Wearable Wrist Device Electrocardiogram
Provided are systems for measuring an electrocardiogram (ECG) using a wearable device. An example system includes the wearable device. The wearable device has a means for recording an electrical signal from a single wrist of a patient. The wearable device also has a means for detecting a pulse of the patient and recording a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal, via a PPG optical sensor associated with the wearable device. The wearable device further has a means for generating the electrical signal segments being time-locked to the PPG signal by utilizing the PPG signal as a reference signal. Furthermore, the wearable device has a means for summing the electrical signal segments in a given time period and dividing by the number of segments to produce an average ECG waveform.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTRACAVITARY TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING
Systems and methods for measuring and monitoring intracavitary tissue temperature. The system may include a catheter shaft with a circuit board disposed therein, the circuit board having an array of sensors disposed thereon. The catheter shaft may have an opening and an expandable structure surrounding the opening to provide a field of view of the intracavitary tissue for the array of sensors through the opening. The system may include a software-based programming system run on a computer such that a clinician may review information indicative of temperature of the intracavitary tissue, and be alerted if the temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold.
MEDICAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A medical system is disclosed. The medical system can include a patient monitoring device, a patient information system, and a mobile application. The patient monitoring device can be coupled to a patient to monitor one or more physiological parameters. The patient information system can allow the patient to communicate with a clinician. The patient information system can also provide information regarding schedules, medications, and procedures to the patient. The mobile application can be communicatively coupled with the patient monitoring device and the patient information system. The mobile application can allow a clinician to receive, view, and send information to or from the patient monitoring device and the patient information system.
LUMINAL IMPEDANCE DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED CIRCUIT MODULES
Impedance devices with integrated circuit modules and method of using the same to obtain luminal organ information. In one embodiment, a device comprises an elongated body for at least partial insertion into a mammalian luminal organ and having a first conductor extending therethrough, a proximal electrical unit connected to the elongated body to deliver power along the first conductor, and a sensor substrate located at or near a distal end of the elongated body and comprising a circuit module operable and/or configured to direct the sizing portion to obtain sizing data and the pressure sensor to obtain pressure data, and facilitate transmission of the sizing data and/or the pressure data to the proximal electrical unit.
WIRELESS AND RETROFITTABLE IN-SHOE SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME ESTIMATION OF KINEMATIC AND KINETIC GAIT PARAMETERS
A quantitative gait training and/or analysis system includes one or more footwear modules that may include a piezoresistive sensor, an inertial sensor and an independent logic unit. The footwear module functions to permit the extraction of gait kinematics and evaluation thereof in real time, or data may be stored for later reduction and analysis. Embodiments relating to calibration-based estimation of kinematic gait parameters are described.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS WITH A SLEEPING DISORDER AND A DISPOSITION FOR TREATMENT
A system and method includes (i) providing patient data stored in a data repository, (ii) applying a first patient identification algorithm to the patient data to identify an initial group of individuals associated with select physical and health characteristics, (iii) applying a second patient identification algorithm to the patient data associated with the initial group of individuals to identify a narrower subgroup associated with select behavioral characteristics, and (iv) generating patient identifiable information from the patient data to allow for notification. The identification of the initial group is based on a determined likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for individuals meeting or exceeding a first threshold criteria. The identification of the narrower group is based on a determined likelihood of long-term adherence to OSA treatment for individuals meeting or exceeding a second threshold criteria. The notification is of designated entities that one or more of the individuals in the narrower subgroup are preferred individuals for OSA.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING MOVEMENT
A system includes a sensor configured to generate data associated with movements of a resident for a period of time, a memory storing machine-readable instructions, and a control system arranged to provide control signals to one or more electronic devices. The control system also includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to analyze the generated data associated with the movement of the resident, determine, based at least in part on the analysis, a likelihood for a fall event to occur for the resident within a predetermined amount of time, and responsive to the determination of the likelihood for the fall event satisfying a threshold, cause an operation of the one or more electronic devices to be modified.
HIS-BUNDLE PACING FOR ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK
Systems and methods for dynamically controlling His-bundle pacing (HBP) according to an indication of a rate-related or intermittent atrioventricular (AV) block in a subject are disclosed. An exemplary medical system includes an AV conduction monitor to detect an indication of either a presence or an absence of intermittent or rate-related AV conduction disturbance using physiologic information of the subject. In the event that an intermittent or rate-related AV conduction disturbance is present, a control circuit provides a control signal to an electrostimulation circuit to deliver HBP pulses. If there is no indication of intermittent or rate-related AV conduction disturbance, or a previously detected intermittent or rate-related AV conduction disturbance has been terminated, the control circuit withholds or discontinues delivery of the HBP pulses to promote intrinsic ventricular conduction and activation.
EXIT DETECTION SYSTEM WITH OBSTRUCTION REACTION
A person support apparatus, such as a bed, stretcher, cot, recliner, or the like, includes an exit detection system having a plurality of force sensors that support the weight of an occupant positioned on a support surface and obstruction detection system having one or more obstruction sensors. The force sensors are part of an exit detection system that issues an alarm when the occupant exits, or is about to exit, the person support apparatus. The bed exit system can react to detection of an obstacle. The distribution of weight applied to the force sensors is used to determine if the occupant is about to exit the person support apparatus. Compensation is made to the exit detection system for changes in the weight distribution that are not caused by movement of the occupant. Such changes may be due to not only movement of the person support apparatus or components thereof, but obstacles encountered by the person support apparatus or components thereof.
ATTACHED SENSOR ACTIVATION OF ADDITIONALLY-STREAMED PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS FROM NON-CONTACT MONITORING SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
The present technology relates to the field of medical monitoring. Patient monitoring systems and associated devices, methods, and computer readable media are described. In some embodiments, a patient monitoring system includes one or more sensors configured to capture first data related to a patient and a monitoring device configured to receive the first data. In these and other embodiments, the patient monitoring system can include an image capture device configured to capture second data related to the patient. In these and still other embodiments, the one or more sensors can be configured to instruct the patient monitoring system to display the second data.
