20220217287 · 2022-07-07 · ·

Embodiments consistent with the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and devices for displaying an overlay on wounds. In one example, consistent with the disclosed embodiments, an example system may: receive a real time video feed; receive image-based information associated with at least one previously captured image of a wound; generate, using the video feed and the image-based information, an overlay including an indication of a condition of the wound in the at least one previously captured image; and display, on at least one user interface, the overlay, wherein the at least one user interface is configured to display the overlay in a position associated with a position of the wound in the video feed.

Visual time series view of a wound with image correction

Disclosed are processes including receiving at least a first and a second image data record corresponding to a first and a second point in time and including a first and a second one or more images of a wound; obtaining an image of the wound from a particular point of view corresponding to the first point in time by analyzing the first image data record; generating a simulated image of the wound from the particular point of view corresponding to the second point in time by analyzing the second image data record; and generating a visual time series view of the wound including at least the image of the wound from the particular point of view corresponding to the first point in time and the simulated image of the wound from the particular point of view corresponding to the second point in time.

20220241046 · 2022-08-04 ·

A neckband-type medical headlight system includes a lighting unit and a magnifying glass provided in glasses or a headset, a control unit configured to control the lighting unit, and a battery and a power cable configured to supply electric power to the lighting unit. The control unit for controlling the lighting unit is composed of a neckband type to be seated around a user's neck. A pedal-type wireless control unit is further provided to enable a user to turn on and off the lighting unit using a foot.

Selective reaction to failure to complete medical action

Embodiments consistent with the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and devices for providing wound capturing guidance. In one example, consistent with the disclosed embodiments, an example system may: display, on a mobile device, a user interface configured to guide a patient through one or more steps for performing a medical action, the plurality of steps including at least: using at least one item of a medical kit; and capturing at least one image of at least part of the at least one item of the medical kit using at least one image sensor associated with the mobile device. The example system may also: detect a failure to successfully complete the medical action; select from one or more alternative reactions, a reaction to the detected failure likely to bring a successful completion of the medical action; and provide instructions associated with the selected reaction.

SPIROMETRY SYSTEM FOR MITIGATING PHYSICAL USER ERRORS

A spirometry system operable to measure airflow through an air passage defined by a mouthpiece including one or more contact sensors configured to generate at least one mouth contact signal indicative of user mouth contact with the proximal portion of the mouthpiece. The spirometry system can further include an airflow sensor configured to generate an airflow signal corresponding to airflow within the air passage, and processor circuitry communicatively coupled to the one or more contact sensors and to the airflow sensor. The processor circuitry can be configured to determine an indication of an amount of user mouth contact for use with a measurement of airflow by the processor circuitry.

ARTICLES, KITS AND METHODS ADAPTED FOR FACILITATING ADJUSTABILITY OF OPERATIVE APPARATUSES
20220287796 · 2022-09-15 · ·

Embodiments of the disclosures made herein are directed to facilitating adjustability of operative apparatuses. More specifically, embodiments of the disclosures made herein are directed to mitigating adverse implications of having to adjust a control portion of an operative apparatus to a user-defined setting that is not otherwise a predefined setting position of the control portion. Such adverse implications may arise, for example, due to the time required for performing such adjustment with a required degree of precision. Thereby, such embodiments serve to mitigate, if not eliminate, that manner in which adjusting the control portion of the operative apparatus to the user-defined setting during a procedure can undesirably and/or unacceptably limit efficiency and/or effectiveness of the procedure.

WEARABLE DEVICE WITH CONDUCTIVE TRACES AND INSULATOR

The present disclosure relates to a wearable device that includes a housing, battery terminal connector, conductive traces, and an insulator for recording signals. The device may include a housing enclosing a circuit board and a battery. The device may include two conductive traces electrically connected to terminals of the battery and an insulator separating the conductive traces. The battery terminal connector can present both the conductive traces to the outer surface for coupling to a circuit board. The device can assess the physiological signals to infer a likelihood of arrhythmia of a user.

ANALYTE SENSOR AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTION OF THE SENSOR

An apparatus for insertion of a medical device in the skin of a subject is provided.

Multi-degrees-of-freedom hand controller

Disclosed is a controller including a first control member, a second control member that extends from a portion of the first control member, and a controller processor that is operable to produce a rotational movement output signal in response to movement of the first control member, and a translational movement output signal in response to movement of the second control member relative to the first control member. The rotational movement output signal may be any of a pitch movement output signal, a yaw movement output signal, and a roll movement output signal, and the translational movement output signal may be any of an x-axis movement output signal, a y-axis movement output signal, and a z-axis movement output signal. In exemplary embodiments, the first control member may be gripped and moved using a single hand, and the second control member may be moved using one or more digits of the single hand, thus permitting highly intuitive, single-handed control of multiple degrees of freedom, to and including, all six degrees of rotational and translational freedom without any inadvertent cross-coupling inputs.
