Test apparatus and methods for ST2 cardiac biomarker
The technology described in this document can be embodied in a test strip for use in measuring a level of an ST2 cardiac biomarker in a blood plasma sample. The test strip includes a base, and a plurality of conjugates, wherein each conjugate includes a reporter group bound to a first antibody that binds to ST2. A conjugate pad disposed along a length of the base and is configured to hold the plurality of conjugates that bind with ST2 to produce conjugate-ST2 complexes. The conjugate pad is further configured to receive the blood plasma sample. The test strip also includes a plurality of second and third antibodies that bind to ST2, and the conjugate-ST2 complexes, respectively. The plurality of second antibodies are bound to a membrane in a test location and the plurality of third antibodies are bound to the membrane in a control location.

PEN-TYPE DRUG INJECTION DEVICE WITH CONTROLLER AND TIME LOCK-OUT MECHANISM FOR ITS DRIVE
Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to a drive mechanism for a drug delivery device. The drive mechanism includes: a piston rod to operably engage with a piston of a cartridge to displace the piston in a distal direction during a dose dispensing action, at least one actuation member mechanically coupled with the piston rod to induce a distally directed displacement of the piston rod when actuated by a user, a control to ascertain at least one predefined condition of use, and at least one interlock member coupled with the control to mechanically obstruct displacement of the piston rod if the condition of use is not fulfilled.

Systems and methods for identifying and modeling unresolved vessels in image-based patient-specific hemodynamic models
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying and modeling unresolved vessels, and the effects thereof, in image-based patient-specific hemodynamic models. One method includes: receiving, in an electronic storage medium, one or more patient-specific anatomical models representing at least a vessel of a patient; determining, using a processor, the values and characteristics of one or more patient-specific morphometric features in the one or more patient-specific anatomical models; modifying the patient-specific anatomical model using the determined patient-specific morphometric features; and outputting, one or more of, a modified patient-specific anatomical model or a patient-specific morphometric feature to an electronic storage medium or display.

Contextual annotation of medical data
A method of annotating medical data may involve receiving, by a first device, medical data from one or more sensors of one or more medical devices and non-medical event data from one or more non-medical devices. The non-medical event data may indicate a non-medical device type. The method may involve annotating the medical data according to the non-medical event data, to produce annotated medical data, and transmitting the annotated medical data to a second device.

TRACKING AND REWARDING HEALTH AND FITNESS ACTIVITIES USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate tracking and rewarding health and fitness activities of users using blockchain technology. In an aspect, a system comprises a non-transitory memory comprising instructions, and one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read the instructions to cause the system to perform operations. The operations comprise receiving health and fitness information for entities, employing a blockchain network to store the health and fitness information for the entities, and sending a non-fungible token (NFT) to an entity of the entities in response to a subset of the health and fitness information associated with the entity satisfying a criterion.
Athletic performance and technique monitoring
Methods and apparatuses for athletic performance and technique monitoring are disclosed. In one example, a sensor output is received associated with a movement of a user torso during a running motion. The sensor output is analyzed to identify an undesirable torso motion.
