Handheld Closed-Loop Automatic Insulin Delivery System
An all-in-one insulin pen includes a handheld housing that houses a glucose testing module, an insulin delivery module, a wireless communication module, and a microcontroller. The glucose testing module tests a one-time glucose concentration of a patient. The insulin delivery module automatically administers an insulin bolus to the patient based at least in part on the one-time glucose concentration.

Modular automated physical health testing systems and associated devices and methods
Automated modular physical health testing systems and associated devices and methods are disclosed herein. A modular system configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a housing, a communications hub, and a plurality of physical health testing devices. The housing integrates the communications hub and stores the plurality of physical health testing devices. The physical health testing devices are in wired and/or wireless communication with the communications hub. Each physical health testing device is configured to generate physical health data of a user and to transmit generated physical health data to the communication hub and/or a user's mobile device. The modular physical health testing system provides an automated physical exam that can be performed at user's homes or other convenient locations.
CONTINUOUS BLOOD GLUCOSE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS
The present disclosure relates to a continuous glucose monitoring apparatus, and provides a continuous glucose monitoring apparatus of which a body-attachment unit starts operating, in a state in which the body-attachment unit is inside an applicator, by the supply of power to the body-attachment unit through a user operation, such as separation and removal of a protective cap, so that the operating start time point of the body-attachment unit is formed by means of the user operation immediately before the body-attachment unit is inserted into and attached to the human body, thereby enabling the body-attachment unit to start operating at an appropriate point in time, the body-attachment unit starts operating only by simply removing the protective cap even without performing separate additional work for starting operation of the body-attachment unit, thereby improving use convenience, and an operating method for a power supply switch means that supplies battery power to the body-attachment unit is formed as various methods that are linked with a separation and removal operation of the protective cap, and thus manufacturing and use convenience can be further improved.
BLOOD READER SYSTEMS AND THERANOSTICS FOR BRAIN DAMAGE AND INJURY
Blood and bodily fluid reader systems, including circulating biomarkers involving multiple mitochondrial releasates for providing real-time, at-the-scene objective indicia of individuals sustaining mild TBI.

Devices for collecting capillary blood and methods for same
A device for collecting blood from a mammalian subject without using spontaneous capillary blood flow, the device including a collection cup subassembly having a cantilevered, concave slide for transporting blood down and away from a blood sampling location; a mid-body subassembly couplable to the collection cup assembly and including a housing having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a plenum space; and a plunger subassembly having a first end and a second end and including a plunger formed at the second end and one or more lancet elements attached to the plunger. Advantageously, the plunger and lancet elements are structured and arranged to translate through the mid-body subassembly and the collection cup subassembly to the blood sampling location.
MEDICAL DEVICE INSERTERS AND PROCESSES OF INSERTING AND USING MEDICAL DEVICES
An apparatus for insertion of a medical device in the skin of a subject is provided, as well as methods of inserting medical devices. Embodiments include removing a substantially cylindrical cap from an inserter to expose a substantially cylindrical sleeve, removing a cover from a substantially cylindrical container holding sensor components, and fitting the sensor components into the inserter.
Integrated fluid module and test device
An integrated testing device and fluid module are disclosed, as well as a method of manufacture. Fluid module contains a reservoir containing a test fluid, and a control vessel. The reservoir discharges test fluid into the control vessel, which discharges the test fluid in a controlled way to a test component.
Bodily fluid collection devices and related methods
Devices and methods for withdrawing bodily fluid from a subject are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a handheld device can include a housing having an opening, a skin-piercing assembly, and an actuator coupled to the skin-piercing assembly. The skin-piercing assembly can include a casing, a drive member pivotably mounted within the casing and carrying a blade, and a biasing member coupling the drive member to the casing. The actuator can be movable relative to the housing from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the drive member can engage the casing to maintain the biasing member in a biased configuration. Movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position can disengage the drive member from the casing to permit the biasing member to drive the blade at least partially through and/or across the opening in the base.
