A wearable automated peritoneal dialysis (“APD”) machine is disclosed herein. In an example, the APD machine includes a delivery system connected to a dialysis fluid container and a catheter connected to a peritoneal cavity of a patient. The delivery system includes a pump for pumping fresh dialysis fluid from the dialysis fluid container to the patient, and pumping used dialysis fluid from the patient to the dialysis fluid container. The delivery system also includes a control unit configured to control the pump using a flow rate measured by a flow sensor and a pressure measured by a pressure sensor. The APD machine also includes a clothing item to be worn by the patient. The clothing item includes a first section to retain the dialysis fluid container, a heating element positioned adjacent to the first section for warming the fresh dialysis fluid, and a second section to retain the delivery system.

A wearable therapeutic device to facilitate care of a subject is provided. The wearable therapeutic device can include a garment having a sensing electrode. The garment includes at least one of an inductive element and a capacitive element, and a controller identifies an inductance of the inductive element or a capacitance of the capacitive element, and determines a confidence level of information received from the sensing electrode based on the inductance or the capacitance. The wearable therapeutic device also includes an alarm module coupled with the controller and configured to provide a notification to a subject based on the confidence level.

A bra (1) for use in measuring biosignals of a wearer, a garment (120) comprising such a bra (1) and a method of manufacture. The bra (1) comprises a front region (2); a rear region (4); a pair of side regions (6, 8) extending between the front region (2) and the rear region (4); and a measuring apparatus (100) comprising a sensor assembly (104) comprising one or more electrodes (106, 108, 110). One of the side regions (6, 8) comprises a mounting arrangement for removably receiving an electronics module (102) of the measuring apparatus (100). The electronics module (102) is arranged to receive measurement signals from the one or more electrodes (106, 108, 110). The electronics module (102) may be located in a pocket (54) provided on or in one of the side regions (6, 8), optionally a hidden pocket.

The systems, methods, apparatuses, and articles disclosed herein provide a new approach to treatment symptoms, such as proprioceptive dysfunction and vestibular disorders, which may be caused by certain types of human ailments. According to the present disclosure, a wearable article may include one or more limb sections and a resilient member may be provided along a length of each of the one or more limb sections and configured to generate a resistance force. Adjustments to the resistance force provided by the resilient member(s) may be adjusted using cord locks. As a user wearing the wearable article moves, the resistance force is applied to the user's limbs. Strain gauges may be provided to measure the resistance force(s), which enables verification that the resilient members are sized and configured to provide an appropriate amount of resistance force to a user and may improve programs and regimens designed to treat such ailments.

A wearable therapeutic device to facilitate care of a subject is provided. The wearable therapeutic device can include a garment having a sensing electrode. The garment includes at least one of an inductive element and a capacitive element, and a controller identifies an inductance of the inductive element or a capacitance of the capacitive element, and determines a confidence level of information received from the sensing electrode based on the inductance or the capacitance. The wearable therapeutic device also includes an alarm module coupled with the controller and configured to provide a notification to a subject based on the confidence level.

The present invention refers to a wearable, individual, customized and different sized technology for men and women, composed of electrodes, conductive track and airtight container for medicines, coupled to one another, and a mini electrocardiogram (ECG) apparatus containing a GSM (Global System Mobile) modem and a GPS (Global Positioning System) or a Bluetooth system which, through a wireless network specification within a personal scope (Wireless Personal Area Networks—PANs) deemed as PAN-type or even WPAN, the electrical signal acquisition begins when the user press the button down. It is in the field of medical, recreational and/or sport applications, aiming at monitoring patients at high cardiovascular risk, being possible to diagnose it as soon as possible, aiming at shortening time to definite treatment of those who present acute coronary syndrome (ACS), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute atrial fibrillation-type (AAF) cardiac arrhythmias, and other cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiac pathologies capable to be detected by the electrocardiographic trace. Moreover the invention has tools to analyze a bunch of data—big data analytics and deeplearning—by utilizing artificial intelligence. Finally, the invention also has a module to proper administer the drug contained into the airtight container.

An image of a garment is obtained (101). The garment comprises a marker located on an outside surface of the garment. The marker comprises a code string identifying the garment encoded into a visual symbol. The image is processed to generate a data string representing the visual symbol (102). The data string is used to access activity data associated with a sensor of the garment identified by the code string. The system comprises the garment and one or more electronic devices operable to perform the method.

Medical apparatuses for securing, protecting, retaining, and/or concealing various medical devices such as catheters or electrical leads are disclosed herein. The medical apparatus can be a garment which is for use by a patient having a central venous catheter in place. Medical garments as disclosed herein can be used for a wide variety of medical devices attached to a patient, by implantation or otherwise, for varying lengths of time. Medical garments described herein may be used with any of a variety of medical devices which include or comprise one or more conduits used for medical treatment or diagnosis, including conduits which comprise catheters as well as electrical conduits such as electrical leads.

The present invention relates to a body carrier system for a mobile device, comprising a vest-like carrying element, a back part, two shoulder straps connected to the back part and a hip belt connected to the back part, and a two-part holding element for the mobile measuring device, whose both sub-elements can be reversibly fixed to the vest-like carrying element, as well as reversibly connected to each other, wherein each shoulder strap is equipped with welts in the front and/or wherein spaced welts are provided on the back part of the vest-like carrying element, and wherein on each of the two sub-elements of the two-part holding element welt guides are provided, so that the welt guides can be engaged with the welts.

A temperature-sensing face covering, such as a facemask or a face shield, with a temperature sensor and display unit therein to provide for hands free temperature readings that go wherever the individual goes and continue to measure the individual's temperature throughout the day. The temperature-sensing face covering is simple and does not require the sites of work or other places to have any additional equipment, and provides continual readings that could very easily change throughout the day and be missed because at the beginning of the day the individual did not have a fever.
