Systems and methods involving an intraocular implant with input and/or output electronics are described. In some embodiments, the system includes an intraocular lens having at least one optic operably coupled to a haptic, one or more input electronics on the haptic and/or the optic; and one or more output electronics on the haptic and/or the optic for receiving and/or transmitting data.
Apparatus and method for user exercise monitoring
An apparatus (2) for user exercise monitoring is disclosed. The apparatus (2) comprises a frame (4), a motion sensing unit (10) and a user input unit (12) supported by the frame (4), and a harness (6) configured to secure the frame (4) to a user body part. The user input unit (12) comprises a continuous input device (72). Also disclosed is a method for monitoring user exercise via a monitoring apparatus (2) secured to the user. The method comprises sensing user motion with the monitoring apparatus (2) and receiving, via the motioning apparatus (2), user input during exercise. The user input is received via a continuous input device (72) on the monitoring apparatus.
Method and device for neural implant communication
Communications along a neural pathway are provided. The neural pathway is stimulated at a first location, in order to evoke neural responses which propagate along the neural pathway, the neural responses being modulated with data. At a second location spaced apart from the first location along the neural pathway the evoked neural responses are sensed. The sensed neural responses are then demodulated to retrieve the data. The stimulation could comprise peripheral sensory stimulation, and the second location could be at an implanted electrode array.
ACCESSORY DEVICES OF A MEDICAL SYSTEM, AND RELATED METHODS FOR CHANGING A MEDICAL APPLIANCE BASED ON FUTURE OPERATING STATE
The present disclosure relates to a method, performed in an accessory device, for monitoring the current operating state and the future operating state of a base plate of an ostomy appliance. The accessory device comprises an interface configured to communicate with one or more devices of an ostomy system. The interface comprises a display. The ostomy system comprises a monitor device, and/or the ostomy appliance configured to be placed on a skin surface of a user. The ostomy appliance comprises a base plate. The method comprises obtaining monitor data from the monitor device; determining a current operating state of the ostomy appliance based on the monitor data; determining a future operating state of the ostomy appliance based on the monitor data and/or the current operating state; and displaying, on the display, a first user interface screen comprising a first primary user interface object representing the current operating state and/or a first secondary user interface object representing the future operating state.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING POSTURE BY USING SMART BAG
A system and a method for correcting posture are provided where the system comprises a smart bag including at least one pressure sensor and a first communication unit for transmitting an input value recognized by the pressure sensor to a user terminal. The user terminal including a second communication unit for receiving the input value from the first communication unit, an adhesion status checking unit for determining whether a user's human body and the smart bag are in close contact each other or not and determining an adhesion degree between the user's human body and the smart bag by using the input value received by the second communication unit, and a display unit for displaying the adhesion degree between the user's human body and the smart bag determined by the adhesion status checking unit.
ULTRASOUND IMAGING SYSTEM WITH TISSUE SPECIFIC PRESETS FOR DIAGNOSTIC EXAMS
An ultrasound system has user selectable tissue specific presets by which a user can condition the ultrasound system to be optimized for specific types of diagnostic exams. After an exam type has been selected and the exam commenced, a user manipulates imaging and workflow controls to better visualize the target anatomy. The user has the choice of setting up the system so that imaging and workflow settings are maintained when the tissue specific presets are changed, or to reset the imaging and workflow settings to default values upon a change of the tissue specific presets. t,?
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NEURAL-NETWOK-BASED ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION WITH THE AID OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER
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.
Surgical instrument with orientation sensor having a user identified heading
An orientation sensor that includes a user input device that is configured to set a heading of the orientation sensor based on an orientation of the orientation sensor. The orientation sensor may include a memory that is configured to store the heading. The orientation sensor may include a display that is configured to display the at least one orientation value. The orientation sensor may include a processor that is configured to generate orientation information based on the heading. The user input device may include a button, and in response to pressing the button the heading may be set based on the current orientation of the orientation sensor. For example, the at least one orientation value may be associated with orientation data detected by an orientation sensing component, and the at least one orientation value may be displayed based on the heading.
Head-coupled optode assembly
A brain computer interface system includes a retainer and cap assembly for transmitting light to a user's head region and transmitting optical signals from the user's head region to a detector subsystem. The retainer is configured to secure the cap assembly to a head region of a user. The cap assembly includes an array of ports that retain an array of ferrules. A first ferrule in the array of ferrules can include a channel that extends at least partially through the body of the ferrule. The channel retains a fiber optic cable such that the fiber optic cable is in communication with a head region of a user during a mode of operation. The cap includes an elastic portion such that in a mode of operation, the cap and array of ferrules are biased towards the head region of a user.
