Systems and methods for tuning a powered prosthesis are described herein. A system includes a powered prosthesis including a joint, a motor mechanically coupled to the joint, a plurality of sensors, a finite state machine, and an impedance controller. The sensors are configured to measure a plurality of gait parameters, and the finite state machine is configured to determine a gait cycle state. The impedance controller is configured to output a control signal for adjusting a torque of the motor, where the torque is adjusted as a function of the measured gait parameters and a plurality of impedance control parameters, and where the impedance control parameters are dependent on the gait cycle state. The system also includes a reinforcement learning controller operably connected to the powered prosthesis. The reinforcement learning controller is configured to tune the impedance control parameters to achieve a target gait characteristic using a training data set.

A system that provides an independent and agnostic cardiovascular sensing ability that can be deployed prior to the standard treatment methods for blocked cardiovascular arteries, and placed in the zone of a vascular lesion for treatment, placing sensors that can monitor blood and vessel specificity to manage the acute and long term biologic reaction to the treatment zone communicating information for analytical management and decision processing to an external or internal receiving station.

A monitor device and a base plate and an ostomy system comprising a monitor device and a base plate is disclosed. The base plate comprising: a top layer; an electrode assembly; and a monitor interface configured for connecting the base plate to a monitor device. An axial distance along an axial direction between a proximal facing edge of a coupling part and a contact surface on the distal side of the top layer is a first axial distance. The first axial distance being less than a second axial distance between a distal facing edge of the monitor device and a proximal facing side of the monitor device, such that upon connecting the base plate to the monitor device the proximal facing side of the monitor device contacts the contact surface to force a first connection parts to contact a first terminal element.

A data transmission system for transmitting an electrical data to a nerve cell. A data receiving system for receiving an electrical data from a nerve cell has at least two phototransistor crystals that is stimulated by light to form an electrical signal; an image source that allows the light to be sent to the phototransistor crystals and allows controlling the amount of light transmitted to each phototransistor crystal independently of each other, and at least one control unit that is connected to the image source that controls the amount of light transmitted from the image source to each of the phototransistor crystals.

A system is disclosed herein for providing a kinetic assessment and preparation of a prosthetic joint comprising one or more prosthetic components. The system comprises a prosthetic component including sensors and circuitry configured to measure load, position of load on a curved surface, joint stability, range of motion, and impingement. In one embodiment, the system is for a ball and socket joint of a musculoskeletal system. The system further includes a computer having a display configured to graphical display quantitative measurement data to support rapid assimilation of the information. The kinetic assessment measures joint alignment under loading that will be similar to that of a final joint installation. The kinetic assessment can use trial or permanent prosthetic components. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the applied load magnitude, position of load, and joint alignment by various means to fine-tune an installation.

A surgical planning system for use in surgical procedures to repair an anatomy of interest includes a preplanning system to generate a virtual surgical plan and a mixed reality system that includes a visualization device wearable by a user to view the virtual surgical plan projected in a real environment. The virtual surgical plan includes a 3D virtual model of the anatomy of interest. When wearing the visualization device, the user can align the 3D virtual model with the real anatomy of interest, thereby achieving a registration between details of the virtual surgical plan and the real anatomy of interest. The registration enables a surgeon to implement the virtual surgical plan on the real anatomy of interest without the use of tracking markers.

Systems and methods for digital signal processing using a sliding windowed infinite Fourier transform (“SWIFT”) algorithm are described. A discrete-time Fourier transform (“DTFT”) of an input signal is computed over an infinite-length temporal window that is slid from one sample in the input signal to the next. The DTFT with the temporal window at a given sample point is effectively calculated by phase shifting and decaying the DTFT calculated when the temporal window was positioned at the previous sample point and adding the current sample to the result.

A load sensing assembly for a spinal implant includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The load sensing assembly includes an antenna, an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, where the integrated circuit is positioned within the central opening of the set screw, and a strain gauge in connection with the integrated circuit. The strain gauge is located within the central opening of the set screw in proximity to the second end of the set screw.

A device that non-invasively detects objects beneath or around the foot or a foot position and transmits signals which are processed and then output via an output device on a skin surface not affected by a neurological deficit, such as the hands or thighs. This device is suitable for subjects with diabetic neuropathy who have lost sensation in their feet and are at risk of punctures, cuts or other physical damage and at risk of sprains, strains or falls due to lack of an ability to detect objects underfoot and foot position.
