The present invention relates to an external counterpulsation system that senses biosignals to monitor a heart condition and performs external counterpulsation on the basis of the monitored heart condition. The external counterpulsation system includes: a compression device wrapping around limbs of a subject to compress or decompress the wrapped limbs; and a controller configured to calculate compression timing and decompression timing for the external counterpulsation by analyzing an electrocardiogram signal and a blood flow rate signal among the sensed biosignals, and control the compression device on the basis of the calculated compression timing and decompression timing. As described above, the present invention can automatically control compression timing and decompression timing, thus ensuring that, unlike the related art technology, the problem of inconvenience that an operator has to control the compression and decompression timings while continuously monitoring procedure is solved, and that operators without specialized knowledge can use the system easily.

The present invention relates to an external counterpulsation system which senses a biosignal to monitor a heart condition and performs external counterpulsation in response to the monitored heart condition. The present invention comprises: a compression device surrounding limbs of a subject to compress the surrounded limbs or release the limbs from the compression; and a control device which controls the compression device to apply test compression to the limbs for a predetermined test period with predetermined test intensity before performing the external counterpulsation, configures personalized maximum compression intensity corresponding to the subject through the test compression, and controls the compression device to perform the external counterpulsation on the basis of the configured maximum compression intensity.

Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) systems and methods are disclosed that measure a blood pressure, and in some examples a beat-to-beat blood pressure, of a patient without restricting blood flow. The NIBP systems determine an efficacy of administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the patient based on the measured blood pressure and are able to optionally output the CPR efficacy or generate user prompts based on the CPR efficacy. Further, the disclosed NIBP systems can generate user instructions to administer further treatment to the patient based on the CPR efficacy.

Systems, devices, and techniques for controlling a compression unit associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. For example, a medical system may include a compression unit configured to apply pressure to a torso region of a patient. The compression unit may be configured to move within space according to at least one degree of freedom. The medical system may further include processing circuitry configured to receive one or more sets of data representative of one or more patient parameters of the patient. Additionally, the medical system may generate, using a deep learning model, an output data set representing a predicted trajectory of at least one patient parameter of the one or more patient parameters, determine a set of control parameters, and control the compression unit to apply the pressure to the torso region of the patient.

A CPR machine (100) is configured to perform, on a patient's (182) chest, compressions that alternate with releases. The CPR machine includes a compression mechanism (148), and a driver system (141) configured to drive the compression mechanism. A force sensing system (149) may sense a compression force, and the driving can be adjusted accordingly if there is a surprise. For instance, driving may have been automatic according to a motion-time profile, which is adjusted if the compression force is not as expected (850). An optional chest-lifting device (152) may lift the chest between the compressions, to assist actively the decompression of the chest. A lifting force may be sensed, and the motion-time profile can be adjusted if the compression force or the lifting force is not as expected.

A sexual aid system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a first sexual aid device comprising a first electro-mechanical device configured to facilitate an achievement of an orgasm within a first user during a session, a sensor configured to measure physiological data of the first user during use of the first electro-mechanical device, and a first processor configured to receive the physiological data from the sensor and transmit information indicative of the physiological data to a network. The system also includes a second sexual aid device comprising a second electro-mechanical device configured to facilitate an achievement of an orgasm within a second user during the session, and a processor configured to receive, from the network, the information indicative of the physiological data and cause the second electro-mechanical device to operate using in part the information indicative of the physiological data.

A method for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes elevating the heart of an individual to a first height relative to a lower body of the individual. The lower body may be in a substantially horizontal plane. The method may also include elevating the head of the individual to a second height relative to the lower body of the individual. The second height may be greater than the first height. The method may further include performing one or more of a type of CPR or a type of intrathoracic pressure regulation while elevating the heart and the head. The first height and the second height may be determined based on one or both of the type of CPR or the type of intrathoracic pressure regulation.

An automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation device includes a movable chest compressor for repeatedly pressing a patient's chest at a preset depth and cycle, a cardiac output measurement unit for measuring a cardiac output of the patient in accordance with the pressurization of the chest compressor and a processor for changing pressing locations by performing control such that the chest compressor moves according to a preset method.
