A reader for medical implants includes an antenna and a transceiver chip connected with the antenna. The transceiver chip includes a power amplifier and a resistor. The power amplifier is connected with a reference voltage through the resistor and configured to produce a first communication signal with high frequency and transmit the first communication signal to the medical implants through the antenna. The medical implant receives the first communication signal and produces a second communication signal according to variation of parameters of the medical implant. The antenna is configured to receive the second communication signal. The power amplifier is further configured to vary a DC current which flows through the resistor according to the second communication signal and read signals of the medical implant according to variation of the DC current. The power amplifier is further configured to modulate the second communication signal into a low frequency signal.

An intraocular implant device includes: (1) a lens portion; and (2) a peripheral portion surrounding the lens portion, wherein the peripheral portion includes multiple fiducials including a first fiducial, a second fiducial, and a third fiducial, the first fiducial, the second fiducial, and the third fiducial are positioned in the peripheral portion so that the third fiducial is displaced from a line segment connecting the first fiducial and the second fiducial.

A medication adherence device may include a unibody and a station. The unibody may include: a unibody housing configured to be removably coupled to a medicine container; an inertial measurement unit configured to record motion data describing the movement of the unibody, and therefore describing the movement of a medicine container that the unibody is coupled to; and a unibody data interface in communication with the inertial measurement unit. The station may include: a station data interface configured to receive motion data from the unibody data interface; and a station processing unit in communication with the station data interface, the station processing unit configured to generate medication access information using the motion data. Preferably, data and power may be communicated between the unibody and station when the unibody is positioned proximate to the station, such as by being positioned in a station cavity.

An enclosure device is disclosed for delivering an implantable sheet-like support or repair device, such as ligament, tendon or other soft tissue support or repair device, to a surgical site. The enclosure device protects the support or repair device from unwanted adhesion and deformation during delivery and facilitates its optimal positioning at the injury or repair site where the support or repair device will be implanted. The enclosure device has a planar body foldable along one or more fold lines into at least two panels configured to contain the repair device between the panels; an optional cutout in one or more panels of the planar body at the panel edge opposite the fold line configured to expose a portion of the repair device; an optional positioning tab extending out from the fold line; and an optional securing mechanism to secure the enclosure device in a folded position. Methods of using the enclosure device are described.

A sensor system has a first tag including a first communication circuit, and a second tag including a second communication circuit. The first tag is operative to initiate a first wireless transmission for reception by the second tag, the wireless transmission pertaining to a measurement effected by the first tag or the second tag. The second tag is operative to wirelessly communicate data representing the measurement to a reader device.

Medical implants comprising biocompatible materials and having surface features that may assist in biocompatibility upon implantation in the body are described. Methods for manufacturing such implants are also described. The manufacturing process may include applying a biocompatible material to a texturized surface of a mold. The implants may include various features to assist their positioning, fixation, and/or identification during and/or after implantation.

A security scanning method, system, and computer program product, includes receiving a communication of information from a medical device associated with a traveler via a security device and triggering a sending of the information to the device and storing the information in a blockchain.

A system for promoting medication adherence is provided. The system may receive medical information and medication access information via a medication adherence device, the medication adherence device having a housing configured to be removably coupled to a medicine container. The information may be used to form one or more blind spots which representative of symptoms of glaucoma and which may be produced on the display screen of a patient's client device. The system may use Gamblification and/or Gamification in which a blind spot obscures portions of a game of chance program and/or novelty game type program, respectively, from being observed on the display screen. As medical information and medication compliance information is received, the number, size, opacity, and/or shape of the blind spots produced on the display screen of a patient's client device may change to provide actual perception of visual loss which spurs patients to compliance.

Sterile packaging for an intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system includes a sealed container with an IOL delivery system contained therein, with a cap sealing the container. One or more tamper-evident solutions are provided on the packaging to ensure an indication of non-sterility. This configuration solves certain issues with prior packaging, such as clumsy transfers and bulky packaging which creates storage issues and mitigates sterility barrier risk associated with pouch or blister packaging or other non-rigid package types.
