BLOOD GLUCOSE CONTROL SYSTEM SWITCHING WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OF THERAPY DELIVERY

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for switching an application executing on an ambulatory medical device to a new application without interrupting therapy provided by the ambulatory medical device to a subject. The ambulatory medical device may receive an indication that an update to an application executing on the ambulatory insulin pump is available, establish a communication connection to a host computing system, download and install the application update, while a prior version of the application continues to run. The disclosed systems and methods can confirm successful installation of the application update on the ambulatory medical device and switch control of the ambulatory medical device from the prior version to the new version of the application without interrupting therapy provided to the subject.

SWITCHING BLOOD GLUCOSE CONTROL SYSTEM EXECUTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OF THERAPY DELIVERY

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for switching control of an ambulatory medical device from an application executing on the ambulatory medical device to a safe version or a new version of the application without interrupting therapy provided by the ambulatory medical device to a subject. The ambulatory medical device can maintain copies of a safe version and a new version of the application. The disclosed systems and methods can execute the new version, while the prior version of the application continues to execute, determine whether a minimum set of operating conditions are satisfied by the new version, and switch control of the ambulatory medical device from the prior version to the new version. The systems and methods can also automatically revert to the safe version of the application case the current version is malfunctioning without interrupting therapy provided to the subject.

PLANAR WAVEGUIDE APPARATUS WITH DIFFRACTION ELEMENT(S) AND SYSTEM EMPLOYING SAME

A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN INTELLIGENT SCHEDULE BOARD FOR OPERATING ROOMS FOR SURGICAL CENTERS AND HOSPITALS
20220020476 · 2022-01-20 · ·

A method for providing an intelligent schedule board for operating rooms in surgical centers and hospitals is provided. The method comprises displaying an estimated location of a patient on an operating room schedule board and displaying status information on the operating room schedule board. The method also comprises automatically updating the schedule dashboard as at least one of the location and the status of the patient changes. Patient location is estimated using an indoor tracking system and wherein the system is an RTLS system. Patient status information is entered by staff members by means of at least one of a tablet device, a phone device, and a computer. Patient status information is entered automatically by means of a computer vision scheme that detects patient status comprising at least one of a start of surgery and an end of surgery. Patient status information is entered using a voice recognition scheme.

Physiological parameter alarm delay

Medical monitoring systems and methods for reducing the frequency of notifications of transient alarms are disclosed. A medical monitoring system can collect a signal representative of the physiological condition of a patient and can determine a physiological parameter using the collected signal. The medical monitoring system can detect an alarm condition for the physiological parameter. The medical monitoring system can then delay notification of the alarm condition until it persists for a predetermined alarm notification delay time.
