The present invention provides a closed loop control method in an artificial pancreas and a system using the method, comprising sensing an activity level of a patient by at least one motion sensor and providing signals to at least one processer; then adjusting a series of related algorithms depending partly on the signals by the processer to provide more accurate and reliable data that is the basis of desirable treatment plans, and sending corresponding instructions by the processer for automatic operations of the artificial pancreas to realize a closed loop control.

A blood glucose monitoring and controlling system includes a detecting device and a liquid supplying device. The detecting device includes a first microneedle patch, a liquid pumping actuator, a sensor and a monitoring and controlling chip. The liquid supplying device includes a second microneedle patch, a liquid supplying actuator, a liquid supplying chamber and a liquid supplying and controlling chip. The detecting device is used to measure the blood glucose level of the user, and the liquid supplying device is used to supply insulin liquid. While the detecting device measures that the blood glucose level of the user is abnormal, the liquid supplying device is actuated to inject the insulin liquid into the user's body, thereby stabilizing the user's blood glucose level constantly.

A monitoring system is provided for monitoring an infant during bottle feeding. Based on bottle orientation information and movement information in respect of the feeding bottle during feeding, infant orientation information in respect of the infant is obtained.

A method can include receiving, using one or more processors, a first record including a first data associated with a personal identification from a first database, receiving, using the one or more processors, a second record including a second data associated with a user identification from a second database, pairing, using the one or more processors, the first data and the second data based upon a shared data item contained in the first record and the second record, and displaying, using one or more processors, a report based upon the first data and the second data.

A device, such as a data network device for a medical data network, controls an operating state of a second medical device in such a way that by sending a request message, the second medical device is prompted to change over into the operating state of the combined therapy and hence into an operating state in which its actuator is controlled as a function of an information signal of the first medical device. The information signal is based on physiological measured values. As a result, a clinician does not have to configure the second medical device himself/herself directly on site at the medical device by inputting an input signal, but this can be carried out by the device.

The invention relates to allergic disease, to the development of allergic disease in infants, to determining the likelihood of development of allergic disease in infants and to minimizing the likelihood of development of allergic disease in infants.

System, apparatus, and method for automatic detection of arthritis according to temperature asymmetry estimation in contralateral joints is presented. Simultaneously recorded thermogram and the optical image of an inspected joint and its contralateral joint are sent to the processing unit, where they are stored, processed, and analyzed. The system, apparatus, and method automatically detects outlines of joints in thermograms and optical images. Grid of points of interest is distributed inside the inspected and the contralateral joint's outline. Temperature maps are calculated according to both grids points and the temperature disparity map is estimated. The set of inflammation regions is obtained by analyzing the temperature disparity map and collecting adjacent points containing temperature differences surpassing the threshold. The system, apparatus, and method are non-invasive and non-contact, and suitable for real world environments with natural home or health care institutions background.

A system coupled to a non-human subject comprising communication circuitry configured to communicatively couple to a medical device coupled to the subject and a remote computing system, the medical device configured to monitor physiological data of the non-human subject and the remote computing system configured to store historical data for the non-human subject; processing circuitry; and a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to: receive the monitored physiological data from the medical device; determine whether the medical device indicates that the monitored physiological data is in satisfaction of at least one condition triggering an upload of at least a portion of the monitored physiological data; and in response to the determination, generate, for communication to the remote computing system, output data comprising the at least a portion of the monitored physiological data.

A breath analyzer, a system, and a computer program for administering a breath analysis to a donor and recording a breath analysis result. Embodiments of the invention authenticate that the breath analysis was performed correctly, preserves the breath analysis results by communicating with other devices, and presents the breath analysis results by superimposing them on recorded video data. The breath analyzer includes a breath receptor for receiving a breath sample from the donor, an analyzing element for determining a breath analysis result, a communications element for sending information indicative of the breath analysis result to a recording device manager, and a housing for securing the components in a handheld device. The system comprises the breath analyzer, a recording device manager for synchronizing the recordings, and at least one ancillary camera for recording the breath analysis.
