Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to predicting infection of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise illuminating a patient fluid in a fluid conduit from a plurality of illumination directions, measuring an optical characteristic of the illuminated patient fluid using one or more sensors, and predicting an infection state of the patient based at least in part on the measured optical characteristic.

A computer-implemented method of adjusting enteral feeding of a patient by an enteral feeding controller, comprising: computing an estimate of energy expenditure of the patient based on oxygen measurements and carbon dioxide measurements of the patient, computing a target composition and target feeding rate for the enteral feeding according to the computed estimate of energy expenditure, when the target composition and target feeding rate differ from a current enteral feeding composition and feeding rate by a requirement, generating instructions for adjustment, by an enteral feeding controller, of the rate of delivery of the enteral feeding according to the target composition, wherein the receiving the oxygen measurement, receiving the carbon dioxide measurement, and computing the estimate of energy expenditure are performing iteratively for every first time interval, and the generating instructions for adjustment are performed for a second time interval that is larger than the first time interval.

A measuring device includes a weighing unit configured to measure a mass value of a urine bag, a calculation unit configured to calculate at least one of a voided volume and a urinary output per unit time on the basis of the mass value weighed by the weighing unit, a touch panel display configured to display urinary output information related to at least one of the voided volume and the urinary output per unit time calculated by the calculation unit, and an output unit configured to generate a code including the urinary output information, output the code to the touch panel display, transmit the urinary output information by wireless communication, and/or print the urinary output information or the code.

An urinary pumping device for generating a fluid flow through a urethra of a patient includes an activation arrangement configured to induce intermittent compression and release of the urethra, and a mounting structure to mount and unmount the activation arrangement to a body of the patient. The mounting structure is configured to position the activation arrangement on the body of the patient such that the urethra of the patient can be intermittently compressed and released by the activation arrangement.

A urine quantity measurement device (100) includes a suspension section (4), a sensor, a controller, a housing (30), and an attachment section (2). A urine collection container (C) is suspended from the suspension section (4). The urine collection container (C) is for collecting urine from a person (P) lying on a bed (B). The sensor outputs a signal indicating a weight of the urine collection container (C) based on a force acting on the suspension section (4) from the urine collection container (C). The controller generates output data based on the signal. The housing (30) houses the sensor and the controller. The attachment section (2) is arranged on the bed (B) and supports the housing (30). The output data indicates the weight of the urine collection container or a quantity of the urine collected in the urine collection container.

An example device includes memory and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a first baseline value of dissolved oxygen in a fluid and determine a second baseline value of a total oxygen output in the fluid. The processing circuitry is also configured to receive, from a first sensor, a first signal indicative of an amount of dissolved oxygen in the fluid and receive, from a second sensor, a second signal indicative of the output of the fluid. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) based at least in part on the first baseline value, the second baseline value, the first signal, and the second signal.

A system and method for assessing toilet user health and wellness is disclosed. The system comprises a toilet bowl adapted to receive excreta from a user; a sensor which detects at least one property of the user or excreta and records a timestamp associated with the property; and a processor which analyzes the property and uses the time stamp to correlate the property with data from previous events to assess one or more health or wellness conditions; wherein the correlation of the date stamp comprises correlating events that take place during the same segment of the day. The method comprises providing a system comprising a toilet bowl adapted to receive excreta from a user; a sensor which detects at least one property of the user or excreta and records the time of the excreta event; and a processor which analyzes the timing of excreta events and correlates the receiving excreta into the toilet bowl; obtaining data from the sensor and recording it; correlating data from separate events based on the time of day when the events occurred; and using the correlated data to monitor trends and analyze trends to assess the user's health and wellness.

A fluid container measurement system is configured to suspend a load measurement assembly a distance above a support surface. The load measurement assembly houses a load cell and a measurement control circuit. The measurement control circuit is coupled to the load cell and configured to receive electrical signals indicative of a force imposed on the load cell. Electrical signals generated by the load cell indicative of the force exerted on the load cell can be used to measure the fluid container attached to the load cell linkage member. Methods of measuring a fluid container include attaching a fluid container to a fluid container attachment region and displaying the load measurement on a display adjustably attached to an upper surface of the housing of the load measurement assembly.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to apparatus and methods for automatic fluid flow system connectors. The system generally includes a load cell interface coupled to a console and a ring connector coupled to a fluid collection system. The ring connector can be releasably engaged with the load cell using a push-button actuated locking mechanism. Embodiments of the locking mechanism can include a latch and aperture engagement, a shelf and ledge engagement, or a track and channel engagement, or combinations thereof. The ring connector and load cell can include electrical contacts configured to engage along an axis that extends perpendicular to a surface on which the electrical contacts are disposed. This is believed to reduce wear on the electrical contacts, thereby extending the usable life of the system.

In one example of the description, a device may have an elongated body defining a lumen. The elongated body may have a proximal portion and a distal portion. An anchoring member may be positioned on the proximal portion of the elongated body. A first temperature sensor may sense a first temperature of a fluid at a first location in the lumen. A second temperature sensor may sense a second temperature of the fluid at a second location in the lumen. The first location may be proximal to the second location. A heating member may be located proximal to the second temperature sensor. The heating member may heat the fluid within the lumen.
