A system and method for neural-network-based atrial fibrillation detection with the aid of a digital computer are provided. Electrocardiography (ECG) features and annotated patterns of the features are maintained in a database, at least some of the patterns associated with atrial fibrillation. A classifier is trained based on the annotated patterns, the classifier implemented by a convolutional neural network. A representation of an ECG signal recorded by one or more ambulatory monitors is received. ECG features in the representation falling within each of the temporal windows are detected. The trained classifier is used to identify patterns of the ECG features. At least one matrix with weights for the patterns are generated. A value indicative of whether portions of the representation are associated the patient experiencing atrial fibrillation is calculated. That one or more of the portions are associated with the patient experiencing atrial fibrillation is determined.

The present disclosure relates to a device configured to be adhered to the surface of a mammal for recording physiological signals. The device may include a housing enclosing a circuit board and a flexible wing extending from the housing. The device may include an electrode coupled to the flexible wing and an electrical trace for transmitting an electrical signal between the electrode and the circuit board. The electrical trace may have an insulator with a conductive material and resistors printed on the surface of the insulator. The trace layer may include conductive vias for transmitting the signal from a bottom of the trace layer to a top of the trace layer. The housing may include a battery having a battery terminal connector configured to provide electrical access to both terminals on a single side of the battery. The housing may include a floating trigger button.

A biopsy device is provided comprising a tubular member, a hollow shaft and an elongated fiber body. The hollow shaft may have a distal end and a shaft, wherein a laterally (sidewardly) facing notch is formed in the distal portion of the shaft. The elongated fiber body may include at least one optical fiber, preferably at least two optical fibers, with a distal end. The tubular member is movable relative to the shaft, between a first position in which the notch is covered by the tubular member, and a second position in which the notch is not covered by the tubular member. The fiber body is movable within the shaft, between a first position in which the distal end of the optical fiber is located at the distal end of the shaft with the elongated fiber body extending through the notch, and a second position in which the distal end of the at least one optical fiber is located proximally to the notch.

The invention relates to a mobile medical device, in particular a mobile C-arm X-ray device, comprising a device trolley which can be driven in at least two movement modes in a motor-supported manner, having at least one gripping element, which is provided for gripping by means of at least one human hand of an operator in order to move the device, and additionally having at least one sensor, which is arranged on the gripping element or in the direct vicinity thereof and is designed to detect measurement data that characterizes the type and/or location of the grip by means of the at least one human hand, an evaluating unit, which is designed to evaluate the measurement data with respect to the type and/or location of the grip and assign a movement mode of the device trolley, and a control unit for automatically setting the evaluated movement mode of the device trolley.

A housing apparatus for a medical imaging apparatus has at least one housing shell, a substructure support, on which the at least one housing shell can be fastened, and a user interface having a carrier frame and a communication circuit. The carrier frame is arranged on the substructure support so as to be movable in at least one direction.

A medical display device includes a display device capable of changing the degree of transparency of a display screen, a holding device that holds the display device, and a control device that controls the degree of transparency of the display screen and controls display on the display screen, wherein the display device is held by the holding device so as to be arranged between an operation part of a patient and a medical worker who performs medical practice for the patient.

A core needle biopsy device includes a needle assembly, a drive assembly, and a user interface. The needle assembly includes a piercer and a hollow cutter. The piercer includes a sharp distal tip and a notch proximal to the distal tip. The piercer is slidably disposed within the cutter to sever a tissue sample into the notch of the piercer. The drive assembly is configured to selectively move the piercer and the cutter. The user interface has a plurality of indicators. Each indicator of the plurality of indicators is configured to independently transition between a plurality of predetermined states to collectively define a plurality of predetermined status sequences that indicate movement of the piercer and the cutter via the drive mechanism.
