ORTHODONTAL CORRECTION MONITORING AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
A system for preparing a prescription for the use of one or more orthodontal correction devices, such as aligners, which allows for remote interaction and guidance by dental professionals with their patients. The aligner may include a sensor to detect when it is being worn for tracking compliance and determining when the next correction device within the prescription should replace the current correction device. A software application associated with the patient allows them to view and track their progress and to send data to their dental professional, and similarly the dental professional is alerted by the present invention when compliance issues or other issues may arise requiring intervention.
MONITORING COMPLIANCE USING VENOUS REFILL DETECTION
Monitoring patient compliance with a compression therapy regimen. Venous Refill Time (VRT) is monitored via a pressure sensor in a bladder of a compression system. A controller of the compression system correlates the monitored VRT to a predetermined threshold to determine whether the patient is using the compression system.
Specialized sensors and techniques for monitoring personal activity
New activity recognition, recording, analysis and control techniques, systems and sensors are provided. In one embodiment, multiple sensory tags with unique identification and data transfer attributes, create positional, movement, orientation and acceleration data and supply it to a control system. The tags may be placed at location(s) on the user's body, clothing, personal effects, exercise equipment and other activity-relevant locations, to enhance activity recognition and mapping. The system may define a personal activity space, sample data preferentially from that space, and perform a simplified form of object-recognition to determine, record and analyze user activities.
MEASURING PARAMETERS ASSOCIATED WITH DRUG ADMINISTRATION AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION DEVICES INCORPORATING SAME
The present disclosure relates to drug administration. In an exemplary embodiment, a system can include a drug administration device configured to dispense a drug to a patient, a monitoring device configured to log a delivery event of drug delivery from the drug administration device into the patient, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter following delivery of the drug into the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, a drug administration device can include a drug holder configured to hold a drug, a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense the drug, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter, and the drug administration device can be configured to locally activate the drug at a target location in the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, methods, devices, and systems are provided to assess when operation of a drug dispensing mechanism is complete and to confirm whether drug administration was successful.
WEARABLE DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR PRESCRIPTION ADHERENCE
A wearable computing device for monitoring and facilitating prescription adherence by a patient is provided. The wearable computing device is in communication with an inventory management server. The wearable computing device includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a set of prescription plan data including at least a prescription identifier and a prescription rate associated with the prescription identifier. The processor is further configured to determine an inventory level associated with the prescription identifier. The processor is also configured to determine, based at least on the prescription rate, a time value representing a period of time in which a patient is prescribed to take a pharmaceutical associated with the prescription identifier. The processor is additionally configured to present a prescription inventory indicator representing the inventory level. The processor is also configured to present a timer indicator representing the time value.
Secure networked respiratory therapy systems
Methods and apparatus provide communications among respiratory therapy device (“TD”), server and intermediary (e.g., a control device (“CTLD”) for the therapy device) to improve security. More secure communication channel(s) may be established using shared secrets derived with different channels. The communications may include transmitting therapy data from TD to server for authentication. The CTLD may receive the data and a nonce from a server. The CTLD receives from the TD a signing key dependent on the nonce and a secret shared by TD and server. The CTLD generates an authorisation code with received therapy data and the key for authentication of the data by the server upon its receipt of the code and data. The server computes (1) a key from the nonce and the secret known to TD, and (2) another authorisation code from received therapy data and the key. Data authentication may involve comparing received and computed codes.
Method of monitoring respiratory rate in a health monitoring device
This invention generally relates to methods useful for measuring heart rate, respiration conditions, and oxygen saturation and a wearable device that incorporate those methods with a computerized system supporting data collection, analysis, readout and sharing. Particularly this present invention relates to a wearable device, such as a wristwatch or ring, for real time measuring heart rate, respiration conditions, and oxygen saturation.
Dynamic and adaptive systems and methods for rewarding and/or disincentivizing behaviors
The present disclosure generally relates to dynamic and adaptive systems and methods for rewarding and/or disincentivizing behaviors.
System and method for generating a cardiovascular disease nourishment program
In an aspect, a system for generating a cardiovascular disease nourishment program includes a computing device configured to receive a cardiovascular sample relating to a user, generate a cardiovascular parameter as a function of the cardiovascular disease sample, determine a cardiovascular profile as a function of the a cardiovascular parameter wherein the cardiovascular profile includes a numerical cardiovascular health score correlated to the cardiovascular parameter and an atherosclerosis indicator correlated to the cardiovascular parameter, identify a nutrition element as a function of the cardiovascular profile, wherein identifying comprises obtaining a nutrient composition correlated to a nutrition element, determining a nourishment score as a function of the effect of the nutrition element on the cardiovascular profile, and identifying a nutrition element as a function of the nourishment score and nutrition element machine-learning model, and generate a cardiovascular disease nourishment program as a function of the nourishment score and the cardiovascular profile.
DYNAMIC GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR INTERACTION WITH PATIENT RESPIRATORY DISEASE DATA
This description relates to insight into the asthma management habits of a patient or a plurality of patients. The provided information includes records of rescue medication usage events, records of controller medication events, and overall evaluations of a patients disease management. Users of the application may include both patients who may use the information to monitor their own habits or providers who may use the information to monitor patients or improve a patient's existing medication regimen.
