A urine analysis device for positioning within a toilet includes a test assembly having at least one rotatable holder including a plurality of test strips attached to the rotatable holder; an injector configured to inject a controlled volume of urine onto at least one of the test strips; and an analysis system configured to detect a result of urine injection onto the test strip.

Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media may use broad-range spectrophotometric analysis and/or other sensors to generate data from bodily fluids accessed via a fluid drain. These data may be utilized to analyze therapeutic efficacy, to enable early detection of complications, and to guide the clinical management of patients being treated with a fluid drain. Advantageously, these systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media enable clinical patient care decisions to be performed in a manner that is data-driven or quantitative in nature as opposed to qualitative—e.g., via well-defined, algorithmic-based processes and/or reliable methods. As a result, these systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media enable improved clinical outcomes, more efficiently optimized medical care, and cost savings.

An ambulatory medical device is provided. The ambulatory medical device includes at least one sensor configured to acquire data descriptive of a patient, a memory, a user interface, and at least one processor coupled with the memory, the at least one sensor, and the user interface. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether the ambulatory medical device is within a predefined range of a reference location and to initiate location-specific processing in response to determining that the ambulatory medical device is within the predefined range. The location-specific processing includes at least one of issuing a notification and adapting the user interface.

A skin condition estimation method of the present disclosure is a skin condition estimation method executed by a computer and includes: acquiring first information related to hormone balance; and estimating a future skin condition on an estimation date after a first acquisition date on which the first information is acquired based on the first information.

Methods and kits for sampling mucous from within a sinus to determine if a single sample includes one or more bacterial types indicating a bacterial infection, such as bacterial sinusitis, and one or more viruses indicating a viral infection, such as influenza.

Hypoglycemia and/or hyperglycemia detector (100), including an enclosure (110), one or more gas sensors (132) and one or more processors (134). The enclosure (100) includes a bottom surface (112) configured for positioning against skin (10), for example with an adhesive patch (20). The sensors (132) are positioned within the enclosure (110) and configured for detecting gas emissions from the skin (10) for providing one or more measurement signals. The processors (134) are configured for detecting an indication of hypoglycemia and/or an indication of hyperglycemia from the one or more measurement signals for providing an alarm signal when the indication of hypoglycemia and/or the indication hyperglycemia is detected.

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

Systems, devices and methods are provided that allow for enhanced performance, power efficiency, interoperability, data security and user privacy for in vivo analyte monitoring systems that utilize wireless communications. The in vivo analyte monitoring systems can include a Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy enabled handheld relay device for wirelessly relaying analyte data between a sensor unit device and one or more reader devices. The in vivo analyte monitoring systems can employ advertisement and encryption schemes for wirelessly transmitting data in a manner that allows for improved security, efficiency and privacy.

Described is an apparatus for inline urine analysis comprising a control unit and at least one image capture unit comprising an image sensor and an optical assembly. The apparatus is configured to be coupled with an indwelling urinary catheter or conduit leading from the catheter. Embodiments of the apparatus comprise a dispenser configured to dispense inert or reactive matter into the urine stream to aid in the analysis of properties of the urine and an illumination device configured to illuminate the urine stream. Also described is a system comprising at least one of these apparatuses and at least one image analyzer unit operatively connected to it. The image analyzer unit comprises a processor and software adapted to analyze the captured images to derive information therefrom relating to identification of properties of the urine and/or objects of interest in the urine stream. Embodiments of the system may comprise other peripheral devices.

A fluid characteristic sensor includes a pressure loss generator to generate a pressure loss when the fluid flows, a first flow path connected to the pressure loss generator and through which the fluid and a working liquid that is a polar solvent flow, a partition wall provided in the first flow path to partition the fluid and the working liquid from each other, and a potential measurer connected to the first flow path to measure a flow potential generated when the working liquid flows.
