic sleeve.

A method to securely transfer data to aid in a medical procedure or to a data management system to be accessed in a medical care facility is provided that includes a set of data from a data storage system being downloaded via a network to a visible light communication (VLC) enabled device. The set of data from the VLC enabled device is then transferred to a VLC enabled device located in an operating room (OR) via point to point VLC or uploaded to a data management system. The transferred set of data is then used to aid in a medical procedure or be accessed by a medical care facility. Software executables are similarly transferred and run in an OR context.
