Optical connection systems including electrical-and-optical connection systems and methods thereof are disclosed. An electrical-and-optical connection system can include an extension tube having a plug and a relay module having a receptacle. The plug can be formed of a metal piece around electrical wires, which, in turn, are around optical-fiber cores that extend along a length of the extension tube. The plug can be configured to pierce through at least a sterile barrier. The relay module can include electrical wires and optical-fiber cores within a housing of the relay module, as well as a receptacle disposed in the housing. The receptacle can be configured to simultaneously accept insertion of the plug therein and establish both electrical and optical connections between the plug and the receptacle from a sterile field to a non-sterile field set up by the sterile barrier. Shape-sensing systems including the optical connection systems are also disclosed.

A computer program and computer-based system for remotely assessing oral health of a person by obtaining at least one digital image (1) of the person's oral cavity and additional non-image data (2) comprising anamnestic information about the person (30). The digital images (1) are segmented using statistical image segmentation algorithms (101,102) to extract visible segments (3), which are further processed to predict any invisible segments (6). The resulting segments are processed by a statistical object detection algorithm (104) using the non-image data (2) as further input to identify dental features (7), which are filtered to select only risk-related dental features (8) using a risk database (9) and mapped to respective tooth regions (11) or oral cavity regions (12) in an Oral Risk Atlas (10).

A patient request system includes a tablet computer that configured for entry of patient requests. The tablet computer is configured to display a first menu corresponding to basic request categories for a patient. The tablet computer is configured to display a second menu that corresponds to specific patient requests falling under the basic request category selected by the patient using the first menu. A server is configured to receive a specific patient request made by the patient. A notification device is configured to display the specific patient request to a caregiver. A patient request method is also disclosed.

A continuous and self-calibration method and system for monitoring oxygen saturation of a patient are provided. An example system includes a wearable device having a first optical sensor to measure a first red wavelength photoplethysmography (PPG) signal and a first infrared wavelength PPG signal and a second optical sensor to measure a second red wavelength PPG signal and a second infrared wavelength PPG signal. The system further includes a processor configured to repeatedly determine that conditions for recalibration of the first optical sensor are satisfied, determine a first ratio for obtaining the oxygen saturation, a first parameter for modifying the first red wavelength PPG signal, a second parameter for modifying the first infrared wavelength PPG signal, and a second ration for obtaining the oxygen saturation. The processor is further configured to determine a value of the oxygen saturation and provide a message regarding a health status of the patient.

Systems and methods for assisting user with hearing by amplifying sound using an amplifier with gain and amplitude controls for a plurality of frequencies; and applying a learning machine to identify an aural environment and adjust the amplifiers for optimum hearing.

Disclosed is a physiologic monitoring system comprising a central hub in communication with a management portal for communicating physiologic measurements taken from a plurality of peripheral devices on a patient. At least one non-invasive peripheral device may measure physiologic data from a patient and be in communication with said central hub. A system including an invasive peripheral device may be associated with said patient and be in communication with said central hub. The central hub may be scalable to collect and communicate measurements from the non-invasive peripheral device and the invasive peripheral device. The at least one non-invasive peripheral device may include a blood pressure cuff, an oxygen sensor, a weight scale, and an ECG monitor. The invasive peripheral device may include a wireless sensor reader that may be adapted to measure physiologic data from a sensor implant placed within the cardiovascular system of said patient.

Systems and methods for providing a universal platform for at-home health testing and diagnostics are provided herein. In particular, a health testing and diagnostic platform is provided to connect medical providers with patients and to generate a unique, private testing environment. In some embodiments, the testing environment may facilitate administration of a medical test to a patient with the guidance of a proctor. In some embodiments, the patient may be provided with step-by-step instructions for test administration by the proctor within a testing environment. The platform may display unique, dynamic testing interfaces to the patient and proctor to ensure proper testing protocols and accurate test result verification.

A system for remote transdermal alcohol monitoring includes and/or interfaces with a transdermal alcohol sensing device. Additionally or alternatively, the system can include and/or interface with any or all of: a user device; a supplementary alcohol sensing device; a set of supplementary sensors; a computing subsystem; a user interface; and/or any other components. A method for remote transdermal alcohol monitoring includes: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of outputs; and triggering an action based on the set of outputs.

Various embodiments concern video patient monitoring with detection zones. Various embodiments can comprise a camera, a user interface, and a computing system. The computing system can be configured to perform various steps based on reception of a frame from the camera, including: calculate a background luminance of the frame; monitor for a luminance change of a zone as compared to one or more previous frames, the luminance change indicative of patient motion in the zone; and compare the background luminance to an aggregate background luminance, the aggregate background luminance based on the plurality of frames. If the background luminance changed by more than a predetermined amount, then the aggregate background luminance can be set to the background luminance, luminance information of the previous frames can be disregarded, and motion detection can be disregarded.
