The present disclosure presents at least one communication interface for prediction of data related to health conditions, wherein the at least one communication interface is configured to receive health-related data, preferably comprising measurement data, from a first user device of a first user, associated with a first time and a first location. The at least one communication interface additionally comprises at least one processor configured to utilize said received health-related data to generate predictive data to be indicated to a second user device of a second user associated with a second time and a second location.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing a decision support solution to medical professionals to optimize medical care through data monitoring and feedback treatment are provided herein. In another embodiment, a computer-implemented method for modeling patient outcomes resulting from treatment in a specific medical area includes receiving patient-specific data associated with a patient, determining a plurality of possible patient states under which the patient can be categorized, a current patient state under which the patient can be categorized and determining probabilities of the patient transitioning from any of the possible patient states to every other possible patient state.

A system for monitoring medical conditions including pressure ulcers, pressure-induced ischemia and related medical conditions comprises at least one sensor adapted to detect one or more patient characteristic including at least position, orientation, temperature, acceleration, moisture, resistance, stress, heart rate, respiration rate, and blood oxygenation, a host for processing the data received from the sensors together with historical patient data to develop an assessment of patient condition and suggested course of treatment, including either suspending or adjusting turn schedule based on various types of patient movement. Compliance with Head-of-Bed protocols can also be performed based on actual patient position instead of being inferred from bed elevation angle. The sensor can include bi-axial or tri-axial accelerometers, as well as resistive, inductive, capacitive, magnetic and other sensing devices, depending on whether the sensor is located on the patient or the support surface, and for what purpose.

An electronic device, such as a watch, has a housing to which a carrier is attached. The carrier has a first surface interior to the electronic device, and a second surface exterior to the electronic device. A set of electrodes is deposited on the exterior surface of the carrier. An additional electrode is operable to be contacted by a finger of a user of the electronic device while the first electrode is positioned against skin of the user. The additional electrode may be positioned on a user-rotatable crown of the electronic device, on a button of the electronic device, or on another surface of the housing of the electronic device. A processor of the electronic device is operable to determine a biological parameter of the user based on voltages at the electrodes. The biological parameter may be an electrocardiogram.

An oral appliance includes an upper arch and a seal. The upper arch may be positioned proximate a maxillary dentition of a user. The upper arch includes a first tab and a second tab positioned on opposite sides of a plane substantially bisecting the upper arch. The seal defines a first receptacle and a second receptacle that may receive the first and second tabs to couple the seal to the upper arch and to inhibit breathing through a mouth of the user.

A system and method for identifying sleep states of a subject are provided. In some aspects, the method includes acquiring physiological data from a subject over a sleep period using sensors positioned about the subject, and assembling the physiological data into time-series datasets. The method also includes selecting a temporal window in which signals associated with the time-series datasets are substantially stationary, computing a time bandwidth product based on a selected spectral resolution and the selected temporal window, and determining a number of tapers using the computed time bandwidth product. The method further includes computing a spectrogram using the determined number of tapers and the time-series datasets, analyzing the spectrogram to identify signatures of sleep in the subject, and generating, using the identified signatures, a report indicative of sleep states of the subject.

An extracorporeal blood gas exchange device has a bloodstream area for guiding a bloodstream, a gas-carrying area for guiding a gas flow, and a membrane, which forms a gas-liquid barrier between the bloodstream and the gas flow, and which further makes possible the transfer of carbon dioxide of the bloodstream into the gas flow. The device further has at least one measuring cuvette, which is separated from the bloodstream area at least partially by the membrane, so that carbon dioxide of the bloodstream can pass over into the measuring cuvette. The device has an optical measuring unit, which is configured to measure a carbon dioxide partial pressure present in the measuring cuvette.

Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for energy-efficient operation of wireless devices. In some variations, a wireless monitor may comprise a sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of a patient at a first resolution. A processor may be configured to generate physiological parameter data based on the measured physiological parameter of the patient at the first resolution. The sensor may be configured to measure the physiological parameter of the patient at a second resolution based at least in part on the physiological parameter data.

A method for localizing gingival inflammation using an oral care device, comprising: emitting (520) light by one or more light emitters (42) of the oral care device; obtaining (530), at a first rate by one or more light detectors (40), reflectance measurements for a plurality of locations to generate first reflectance data; determining (540), by a controller (30) of the oral care device using the first reflectance data, whether the location comprises gingiva; obtaining (550), at a second rate by the one or more light detectors, reflectance measurements for each location determined to comprise gingiva to generate gingiva reflectance data, wherein the second rate is faster than the first rate; and determining (560), by the controller using the gingiva reflectance data, whether gingiva at that location is inflamed.
