Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a two-layer adhesive and methods of using the same to secure an electronic device to an organism. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a surface of the organism is coated with a first adhesive layer (bottom layer). The first adhesive layer is cured and a surface of the cured first adhesive layer is coated with a second adhesive layer (top layer). An electronic device is positioned on the second adhesive layer prior to curing the second adhesive layer. The second adhesive layer is then cured, thereby embedding the electronic device within the second adhesive layer. The bottom layer and the top layer are selected such that the bottom layer releases upon exposure to a first solvent after a first duration and the top layer releases upon exposure to a second solvent after a second duration more than the first duration.

A method and system are devised for quickly detecting an abnormal concentration of potassium ions in blood from an electrocardiogram. The system includes at least one vector-converting device that includes a processor, a transmitter, at least one memory and at least one storage unit. The at least one storage includes a model data module and a predicting and converting module. The model data module includes data of a model of the concentration of potassium in the blood. The model of the concentration of potassium in the blood includes at least one reference electrocardiogram and corresponding reference data of the concentration of potassium in the blood. The predicting and converting module converts an electrocardiogram into a corresponding predicted concentration of potassium in the blood according to the reference concentration of potassium in blood. The vector conversions device is connected to at least one electrocardiogram generator and at least one monitor. Thus, the electrocardiogram obtained by the electrocardiogram generator is converted to the corresponding predicted concentration of potassium in the blood. The corresponding predicted concentration of potassium in the blood is shown on a monitor to facilitate the medical personnel to take proper actions to reduce the risks of sudden cardiac death.

A virtual or augmented reality system is disclosed which is capable of both (i) evaluating prospective implantable neurostimulator patient candidates, and (ii) determining optimal stimulation settings for already-implanted neurostimulation patients. Physiological sensors are included with the system to provide objective measurements relevant to a patient's symptoms, such as pain in a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) system. Such objective measurements are determined during the presentation of various virtual or augmented environments, and can be useful to determining which patients are suitable candidates to consider for implantation. Stimulation settings for already-implanted patients may be adjusted while presenting a virtual or augmented environment to the patient, with objective measurements being determined for each stimulation setting. Such objective measurements can then be used to determine optimal stimulation settings for the patient.

A method for controlling a user interface of a modular energy system. The modular energy system comprises a header module and a display screen on which the user interface is displayed. The modular energy system can detect attachment of a first module thereto, control the user interface to display one or more first user interface elements corresponding to the first module, detect attachment of a second module to the modular energy system, control the user interface to resize the one or more first user interface elements to accommodate display of one or more second user interface elements corresponding to the second module, and control the user interface to display the one or more second user interface elements. The various UI elements can correspond to the particular module type that is being connected to the modular energy system.

A sleep-aiding audio signal updating method and apparatus in the artificial intelligence (AI) field is provided. The method includes: obtaining a first biological signal collected when a first audio signal in a sleep-aiding audio library is played, where the first biological signal is a biological signal of a first user; determining a sleep quality of the first user based on the first biological signal; and updating the sleep-aiding audio library based on the sleep quality of the first user, so that a sleep-aiding audio signal can be updated, to provide a proper sleep-aiding audio signal for a user, and ensure a sleep-aiding effect.

A method includes defining multiple different types of arrhythmias. Similarity measures are defined for the types of arrhythmias. A set of EP signals is received, the set acquired in a heart of a patient. Using the similarity measures, the set of EP signals is partitioned into at least two clusters, each cluster containing EP signals complying with a respective similarity measure for a respective type of arrhythmia. The clusters are indicated to a user.
