A personalized acute care treatment kit is provided that includes components necessary for a lay caregiver to treat an acute cardiac event. The kit includes a medication box provided with medications selected according to the needs of the owner, a CPR device, a pacemaker, a defibrillator, monitoring and diagnostic devices and a computing device. The computing device is provided with a mobile application that captures patient data from the devices in the kit and automatically sends an alarm to a treatment professional when the patient data exceeds a predetermined threshold and establishes a communication link to with the treatment professional to allow the treatment professional to instruct the lay caregiver in using the contents of the kit to provide acute care.

REAL-TIME METHODS TO ENABLE PRECISION-GUIDED CPR TO IMPROVE NEUROLOGICAL OUTCOME AND PREDICT BRAIN DAMAGE AFTER ISCHEMIC INJURY AND REPERFUSION

A multimodal optical imaging platform is used to obtain cerebral perfusion-metabolism mismatch metrics for rapid assessment of acute brain injury, ongoing (real-time) feedback to optimize cardiopulmonary resuscitation to improve neurological outcome, and rapid prognosis of recovery. Light of several wavelengths and types is delivered to the tissue, which is then absorbed and scattered by tissue components such as blood and cellular components. Some of this light scatters back to the surface, where it is captured by a detector. The resulting data are processed to obtain blood flow and oxygenation parameters, as well as tissue scattering. These parameters are then combined to calculate metabolism and flow-metabolism coupling/decoupling metrics, which are used to determine ischemic damage, ongoing need for optimal blood flow and oxygenation, and to predict cerebral recovery in patients with acute brain injury during and immediately after cardiac arrest, stroke, traumatic brain injury, etc.

20230274813 · 2023-08-31 · ·

A computer-implemented method for (1) receiving one or more characteristics of a user, wherein the one or more characteristics comprise personal information, performance information, measurement information, or some combination thereof, (2) generating, using one or more trained machine learning models, a treatment plan for the user, wherein the treatment plan is generated based on the one or more characteristics of the user, and the treatment plan comprises: (i) a dietary plan that is tailored to manage one or more medical conditions associated with the user, and (ii) an exercise plan comprises one or more exercises associated with the one or more medical conditions, and (3) presenting, via a display device, at least a portion of the treatment plan comprising the dietary plan.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for documenting code blue scenarios

An apparatus may be configured for documenting a code blue scenario when adhered to the chest of a subject undergoing resuscitation by sensing and transmitting information associated with the code blue scenario. Such information may include one or more of vital signs of the subject during resuscitation, information associated with chest movements of the subject during resuscitation, and audio information from an environment of the subject during resuscitation. A computing platform that is separate and distinct from the apparatus may provide code blue documentation conveying information related to the vital signs of the subject and derived from the audio information from the environment of the subject during resuscitation.
