Electrode array assembly (10) including a carrier assembly (12) and a connector assembly (14). The carrier assembly (12) includes an array of first electrical contacts (20) coupled to a plurality of electrodes (18), and a first housing (22) canying the array of first contacts (20) and configured to allow access to the first contacts (20). The connector assembly (14) includes an array of second electrical contacts (26), and a second housing (28) canying the second contacts (26) and configured to allow access to the second contacts (26). Each of the carrier assembly (12) and the connector assembly (14) include complementary retention elements (30) and complementary locating formations (32), whereby engaging the complementary locating formations (32) allows the complementary retention elements (30) to secure the first housing (22) to the second housing (28), and allows the first contacts (20) to couple with the second contacts (26).

A medical device, comprising a housing, a combined modular structure which is formed by connecting a board card and an interface panel to a main bracket; a first opening arranged on the housing for the insertion of the combined modular structure; a first locking structure for locking and fixing the combined modular structure to the housing; a screen assembly; a second opening arranged on the housing for mounting the screen assembly, and a second locking structure for locking and fixing the screen assembly to the housing. The integral arrangement of a functional module of a medical device helps to improve the assembly precision between various components, and ensure the reliability of the connection between components. The housing adopts an integral structure, has good waterproof and dustproof effects as well as low production costs; the present disclosure facilitates the assembly of board card and other components, as well as module configuration and modular testing while also having good seismic performance.

Examples described herein include sensor devices for measuring a parameter of a user. The sensor devices may include a reusable portion (e.g., a sensor). The sensor devices may include one or more weakened portions that may fracture on removal of a portion of the sensor device from the user. Fracturing the weakened portions may expose the reusable portion (e.g., the sensor). Accordingly, the reusable portion may be more readily observed and collected for reuse.

An analyte sensor system may include a first communication circuit configured to transmit a wireless signal in a first communication mode and a second communication mode, and a processor, wherein the processor determines whether a first condition is satisfied, the first condition relating to the sensor signal or to communication by the first communication circuit, and shifts the system to a second communication mode responsive to the first condition being satisfied.

An Internet-based disease monitoring system may include a network-based disease sensor device, which is coupled to a sensor, such as a spirometer. A remote server may be coupled to the network-based disease sensor device to provide analysis of input signals from the sensor. The remote server may be able to provide various services for grouping or handling functions relating to such input signals. A service may provide the ability to aggregate input signals from multiple sensors coupled to sensor devices and provide predictive modeling or statistical analysis, which may then be used to adjust future input signals. A service may also contain instructions how to handle billing based on usage of the network-based disease sensor device.

A wearable device for monitoring medical properties of a patient, the device having a rigid frame, multiple members coupled to the rigid frame, and a housing having an electrical circuit, where the housing is secured to the rigid frame, where the rigid frame surrounds a void, and where the void is configured to accommodate a bottom surface of the housing.

Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

A medical device, including: a cooling system; a heating system; and an applicator including a cold base operationally coupled to the cooling system and a heating element operationally coupled to the heating system, and an applicator head collocated with the cold base and the heating element and adapted for applying a combination of heat and cold to a target area such as target tissue.

A method of operating a modular surgical system including a control module, a first surgical module, and a second surgical module is disclosed. The method includes detachably connecting the first surgical module to the control module by stacking the first surgical module with the control module in a stack configuration, detachably connecting the second surgical module to the first surgical module by stacking the second surgical module with the control module and the first surgical module in the stack configuration, powering up the modular surgical system, and monitoring distribution of power from a power supply of the control module to the first surgical module and the second surgical module.

Embodiments provide physiological measurement systems, devices and methods for continuous health and fitness monitoring. A wearable strap may detect reflected light from a user's skin, where data corresponding to the reflected light is used to automatically and continually determine a heart rate of the user. The wearable strap may monitor heart rate data including heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep quality. The systems may include a processing module that generates an indicator of physical recovery based on the heart rate data. The recovery indicator may be used to determine strain related to an exercise routine, qualitative information on the user's health, whether to alter a user's exercise plan, and so forth.
