SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A THERMOREGULATED ENVIRONMENT
Various systems and devices are provided for determining a weaning readiness for weaning a patient from a thermoregulated microenvironment. In one example, a method includes receiving current patient parameters of the patient and applying a weaning model to the current patient parameters to calculate a weaning index representing a likelihood that the patient can be successfully weaned from the microenvironment. The method also includes outputting the weaning index for display on a display device or for storage in a medical record of the patient and upon outputting the weaning index, receiving one or more subsequent patient outcomes, the one or more subsequent patient outcomes comprising whether the patient developed any complications within the duration since being weaned from the microenvironment. The method also includes updating the weaning model based on the one or more received subsequent patient outcomes.

INFANT WARMING SYSTEM HAVING ECG MONITOR AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING RESUSCITATION ASSISTANCE
An infant warming system comprising a platform for supporting an infant, at least two chest electrodes configured to connect to and detect cardiac potentials from a chest of the infant, an ECG monitor configured to receive the cardiac potentials from the at least two chest electrodes and determine a heart rate based on the cardiac potentials, a pulse oximeter device configured to determine an SpO.sub.2 for the infant, and a processor configured to compare the heart rate for the infant to a first heart rate threshold and compare the SpO.sub.2 for the infant to a first SpO.sub.2 threshold. The processor can also adjust a display of the heart rate and the SpO.sub.2 on a display device based on the comparisons and generate a first care instruction via a user interface based on the heart rate, the SpO.sub.2, or a combination thereof.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC SELECTION OF SENSORS FOR OBTAINING PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA FROM A PATIENT
Various methods and systems are provided for selecting sensors for acquiring physiological data of a patient. In one embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of sensors, a dynamic selection switch communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors, a plurality of acquisition channels communicatively coupled to the dynamic selection switch, and a processor communicatively coupled to the dynamic selection switch and configured with executable instructions in non-transitory memory that when executed cause the processor to: select a subset of sensors; control the dynamic selection switch to connect the subset of sensors to the plurality of acquisition channels; and acquire, from the subset of sensors via the plurality of acquisition channels, physiological data of a patient. In this way, a subset of sensors in a plurality of sensors may be dynamically selected in real-time for acquiring physiological data of the patient.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING/DETECTING AND RESPONDING TO INFANT BREATHING
This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and responding to abnormalities in a subject's breathing or heartbeat. One or more sensing devices may collect breathing or heartbeat related data, which may be filtered and converted to a frequency signal. The frequency signal may be monitored for irregularity or stoppage, and a processing module may determine whether the irregularity or stoppage is caused by an actual stoppage or irregularity in breathing or heartbeat. If breathing or heartbeat is determined to have stopped, a corrective action may be performed.
Portable rocker for newborn baby or infant
A rocker for supporting an infant or other item includes a carrier assembly and a support assembly. The carrier assembly has a support platform. The support assembly is disposed below the carrier assembly is operable to selectively impart motion to the carrier assembly in a plurality of different motion patterns. The motion patterns can include one or more of translation along a first linear direction, translation along a second linear direction perpendicular to the first linear direction, yaw relative to a first axis, pitch relative to a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, roll about a third axis that is perpendicular to the first and second axes, and elevation changes relative to the support assembly.
Lancing Device with Ejector
A lancing device with an ejector that is movably retained with a housing in proximity to a lancet and is selectively movable between a home position, a first eject position, an intermediate position defined by contact of the ejector with the lancet, and a second eject position. The ejector is rotatable to move from the home to first eject position and is linearly translatable to move between the first and second eject positions. The ejector includes an arm that extends within the housing and engages the lancet, an exterior portion that is actuated by a user, and a post extending therebetween. The post extends through a slot in the housing which limits the linear movement and direction of the ejector. Upon rotation of the ejector, the arm extends through an opening at the rear of the carriage holding the lancet to permit access to the lancet.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEIZURE DETECTION BASED ON CHANGES IN ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM (EEG) NON-LINEARITIES
A system of seizure detection including one or more processing circuits configured to receive an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal generated based on electrical brain activity of a patient and determine a plurality of metrics based on the EEG signal, the plurality of metrics indicating non-linear features of the EEG signal. The one or more processing circuit are configured to perform a preliminary analysis with one of the plurality of metrics, wherein the preliminary analysis indicates that the EEG signal indicates a candidate seizure or that the EEG signal is insignificant, perform a secondary analysis with one or more metrics of the plurality of metrics to determine whether the EEG signal indicates the candidate seizure or that the EEG signal is insignificant, and generate a seizure alert indicating that the EEG signal indicates the candidate seizure.
