METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DEVICE FIT USING PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA
Methods and systems are provided for assisting a user of a wearable biosignal monitoring device (2) in adjusting the device to achieve optimum fit and positioning. The biosignal monitoring devices considered use integrated bio sensors (5) to monitor the user’s physiological activity for various purposes such as tracking daily activity patterns, determining mood, and monitoring sleep stages, among others. It is determined either during device setup or during primary use of the device whether the current fit and positioning of the device (2) enable the bio sensors (5) to properly sense the physiological signals needed for the device to perform its primary function. The user is then informed either after initial device setup whether adjustments need to be made in order to optimize device function during primary use, or is informed after primary use whether adjustments need to be made in order to improve device function during future primary use.
Patient day planning systems and methods
Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related patient monitoring systems and methods are provided. A method of monitoring a physiological condition of a patient involves providing, on a display device, a graphical user interface display depicting forecast values with respect to different time periods in the future and including graphical user interface elements to allow a user to adjust a characteristic of an event likely influence the physiological condition of the patient at a respective time period. In response to an adjustment to a graphical user interface element, the method continues by dynamically updating the forecast values on the graphical user interface display using a forecasting model associated with the patient.
Pumping fluid delivery systems and methods using force application assembly
A method of dispensing a therapeutic fluid from a line includes providing an inlet line connectable to an upstream fluid source. The inlet line is in downstream fluid communication with a pumping chamber. The pumping chamber has a pump outlet. The method also includes actuating a force application assembly so as to restrict retrograde flow of fluid through the inlet while pressurizing the pumping chamber to urge flow through the pump outlet. A corresponding system employs the method.
Method and dosing controller for subcutaneous outpatient management
A method of administering insulin includes receiving scheduled glucose time intervals and obtaining glucose data of a patient that includes glucose measurements, glucose times, and insulin dosages previously administered by the patient. The method also includes applying a set of filters to identify which of the glucose measurements associated with at least one of the scheduled time intervals are usable and which of the glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval are unusable. The method also includes aggregating the glucose measurements associated with the at least one scheduled time interval identified as usable to determine a representative aggregate glucose measurement and determining a next recommended insulin dosage for the patient based on the representative aggregate glucose measurement and the insulin dosages previously administered by the patient.
Infusion systems and related personalized bolusing methods
Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary method of operating an infusion device capable of delivering fluid to a patient involves obtaining, by a control system associated with the infusion device, an input meal indication, obtaining historical data for the patient associated with the input meal indication, determining an estimated carbohydrate amount corresponding to the input meal indication based at least in part on the historical data, determining a bolus dosage of the insulin based at least in part on the estimated carbohydrate amount, and operating an actuation arrangement of the infusion device to deliver the bolus dosage of the insulin to the patient.
Extended reality AR/VR system
A system includes a mobile device having one or more cameras to take images; a sensor detecting reflected light from one or more lasers and a diffuser to detect object range or dimension; code for motion tracking, environmental understanding by detecting planes in an environment, and estimating light and dimensions of the surrounding based on the one or more lasers; code to estimate a three-dimensional (3D) volume of an object from multiple perspectives and from projected laser beams to measure size or scale and determine locations of points on the object's surface in a plane or a slice using time-of-flight, wherein positions and cross-sections for different slices are correlated to construct a 3D model of the object, including object position and shape; the device receiving user request to select a content from one or more augmented, virtual, or extended reality contents and rendering a reality view of the environment.
ADJUSTMENT OF MEDICAMENT DELIVERY BY A MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE BASED ON MENSTRUAL CYCLE PHASE
Exemplary embodiments account for differing needs of a user over the menstrual cycle of the user to better control the blood glucose concentration of the user. The exemplary embodiments may be realized in control systems for medicament delivery devices that deliver medicaments, such as medicaments that regulate blood glucose concentration levels. Examples of such medicaments that regulate blood glucose concentration levels include insulin, glucagon, and glucagon peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. The exemplary embodiments are able to better tailor the dosages of the medicament delivered to the user with the medicament delivery device to reduce the risk of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia and help reduce blood glucose concentration excursions.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PASSIVE RESIDUAL LUNG VOLUME REDUCTION AND FUNCTIONAL LUNG VOLUME EXPANSION
The volume of a hyperinflated lung compartment is reduced by sealing a distal end of the catheter in an airway feeding the lung compartment. Air passes out of the lung compartment through a passage in the catheter while the patient exhales. A one-way flow element associated with the catheter prevents air from re-entering the lung compartment as the patient inhales. Over time, the pressure of regions surrounding the lung compartment cause it to collapse as the volume of air diminishes. Residual volume reduction effectively results in functional lung volume expansion. Optionally, the lung compartment may be sealed in order to permanently prevent air from re-entering the lung compartment.
INJECTION DEVICE, INJECTION ASSEMBLY AND MONITORING DEVICE
A monitoring device for monitoring a hypocortiolism patient, the monitoring device comprising:a needle for penetrating a skin of the patient, andan analysis module fluidly connected with the needle, the analysis module comprising: o a first sensor, for measuring an inflammation level representative for the patient; and/or o a second sensor, for measuring a stress level representative for the patient; and wherein the monitoring device is configured to automatically trigger a notification in response to the first sensor measuring an inflammation level exceeding a first pre-defined threshold and/or in response to the second sensor measuring a stress level exceeding a second pre-defined threshold.
Systems and methods for heart failure management
Systems and methods for managing heart failure are described. The system receives physiological information including a first HS signal corresponding to paced ventricular contractions and a second HS signal corresponding to intrinsic ventricular contractions. The system detects worsening heart failure (WHF) using the received physiological information. A signal analyzer circuit can generate a paced HS metric from the first HS signal and a sensed HS metric from the second HS signal, and determine a concordance indicator between the paced and the sensed HS metrics. In response to the detected WHF, the system can use the concordance indicator to generate a therapy adjustment indicator for adjusting electrostimulation therapy, or a worsening cardiac contractility indicator indicating the detected WHF is attributed to degrading myocardial contractility.
