A computer assisted system and method for acquisition and processing of medical history, includes facilitating, by a processor, receipt of medical history data corresponding to a patient in a structured format. The history data includes information corresponding to health condition of the patient. The method includes providing a quick response code corresponding to the medical history data of the patient to a physician system. Further, the method includes facilitating, by the processor, receipt of physician observation data from the physician system in response to the quick response code. The physician observation data is appended to the medical history data. The method includes transforming, by the processor, the medical history data of the patient and the physician observation data into a natural language format. Furthermore, the method includes storing, by the processor, the medical history data of the patient in the natural language format in an electronic medical record.

A writing apparatus that writes stored information into a chip which has been embedded in an individual being a living body, a reading apparatus that reads the stored information which is stored in the chip, and a management server. The stored information includes at least chip identification information that enables the chip to be distinguished from other chips, and movement history information that includes a movement history of the individual. The movement history is generated on a basis of a zip code and a date and a time of arrival at a predetermined region corresponding to the zip code. The chip identification information and the movement history information are stored in association with each other in the management server.

A portable data processing device for forming a wireless network includes a chamber configured within a housing; a microprocessor; a power supply; a sensor communicatively coupled to the microprocessor; and data storage media; and a wireless communication module. The microprocessor is configured to broadcast, by the wireless communication module, a device identification signal; listen for an external device identification signal; transmit device capability data; receive external device capability data. The microprocessor is further configured to receive an internal measurement from the sensor; transmit the internal measurement; receive an external measurement from the external device; analyze the internal measurement and the external measurement to determine an analysis result; and transmit the analysis result.

A system for confirming acquisition of a fluid sample is provided. The system includes a wearable electronic device configured to be worn by a user. The device has a housing, at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing, a data transmission interface for sending data to or receiving data from an external electronic device, a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor and the data transmission interface, and a program for acquiring and processing images acquired by the at least one imaging sensor. The system further includes a sampling device for collecting a fluid sample in a sample container and at least one identification tag attached to or integrally formed with the sampling device or sample container. The at least one identification tag includes or is associated with a tracking code.

Using a secure portable reference to medical information, stored on a portable storage medium, various embodiments allow a patient to give to their doctor an easy-to-use access key that will enable access to desired medical information stored on a computer network. The secure portable reference provides greater transportability of medical records to a patient or medical data repository including a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital, while maintaining data security to satisfy medical data privacy regulations and expectations. Some described embodiments use encrypted information inside the secure portable reference to hide, for example, who is allowed access to the stored medical information, and the network location of the stored information. Some embodiments use a secret PIN to authenticate the user attempting access to the referenced medical information. The secure portable reference contains information on network resources used to enable download access to medical information, including medical records and medical images.

A method for discharging fluid from a syringe and for mitigating occlusion conditions includes actuating the plunger of a syringe into a barrel. The method monitors fluid pressure within the barrel of the syringe and determines that an occlusion exists when the fluid pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method actuates the plunger out of the barrel by a predetermined amount in response to the detected occlusion and actuates the plunger of the syringe into the barrel until a measured fluid pressure within the barrel of the syringe exceeds another predetermined threshold.

A peristaltic pump, and related method, are disclosed that includes a cam shaft, a plunger-cam follower, a tube receiver, a spring, a plunger, a door, and a plunger lift lever. The cam shaft includes a plunger cam. The plunger-cam follower engages with the plunger cam of the cam shaft. The spring provides a bias and the plunger is biased toward the tube receiver by the spring. The plunger is coupled to the plunger-cam follower where expansion of the plunger cam along a radial angle intersecting the plunger-cam follower as the cam shaft rotates actuates the plunger away from the tube receiver. The door lever can be actuated between a first position and a second position. The plunger lift lever is coupled to the door lever to actuate the plunger away from the tube receiver when the door lever is actuated to the second position.

The present disclosure provides a method for a neuromodulation treatment of a low urinary tract dysfunction. The neuromodulation method comprises attaching at least one active electrode to at least one leg of the patient in the back of the knee area in an expected location of a peroneal nerve of the at least one leg. Attaching a grounding electrode to the patient's body. Generating electrical pulses by a pulse generator connected to the at least one active electrode and the grounding electrode. Controlling via a control unit a flow of the generated electrical pulses to the at least one active electrode and stimulating by the at least one active electrode the peroneal nerve of the at least one leg of the patient.

A system for mobile carrier-centric data record custodians is provided and includes cellular network interfaces that transmit and receive wireless communication over a cellular network, an electronic medical record (EMR) database that stores EMRs, and a mobile account management server coupled with the cellular network interfaces and the EMR database, the mobile account management server receiving an EMR request associated with a mobile user account over the cellular network, querying the EMR database for a results set having EMRs satisfying the query, generating a plurality of EMR responses to the EMR request as a function of the results set and state information associated with the cellular network, and transmitting the plurality of EMR responses over the plurality of cellular network interfaces to the mobile device via the cellular network, the plurality of EMR responses being formatted for wireless protocols of the cellular network interfaces over which they are transmitted.
