The invention provides a method for searching a database of ECG data. The method includes, obtaining a reference set of ECG data, wherein the reference set of ECG data comprises ECG data for a plurality of subjects comprising, for each of said subjects, data values for a plurality of characteristic ECG features, and grouping the reference set of ECG data into a plurality of subsets of ECG data, wherein each of the plurality of subsets of ECG data is associated with one of a plurality of characteristic ECG features. A search feature extraction algorithm is applied to the reference set of ECG data to extract at least one characteristic ECG feature as a search feature wherein a search feature is a characteristic ECG feature which enables ECG data of interest to be identified within the database of ECG data and a search criterion is generated based on the search feature. The database is then searched using the search criterion to obtain ECG data of interest.

Medical software tools platforms utilize a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist surgeons or surgical team in performing various procedures. In particular, an endoscopic camera may register the momentary rise in the optical signature reflected from a tissue surface and in turn transmit it to a medical image processing system which can also receive patient heart rate data and display relevant anomalies. Changes in various spectral components and the speed at which they change in relation to a source of stimulus (heartbeat, breathing, light source modulation, etc.) may indicate the arrival of blood, contrast agents or oxygen absorption. Combinations of these may indicate various states of differing disease or margins of tumors, and so forth. Also, changes in temperatures, physical dimensions, pressures, photoacoustic pressures and the rate of change may indicate tissue anomalies in comparison to historic values.

A system for monitoring the communication with a connected Internet of Things (IoT) device is provided. The system includes a first computing device including a least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one memory device stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to execute an IoT device communication application. The IoT device communication application monitors the IoT device. The instructions also cause the at least one processor to store IoT device data including a current location of the IoT device, determine an optimal communication path between the IoT device communication application and the IoT device based on the IoT device data, and transfer execution of the IoT device communication application to a second computing device based on the optimal communication path.

A medical dressing, specifically adapted to comprise a machine-readable tag for allowing efficient and safe inspection during use of the medical dressing is described. A medical dressing arrangement and to a computer implemented inspection method applied in conjunction with the medical dressing is also described.

Various information systems may benefit from the appropriate simplification of data structures and processes. For example, certain health information systems may benefit from dimension reduction of claims data. A method can include creating a tensor to organize data. The method can also include conditionally reducing the size of that tensor in order to more effectively apply machine learning.

Systems and methods for providing a user characteristic to a service provider for a virtual conference with a user are provided. In particular, a computing device may collect raw media data associated with the user during the virtual conference between the user and the service provider. During the virtual conference, the computing device may perform a first processing of the raw media data to extract intermediate user data, wherein the intermediate user data comprises one or more of a physiological signal and a behavioral signal associated the user. The computing device may further transform the raw media data into transformed media data and transmit the transformed media data with the intermediate user data to a server for second processing of the intermediate user data.

The present invention provides a technology that allows a user to more easily record medication information. A blood pressure measurement device according to an aspect of the present invention includes a prescription information acquisition unit configured to acquire prescription information, a preparatory action determination unit configured to determine whether a preparatory action for blood pressure measurement is performed, a blood pressure measurement operation unit configured to perform a blood pressure measurement operation in a case where an operation button is operated with the preparatory action determined to be performed, and a medication recording and processing unit configured to, in a case where the operation button is operated with the preparatory action determined not to be performed, assess that the operation is a medication confirmation operation, and generate and record medication information on the basis of the prescription information thus acquired.
