JAUNDICE DIAGNOSIS PATCH, PATCH AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AND JAUNDICE DIAGNOSIS METHOD USING THE SAME
As a method for diagnosing jaundice of a user based on an image by a jaundice diagnosis device, a jaundice diagnosis image is obtained including a jaundice diagnosis reference device divided into a first area and a second area, and a specific body part of a user located in the first area. The identification information of the jaundice diagnosis reference device inserted in the second area is extracted, and validity authentication of the identification information is requested through an interlocked authentication system. When the validity authentication success message is received from the authentication system, the user is diagnosed with jaundice based on the image of a specific body part located in the first area and the jaundice diagnosis comparison image included in the second area.
BASE PLATE AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY OF A MEDICAL SYSTEM HAVING A LEAKAGE SENSOR
The disclosed is an ostomy system configured to detect a leakage of output between a base plate and/or a sensor assembly part of the ostomy system and a surface of a subject and a method of detecting the leakage of output. The ostomy system including the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part and a monitor device, the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part comprising (i) a first adhesive layer having a distal surface, a proximal surface, and a first plurality of openings, and (ii) an electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes and a masking element between the plurality of electrodes and the first adhesive layer, the masking element having a second plurality of openings aligned with the first plurality of openings of the first adhesive layer, each of the aligned first and second plurality of openings exposes a portion of one of the plurality of electrodes to define one of a plurality of sensor points, the monitor device electrically coupled to the plurality of electrodes of the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part.
Systems and methods for obesity diagnosis and/or treatment
A system for treating a gastrointestinal tract may include a device configured to measure electrical activity at a plurality of locations within a gastrointestinal tract of a patient, a controller configured to compare the measured activity from the plurality of locations to a database of electrical activity corresponding to one or more gastric events, abnormalities, or dysrhythmias. The controller may be configured to determine one or more treatment locations based on the comparison, and cause the device to deliver therapy to the one or more treatment locations.
MOISTURE DETECTING BASE PLATE FOR AN OSTOMY APPLIANCE AND A SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING MOISTURE PROPAGATION IN A BASE PLATE AND/OR A SENSOR ASSEMBLY PART
The disclosure relates to a system for determining and signalling moisture propagation in an adhesive material layer of a base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance. The disclosure further relates to aspects of a base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance and its use in such a system.
BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The biological information measurement system of the present invention includes a test subject-side device provided in a toilet installation room, and a server communicable with the test subject-side device, the test subject-side device includes a sulfur-containing gas sensor sensitive to sulfur-containing gas and outputting detection data, a transmitter-receiver transmitting measurement data including detection data of the sulfur-containing gas detected by the sulfur-containing gas sensor to the server, and the server includes a database in which measurement data including detection data of sulfur-containing gas detected by the sulfur-containing gas sensor is accumulated and recorded with dates and times of defecation acts by being associated with test subject identification information, and server-side data analyzer that analyzes physical condition of a test subject on the basis of a time-dependent variation tendency of the measurement data accumulated and recorded in the database.
INGESTIBLE CAPSULE FOR THE PHOTOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT OF INFECTIONS
An ingestible capsule arranged, in use, to cross a human stomach for carrying out a phototherapic treatment arranged to combat an infection due to the presence of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, said ingestible capsule comprising at least one primary light source arranged to emit an electromagnetic phototherapic wave having a wavelength .sub.1, at least one auxiliary light source arranged to emit an electromagnetic phototherapic wave having a wavelength .sub.2, a wrapper arranged to contain said or each primary light source and said or each auxiliary light source, said wrapper being at least partially transparent to said wavelengths .sub.1 and .sub.2, a control unit arranged to selectively activate said or each primary light source and/or said or each auxiliary light source, and at least one energy source arranged to provide energy for feeding said control unit and/or said light sources.
