Medical device data integration apparatus and methods

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for integrating medical device data are disclosed. In an example embodiment, an integration engine receives infusion therapy progress data from an infusion pump and renal failure therapy progress data from a renal failure therapy machine. The integration engine determines a plurality of different types of infusion parameters, determines a plurality of different types of renal failure therapy parameters, and causes a combination user interface to display the plurality of infusion parameters, the plurality of renal failure therapy parameters, and mathematical operations for selection by an operator. The integration engine enables the operator to create derivative data by receiving a selection of an infusion parameter, a renal failure therapy parameter, and a mathematical operation. The integration engine then causes the combination user interface to display the derivative data in conjunction with the infusion therapy progress data and the renal failure therapy progress data.

Multi-function thermostat with health monitoring features

A multi-function thermostat for a building includes a sensor configured to measure an environmental condition of a building space, a communication interface, and a processing circuit. The communications interface is configured to communicate with an emergency server and receive occupant health data from a health sensor configured to monitor an occupant. The processing circuit is configured to determine a health metric associated with the occupant based on the occupant health data and cause the communications interface to send a distress message to the emergency server when the health metric associated with the occupant indicates a medical emergency.

Pulse width modulation with two or more different threshold levels

A magnetic sensor may determine information, associated with a magnet wheel, that is associated with a rotational speed of the magnet wheel or a rotational direction of the magnet wheel. The magnetic sensor may determine information, associated with the magnetic sensor, that is associated with a property of the magnetic sensor. The magnetic sensor may provide a signal including the information associated with the magnet wheel and the information associated with the magnetic sensor. The signal may be provided using a pulse width modulation technique associated with at least three signal levels and at least two signal thresholds. A period of time during which the information associated with the magnetic sensor is provided may at least partially overlap a period of time during which the information associated with the magnet wheel is provided, or may be provided without a time offset from the information associated with the magnet wheel.

System and method for reporting observed events/objects from smart vehicles

An event/object reporting system is provided using data from sensors of a smart vehicle, which events/objects are observed by the smart vehicle but do not involve the smart vehicle. For this purpose, a computer-implemented method includes collecting, by the computer device, sensor data from at least one sensor on the smart vehicle regarding events/objects external to the smart vehicle, analyzing, by the computer device, the sensor data to detect whether a predetermined event and/or object external to the smart vehicle is found in the sensor data, and transmitting, by the computer device, portions of the sensor data pertaining to the predetermined event and/or object to an external server based on the detecting.

Systems and methods for communicating data

A wearable medical device includes an electrode assembly having a plurality of ECG sensing electrodes configured to monitor a cardiac condition of a patient using the device, a call button to initiate a call with a remote location and a transceiver configured to communicate information to and from the wearable medical device. The device includes a memory and a controller having at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory. The instructions include receiving, via actuation of the call button, a request to initiate a communication link with the remote location, providing, via a user interface, a confirmatory prompt that the patient indicate confirmation to proceed with the request to initiate the communication link with the remote location, and initiating, via the transceiver, the communication link to the remote location responsive to the indication of the confirmation to proceed with the request to initiate the communication link.

Vehicle tracking techniques

A vehicle monitoring system, includes a vehicle database, which includes information associated with a plurality of vehicles. The vehicle monitoring system also includes a sensor database, which includes information captured by a sensor of an observing vehicle, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may generate a request to determine information associated with a target vehicle and to transmit the request to the sensor in response to determining that the information captured by the sensor does not include the information associated with the target vehicle. The sensor captures the information associated with the target vehicle based at least in part on the request. The one or more processors may also receive and store the information associated with the target vehicle from the sensor. Further, the one or more processors may output the information associated with the target vehicle to a computing device.

Sensor data to identify catastrophe areas

A computer-implemented method for generating an automated response to a catastrophic event, that includes (1) analyzing a sample set of data generated in association with a catastrophic event to determine a threshold pattern; (2) receiving, with customer permission or affirmative consent, home sensor data from a smart home controller via wireless communication or data transmission, the home sensor data including data regarding at least one of (i) structural status; (ii) wind speed; (iii) availability of electricity; (iv) presence of water; (v) temperature; (vi) pressure; and/or (vii) presence of pollutants in the air and/or water; (3) determining, based upon or from computer analysis of the home sensor data, whether the home sensor data indicates a match to the threshold pattern; and (4) automatically generating a response if the home sensor data indicates a match to the threshold pattern. As a result, catastrophic events and responses thereto may be improved through usage of a remote network of home sensors.
