Electrophysiologic biomarkers for prognostication of neurological outcome are described herein. An inverse correlation was found between timing of a cortical spreading depolarization (SD) wave and neurological outcome as tested at 24 hours post-CPR. Additionally, a minor image of this SD was identified as a “repolarization (RP) wave.” Quantifying features of SD and RP during cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provide important metrics for diagnosis and prognosis of neurological injury from hypoxia-ischemia and can serve as an early prognostication tool for predicting outcome at subsequent days after successful CPR. This discovery may also allow for novel therapeutic interventions to improve neurological recovery after hypoxia-ischemia insults.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device (1) for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device (1) comprises: a patient side (3) for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side (2) for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the surface of the patient side (3) and the surface of the user side (2) is at least partially formed of a material with variable contact characteristics configured to be controlled so as to regulate the lateral force distribution profile at the one or more of the surface of the patient side (3) and the surface of the user side (2) from a force applied to the device (1) by the user and transferred through the device (1) to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

Devices and methods for blood flow enhancement and hemodynamic power monitoring are provided. A blood flow enhancement device includes a pump system configured to be coupled to a central vasculature of a subject during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The pump system includes a pumping mechanism configured to increase forward blood flow generated during the CPR while substantially limiting backward blood flow generated during the CPR. The pumping mechanism being operated concurrently with the CPR. The hemodynamic power monitor is configured to control a chest compression device and an active valve.

Disclosed are a method and a device for providing a mental massage to help treat anxiety and depression. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device for providing a mental massage to help treat anxiety and depression is disclosed, the device including: a mental state determination unit for determining a mental state on the basis of a biosignal of a user; a mental massage pattern determination unit for determining a mental massage pattern on the basis of the determined mental state; and a mental massage provision unit for providing a massage on the basis of the mental massage pattern.

A wearable health management system includes a flexible member configured to be worn on an affected area by a patient. At least one actuator is operably coupled to the flexible member. The at least one actuator is configured to be adjusted between a deployed state and a non-deployed state. At least one of a photoplethysmogram sensor and a bioimpedance sensor is coupled to the flexible member to obtain one or more health metrics from the patient. A controller is in communication with the at least one actuator. The controller is configured to adjust the at least one actuator to the deployed state to provide a selected pressure to the affected area.

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation device with blood flow cardiopulmonary resuscitation value feedback is disclosed. The device has a blood flow sensor where a computer converts a blood flow value to a cardiopulmonary resuscitation value and provides the cardiopulmonary resuscitation value to a sensory indicator, a mechanical chest compression device or another computer, computer network, or computing device. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation value provides information on improving chest compressions during a medical emergency involving cardiopulmonary resuscitation by an emergency medical worker. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation may, in some embodiments, be aided by a mechanical chest compression device. The device improves patient outcome from cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

A compression device for applying pressure to a body part can include a fabric member that can fit over the body part, and one or more actuators coupled to the fabric member, wherein each of the one or more actuators is configured to cause at least a portion of the fabric member to expand or contract along a circumferential direction, thereby decreasing or increasing the pressure applied to the body part adjacent to the actuator. The fabric member can be thin and stretchable, and can contour the body part over which it is worn. The actuators can cause user controlled variable pressure levels to be applied to the body part, including constant pressure levels as well as time varying synchronous or asynchronous pressure patterns.

A system for assisting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment of a patient includes a defibrillator system including a defibrillator communicatively coupled to a local computing device and configured to receive signals from treatment sensors, a patient support section, and a tilt adjuster coupled to the patient support section. The tilt adjuster is configured to communicatively couple with the defibrillator system, receive a control signal indicative of a target tilt angle from the local computing device, and automatically tilt the patient support section, around a transverse axis, to the target tilt angle in response to the control signal from the local computing device. The system also includes a chest compression device mount disposed on the patient support section and configured to adjustably secure a chest compression device to the patient support section.
