Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to implantable medical devices (IMDs). In an exemplary embodiment, an IMD comprises a power source and a housing enclosing the power source. The housing comprises a first side and a second side extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, wherein the first side is opposite the second side and the first end is opposite the second end, and wherein a first distance between the first and second ends is greater than a second distance the first and second sides. The IMD further comprises a printed circuit board arranged on the first side of the base and conductively coupled to the power source. The IMD also comprises a non-conductive enclosure arranged over the printed circuit board and hermetically sealing the printed circuit board, the non-conductive enclosure comprising an outer surface. And, the IMD comprises first and second electrodes arranged on the outer surface of the non-conductive enclosure, wherein the first external electrode is coupled to the printed circuit board by a first trace and the second external electrode is coupled to the printed circuit board by a second trace.

A system, method and appliance provides sleep-related disorder data collection, assessment, and visual representation. The appliance may be configured to be worn during a sleep cycle of an individual and may include or be operatively connected to various sensors that collect physiological data of the individual during the sleep cycle. Aspects of the system are configured to correlate data obtained from various sensors/data sources during an individual's sleep cycle, determine relevant events associated with sleep-related disorders based on the obtained data, provide summaries and information about the determined relevant events, and generate and provide dynamic visualizations of the individual's anatomy corresponding to the determined relevant events. A dynamic visualization may include a 3D model of the individual's airway and mandibular anatomy that, when played back, morphs to represent dynamics of the individual's anatomy during the relevant event.

A kit for dispensing disposable stethoscope covers and other instrument covers is provided. The kit may include a cartridge and a dispenser for automatic touch-free dispensing of disposable stethoscope covers. The kit further includes a first spool having a roll of backing member with disposable stethoscope covers disposed thereon and a second spool for receiving the spent backing member after a disposable stethoscope cover has been removed, self-contained within the cartridge. The cartridge is inserted within the dispenser so that a user may insert a stethoscope head through a window of the dispenser to attach to a disposable stethoscope cover. Alternatively, the cartridge or cassette may be comprised of disposable instrument covers so that a user may insert the instrument near or through the window of the dispenser for application of the instrument cover directly to the instrument. The kit may further include a proximity sensor for detecting a user.

A method includes receiving, by an electronic device, sensor data during a spirometry test of a user, the sensor data comprising audio data of the user, image data of a face of the user, and distance data of a distance from the face of the user. The method also includes obtaining, by the electronic device, at least one measured parameter associated with the spirometry test that is determined using at least one of the audio data, the image data, or the distance data, wherein the at least one measured parameter is correlated with an amount of air volume exchange or an amount of exhalation force by the user during the spirometry test. The method further includes providing, by the electronic device, real time feedback during the spirometry test, the real time feedback based on the at least one measured parameter, the real time feedback indicating whether or not the user is performing the spirometry test correctly.

A method of monitoring respiration with an acoustic measurement device, the acoustic measurement device having a sound transducer, the sound transducer configured to measure sound associated with airflow through a mammalian trachea, the method includes correlating the measured sound into a measurement of tidal volume and generating at least one from the group consisting of an alert and an alarm if the measured tidal volume falls outside of a predetermined range.

A mobile device application prompts and conducts audio and/or video tests using a microphone on a smartphone, tablet or laptop in order to record and analyze a patient's speech, cough, breathing and other sounds in order to diagnose the patient with Covid 19, another ailment, or as having normal ranges not indicative of disease. The mobile device's tests and protocols use program instructions, AI processing and other automated tools to facilitate the speed and reliability of the testing.

A monitoring system a user activity sensor to determine patterns of activity based upon the user activity occurring over time.

A working fluid cassette for an intravascular heat exchange catheter includes a frame holding two closely spaced, square polymeric membranes in tension. Working fluid from the catheter is directed between the membranes. The cassette is closely received between two refrigerant cold plates to exchange heat with the working fluid, which is circulated back to the catheter.
