An apparatus for residual limb volume management. Specifically the present invention relates to tapered prosthetic socks used in combination with a measuring template such that, when compressed, a user can see whether or not their residual limb has swelled or shrunk. The point at which the top edge of the socket of the prosthetic stops when in a compressed stance is the “0” mark on the measuring template and any upward or downward movement will be noticed by the user via a baseline drawn onto the prosthetic sock made using the measuring template. A mobile/online application can be implemented to remind the user to regularly check the baseline and instruct the user if corrective action is needed.

Various bathroom devices for the collection of data are described. In one example, a mirror cabinet includes a mirror frame, a sensor cavity, and a controller. The mirror frame is configured to support a mirror substrate that provides a reflection of one or more users in proximity of the mirror cabinet. The sensor cavity coupled to the mirror frame and is configured to support a sensor for detecting a health condition of the one or more users in proximity to the mirror cabinet. A controller is configured to analyze data received from the sensor to determine the health condition.

A system for image segmentation is provided. The system may obtain a target image including an ROI, and segment a preliminary region representative of the ROI from the target image using a first ROI segmentation model corresponding to a first image resolution. The system may segment a target region representative of the ROI from the preliminary region using a second ROI segmentation model corresponding to a second image resolution. At least one model of the first and second ROI segmentation models may at least include a first convolutional layer and a second convolutional layer downstream to the first convolutional layer. A count of input channels of the first convolutional layer may be greater than a count of output channels of the first convolutional layer, and a count of input channels of the second convolutional layer may be smaller than a count of output channels of the second convolutional layer.

A system includes at least one wearable device configured to monitor a bladder volume of a user associated with the at least one wearable device, monitor moisture associated with the user, and transmit information regarding the bladder volume and moisture. The system also includes a display device configured to receive the information regarding the bladder volume and moisture from the at least one wearable device, and display information to the user based on the received information.

A wound therapy system includes a negative pressure circuit configured to apply negative pressure to a wound, a pump fluidly coupled to the negative pressure circuit and operable to control the negative pressure within the negative pressure circuit, a pressure sensor configured to measure the negative pressure within the negative pressure circuit or at the wound and a controller communicably coupled to the pump and the pressure sensor. The controller is configured to execute a pressure testing procedure including applying a pressure stimulus to the negative pressure circuit, observe a dynamic pressure response of the negative pressure circuit to the pressure stimulus using pressure measurements recorded by the pressure sensor, and estimate a wound volume of the wound based on the dynamic pressure response.

A device for compression therapy of a subject's body part including a compression sleeve configured to be surroundingly engageable with the body part, the sleeve having at least one bladder configured to be inflated and deflated such that an enhanced circulation is achieved and a controller configured to calculate a change in the volume of the body part by determining a change in a time required for inflating the at least one bladder from a predetermined vacuum level to a predetermined pressure level obtained during at least two inflation cycles; and to control operation of the compression sleeve based at least on the calculated change in the volume of the body part.

In an embodiment, the present invention is an apparatus, comprising: a foot mat; a depth sensing camera; an elevated foot platform that reduces or prevents rotational movement of a foot; a processor in communication with the depth sensing camera, the processor further configured to calculate the circumference of a user's leg based on data from the depth sensing camera while the user has one foot on the foot mat and one foot on the elevated foot platform, the processor further configured to select a recommended product for the user's knee or ankle from among a set of pre-manufactured candidate products for knees or ankles based at least in part upon the leg circumference of the user; and an output device to display information received from the processor, the information identifying the recommended product to the user.

Computer-implemented method for determining production values for producing a custom-tailored, in particular skin-tight, knitted garment (31) for a limb (3) of a person, comprising the steps of receiving a three-dimensional dataset (11) of the limb (3) acquired using a 3D scan device (21), receiving at least one height value describing the dimension of a knitting row (9) in the lengthwise direction of the limb (3) and at least one total length value for at least one lengthwise section (4) of the garment (31) and determining a number of knitting rows (9) for the at least one section (4) of the garment (31) by dividing the total length value by the height value, evaluating the three-dimensional dataset (11) to derive a circumference information describing the circumference of the limb (3) along at least the length of the limb (3) covered by the at least one section (4), from the circumference information, determining a circumference value for each n-th knitting row (9) or each knitting row (9) except every n-th knitting row (9), wherein n is a natural number, in the at least one section (4), wherein the circumference values are used as and/or for deriving production values for the knitted garment (31).

Dimensions of a surface feature are determined by capturing an image of the surface feature and determining a scale associated with the image. Structured light may be projected onto the surface, such that the position of structured light in the captured image allows determination of scale. A non-planar surface may be unwrapped. The surface may alternatively be projected into a plane to correct for the scene being tilted with respect to the camera axis. A border of the surface feature may be input manually by a user. An apparatus and system for implementing the method are also disclosed.

Systems and methods of monitoring a patient. Exemplary methods include receiving sensor data associated with the patient from a plurality of sensors of a patient monitoring device and determining whether the sensor data satisfies one or more trigger conditions. For each of the trigger conditions satisfied, one or more messages are sent to at least one of the patient monitoring device and an external computing device for display thereby to at least one of the patient, a caregiver, and a support person. Satisfaction of one or more of the trigger conditions may indicate the patient has edema and/or is trending toward decompensation. The sensor data may have been collected from a heart rate sensor, an oximeter, an accelerometer, and/or a sensor configured to detect a distance around a limb of a patient. In some embodiments, the trigger conditions are provided by the patient, caregiver, and/or support person.
