System and method for secure cloud-based physiological data processing and delivery
Electronic medical records (EMRs) with the results of the monitoring can be stored in a cloud-computing environment. All communications with the cloud-computing environment are performed via a secure connection. Each of the EMRs can be associated with an identifier that is provided with the results of the monitoring data. The EMRs can be created, viewed, and modified using a mobile application. The mobile application can use a scanner in the mobile device on which the application executes to obtain an identifier and uses the identifier to direct actions of the user towards the appropriate EMR. The mobile application can further provide additional user access verification. Alerts can further be provided through the mobile application. The mobile application deletes from the mobile device all information that has been transmitted or received from the cloud-computing environment once the information is no longer used.
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.
Electronic device and wearable device with elastomeric member
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a wearable device with an elastomeric member. The electronic device includes a housing, a key, a circuit board, a trigger structure and the elastomeric member. The key is connected to the housing and movable relative to the housing when pressed. The circuit board is connected to the housing. The trigger structure is electrically connected to the circuit board. The elastomeric member includes a first connection and a second connection, the first connection being electrically connected to the circuit board, the second connection being abutted on the key. The key, the first connection, and the second connection are conductive to the circuit board. When the key is pressed, the elastomeric member is capable of generating two level of deformation and causing the second connection to switch from a state spaced apart from the trigger structure to a state contacting the trigger structure.
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.
Cross section views of wounds
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing data and computer implementable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for generating cross section views of a wound, the operations including receiving 3D information of a wound based on information captured using an image sensor associated with an image plane substantially parallel to the wound; generating a cross section view of the wound by analyzing the 3D information; and providing data configured to cause a presentation of the generated cross section view of the wound.
ALIGNMENT INTERFACES FOR PERCUTANEOUS ACCESS
Techniques for aligning a medical instrument for percutaneous access to a location within the human anatomy can include determining an orientation of the medical instrument, determining a target location within the human anatomy, and determining a target trajectory for percutaneous access of the target location. Further, the techniques can include causing display of an interface that includes an instrument-alignment element indicative of an alignment of the orientation of the medical instrument to the target trajectory.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION IN NON-NOISE ECG DATA WITH THE AID OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER
A system and method for atrial fibrillation detection in non-noise ECG data 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. Noise is detected in the representations and ECG features in the representation falling within each of the non-noise temporal windows are detected. The trained classifier is used to identify patterns of the ECG features. 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.
Indicator and analytics for sensor insertion in a continuous analyte monitoring system and related methods
The present embodiments provide systems and methods for, among others, tracking sensor insertion locations in a continuous analyte monitoring system. Data gathered from sensor sessions can be used in different ways, such as providing a user with a suggested rotation of insertion locations, correlating data from a given sensor session with sensor accuracy and/or sensor session length, and providing a user with a suggested next insertion location based upon past sensor accuracy and/or sensor session length at that location.
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.
Systems and methods for plasma collection
A plasmapheresis system and a method for operating a plasmapheresis system are provided by which a volume of plasma product (i.e., anticoagulated plasma) so that that the targeted volume of pure plasma in the plasma product is determined based on donor-specific characteristics. In particular, the targeted amount of pure plasma to be collected is based on the weight, or the weight and the height, of the donor. The targeted volume of pure plasma to be collected, TVP, may be a multiple of the donor's weight. Alternatively, TVP may be a multiple of the donor's total blood volume, TBV, with the TBV of the donor being determined based on the donor's weight and height. A target volume for the plasma product to be collected, TVPP, is established, and separation of whole blood into a plasma component and a second component continues until the volume of plasma product in a collection container equals TVPP.
