The present disclosure relates to visualizing an operative field in the context of a dental operating theater, and more specifically, to a portable, modular, multifunctional intraoral imaging system to assist a practitioner in performing a medical or dental procedure in a confined space (e.g., intraoral cavity or mouth of a patient). The system may include an intraoral camera apparatus having a camera unit equipped with a wireless transmitter, and a viewscreen mounted to an articulated stand or dental delivery unit, wherein the camera wirelessly may transmit an image to a viewscreen located directly in front of a dental practitioner. The practitioner may look directly ahead at a high-definition screen to view the operative field. A dental practitioner may use the apparatus to perform micro-surgical procedures in a confined operative area with less-than-ideal visibility and access, without the present, though generally accepted, physical difficulties and limitations.

Systems and methods to determine an indication of patient compliance are disclosed, including detect temperature information associated with a treatment device comprising a therapy component including at least one of an electrical therapy component or a thermal therapy component configured to apply a treatment at the treatment location and determining the indication of patient compliance using the received temperature information occurring over a first period.

If the frames of a pair of eyeglasses have a built-in sensor, replacement of the sensor may result in increased effort, cost, and the like. Accordingly, the object is to provide a control device enabling a user to replace the sensor easily. A control device, including: a connecting unit that includes a sensor; and a main unit including a first control unit that conducts processes regarding information obtained from the sensor. The connecting unit is removably connected to each of the main unit and an object mounted on a head of a human body.

The present disclosure refers to a method for operating a system, the system comprising a medical device (1), having at least one of a sensor device for sensing medical data and a medication delivery device for delivering medication, a portable electronic consumer device (2), an intermediate device (3) provided with a first communication protocol for data communication with the portable electronic consumer device (2) and a second communication protocol for data communication with the medical device (1), and a control module (6) provided in the intermediate device (3), the method comprising, in the control module (6), receiving control data from the portable electronic consumer device (2) by a receiving functionality provided in the control module (6), the control data being configured for controlling operation of the medical device (1), determining whether the control data can be confirmed by a confirmation functionality provided in the control module (6), and if the control data are confirmed, transmitting the control data to the medical device (1) by a transmission functionality provided in the control module (6). Further, a system is provided.

A device for measuring and recording body functions can include a first patch and a second patch. The first patch be applied to a user and include an electrocardiogram (“EKG”) sensor and a first communication circuit. The EKG sensor can be for recording electrical activity data of a heart of the user. The first communication circuit can be communicatively coupled to the EKG sensors for transmitting the electrical activity data. The second patch can be communicatively coupled to the first patch and include a processing device and a second communication circuit. The processing device can be for performing an analysis of the electrical activity data. The second communication circuit can be communicatively coupled to the first communication circuit for receiving the electrical activity data and communicatively coupled to the processing device for transmitting the analysis to a second device.

The present invention relates to a sensor applicator assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system and provides a sensor applicator assembly for a continuous glucose monitoring system, which is manufactured with a sensor module assembled inside an applicator, thereby minimizing additional work by a user for attaching the sensor module to the body and allowing the sensor module to be attached to the body simply by operating the applicator, and thus can be used more conveniently. A battery is built in the sensor module and a separate transmitter is connected to the sensor module so as to receive power supply from the sensor module and be continuously used semi-permanently, thereby making the assembly economical. The sensor module and the applicator are used as disposables, thereby allowing accurate and safe use and convenient maintenance.

A force measurement system that includes at least one force plate module is disclosed herein. The at least one force plate module has a plurality of force plate assemblies supported on a base component, each of the force plate assemblies includes a plate component having a top surface, the top surface of the plate component forming a force measurement surface for receiving at least one portion of a body of a subject; and at least one force transducer, the at least one force transducer configured to sense one or more measured quantities and output one or more signals that are representative of the one or more measured quantities, the plate component being supported on the at least one force transducer. The at least one force plate module is configured to be connected to one or more additional force plate modules so as to form a modular array of force plates.

A breakaway stethoscope includes a chest piece, a headset, a tube, and a coupler. The chest piece captures sounds generated inside a person's body when the chest piece is positioned adjacent the person's body. The headset directs the sounds captured by the chest piece toward a person's ear when the headset is positioned on an ear of the person. The tube connects the chest piece to the headset and conveys the sounds captured by the chest piece toward the headset. The tube has a length and includes a first portion connected to the chest piece and a second portion connected to the headset. The coupler releasably connects the tube's first portion to the tube's second portion and releases one of the tube's portions when the tube experiences a force that urges at least one of the tube's portions to move away from the coupler.

The present invention relates to a system and method for determining sleep, sleep stage and/or sleep stage transition of a person, including heart rate detecting means configured for detecting a heart rate of the person, movement detecting means configured for detecting a movement of a part of the body of the person, where the detected movement is caused by a skeletal muscle of the body, recording means configured for recording the detected heart rate and the detected movement of the part of the body, heart rate classifying means configured for classifying the recorded heart rate of the person into at least one heart rate class at least one heart rate variability class, movement classifying means configured for classifying the recorded movement into at least one movement class, and determining means configured for determining sleep, a sleep stage, a sleep stage transition and/or a sleep event of the person based at least partially on the at least one heart rate class and the at least one movement class.

A method for constructing a modular surgical system is disclosed. The method comprises providing a header module comprising a first power backplane segment, providing a surgical module comprising a second power backplane segment, assembling the header module and the surgical module to electrically couple the first power backplane segment and the second power backplane segment to each other to form a power backplane, and applying power to the surgical module through the power backplane.
