In one embodiment of the disclosure, a method of monitoring a fetus in utero is disclosed that includes implanting a medical device into a patient's uterus, collecting fetal data using the medical device, and transmitting, e.g., wirelessly, the fetal data from the medical device to a receiver. In another embodiment, a medical monitoring system is disclosed that includes a first device that is implantable into a patient's uterus for collecting fetal data, and a second device that is configured and dimensioned for connection with the first device such that the fetal data is wirelessly communicable from the first device to the second device.

A system includes a sensor configured to sense first and second physiological signals produced by a source; and a processing device communicatively coupled to the sensor. The processing device is configured to: receive the first and second physiological signals; determine a first value of a signal characteristic; determine a second value of the signal characteristic; access a scaling map having scaling vectors, and each scaling vector having at least one signal characteristic correction value; determine a scaled first value and a scaled second value based on a first scaling vector and a second scaling vector, respectively; and predict a physiological event based on the scaled first value of the signal characteristic and the scaled second value of the signal characteristic.

In certain embodiments, a method for communicating with a fetus may include providing, on an electronic device, a user interface configured to facilitate wireless communication of signals between the electronic device and at least one implanted device located in proximity to the fetus; and responsive to a user selecting a communication selection element, causing the wireless communication of signals inclusive of content data between the electronic device and implanted device.

A user-wearable sensor device may be configured to be directly or indirectly secured to a user or to an article worn by the user. The user-wearable sensor device may include at least one sensor configured to collect sensor data associated with an orientation of the user, a display unit including at least one LED or other visual indicator, a battery configured to provide power to at least the display unit, and a control system. The control system may be configured to determine the orientation of the user based on sensor data collected by the at least one sensor, maintain the display unit in a deactivated state in the absence of a defined activation input, detect a defined activation input, activate the deactivated display unit in response to detecting the defined activation input, and control the activated display unit based on the determined orientation of the user.

A method for assessment and/or monitoring a person's cardiovascular state comprises: using a sound and vibration transducer to acquire a vascular sound signal in order to detect a vascular sound from a cervical, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, or lower limb region of the person; filtering the vascular sound signal to isolate the vascular sound, said filtering using a filter which attenuates frequencies below a lower cut-off frequency in a range of 100-300 Hz; and analyzing the filtered sound signal in order to determine whether an indication of a dicrotic notch in the vascular sound exceeds a set threshold.

Computer-aided telemedical evaluation is described. A computing environment can receive a video comprising frames of a subject in motion. The computing environment can identify one or more anatomical features of the subject and determine one or more gait cycle patterns for the anatomical features by tracking motion of the anatomical features over a number of frames of the video. The computing environment can also examine the gait cycle patterns to identify symmetry, asymmetry, and other characteristics in the gait cycle patterns with respect to each other, the anatomical features of the subject, and/or inanimate features of the surroundings. Based on the examination, the computing environment can also provide an evaluation of the subject in the video. The evaluation can include the identification of one or more limbs associated with lameness in the subject. Care can then be administered to the subject, in part, based on the evaluation.

An ambulatory medical device is provided. The ambulatory medical device includes at least one sensor configured to acquire data descriptive of a patient, a memory, a user interface, and at least one processor coupled with the memory, the at least one sensor, and the user interface. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether the ambulatory medical device is within a predefined range of a reference location and to initiate location-specific processing in response to determining that the ambulatory medical device is within the predefined range. The location-specific processing includes at least one of issuing a notification and adapting the user interface.

The present invention provides a heart murmur detection device. The heart murmur detection device includes: an ECG signal detection unit for detecting an ECG signal from a heart of a user; a heart beat detection unit for detecting the frequency of the ECG signal; a plurality of sound receiving units for receiving a plurality of sound signals from the heart of the user; a signal transforming unit for transforming the sound signals into a plurality of electric phonic signals, and for retrieving the electric phonic signals on the basis of the ECG signal; and a signal processing unit for determining a heart murmur generating position. Moreover, the present invention further provides a heart murmur detection method.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods of dispensing one or more medicaments to a subject. The systems and methods utilize at least one flexible compression garment having one or more medicament dispensers therein.
