20210339381 · 2021-11-04 ·

An exoskeleton device is provided herein that includes a control unit including a controller. At least one embedded sensor is configured to acquire data. An actuator is in electrical communication with the at least one embedded sensor and the controller. The controller is configured to adjust a level of assistance or resistance provided by the actuator in response to a change in a performance metric as measured by the acquired data.

System And Method For Monitoring Nerve Activity Within A Trachea Of A Patient
20210338164 · 2021-11-04 · ·

An intraoperative nerve monitoring system for monitoring nerve activity within a trachea of a patient. The intraoperative nerve monitoring system includes an endotracheal (ET) tube assembly, which includes an ET tube partially inserted within a trachea and a surface electrode wrapped about the ET tube. The ET tube is configured to monitor nerve activity when the ET tube is partially inserted within the trachea and is contacting a target tissue and to output a nerve signal. The intraoperative nerve monitoring system also includes a pressure sensor assembly configured to sense an amount of pressure between the surface electrode and the target tissue and a console including an output device configured to output indicators based on the monitored nerve activity and the sensed amount of pressure to facilitate proper placement of the ET tube in the trachea and to indicate nerve activity.

Macro/micro-structure of sleep and similar states of consciousness to optimize pain treatment

An apparatus and method for employing the macro- and micro-structure of sleep and similar states of consciousness to optimize pain-treatment are disclosed wherein an objective biomarker of pain-related sleep disturbance guides pain treatment from a sleep perspective. Furthermore, this concept can be extended to states of reduced consciousness such as coma or sedation. Additionally, it could be applied on individuals who are non-communicative due to injury, disease, language issues and/or infancy.
