A disposable measuring tool is disclosed for used during the implantation of a penile prosthesis cylinder. The measuring tool permits an accurate measurement of a dilated corpus cavernosum prepared to accept and penile prosthesis cylinder.

Detection and response to arousal activations

Arousal events can be determined for a user associated with a wearable device, such as a user wearing a wearable computing device including one or more sensors. The one or more sensors may obtain EDA information that may determine a sympathetic nervous system response of the user, which may be responsive to an arousal event or an activation. Detection of events that increase the EDA response may provide information to the user regarding arousal events and provide recommendations to the user to address the arousal events to decrease their response.

Implantable device for external urinary control
10821289 · 2020-11-03 ·

The present invention relates to an implantable apparatus for obtaining urinary control and emptying of the urinary bladder. The apparatus operates with a powered member operating from the outside of the urinary bladder assisted by a support structure to discharge urine from the urinary bladder. A control device controls the operation of the powered member. The control device further comprises a source of energy for operating the powered member and other energy consuming parts of the apparatus and a control assembly.

Smart material based penile stimulation erectile dysfunction assistance device

This invention will allow men suffering from full and periodic erectile dysfunction to achieve, or at least assist in the process of achieving a firm and lasting erection. And, for all men, this device will be able to measure blood-flow to the penis, as well as increase sexual pleasure through micro-electronic stimulation to the penis (induce erection). Blood-flow data captured from devices' internal sensors will be processed by software and presented to users via a smart-phone app to provide useful, actionable, and customizable tasks to improve penile and overall sexual performance, health, and wellness.

Device for treatment of aneurysm
10694977 · 2020-06-30 ·

A device for treating a vascular aneurysm of a human or mammal patient, comprising an implantable member adapted to hold fluid, the implantable member being adapted to be placed against an outside of a blood vessel having the aneurysm, exercise a pressure on the aneurysm to prevent or reduce an expansion of the aneurysm, follow an outer contour of the aneurysm, and provide a pressure that is equal or less than the diastolic blood pressure of the human or mammal patient.

Wearable physiological monitoring device

A wearable physiological monitoring device is provided. The wearable physiological monitoring device includes a wearable object, a sensing module and a processing module. The sensing module is disposed on the wearable object and is configured to stretch based on a local displacement of target organ of the under-test person contacted by the wearable object to generate a change of a sensing value thereof. The processing module is configured to calculate a physiological changing mode that includes physiological information and occurrence time information based on the change of the sensing value. The physiological information includes a number, duration, a degree or a combination of the above of the stretching of the wearable object to determine the health condition of the under-test person.

Device and method of unconscious nocturnal penile tumescence diagnosis based on near field communication and progressive sensing

Disclosed herein are a penile tumescence diagnosis device and method. The penile tumescence diagnosis device includes: a plurality of ring sensors configured to measure a body part of a user and generate sensor-sensed information; and a processor configured to generate diagnostic information about the body part of the user based on the sensor-sensed information generated by the plurality of ring sensors. The plurality of ring sensors includes: a first ring sensor configured to have a first threshold length and be disposed on the body part to surround the body part in a ring shape; and a second ring sensor configured to have a second threshold length larger than the first threshold length and be disposed on the body part to surround the body part in a ring shape.

Diagnostic probe for measuring the deformation of an internal cavity
10595752 · 2020-03-24 · ·

The diagnostic probe can be inserted into a vaginal or rectal body endo-cavity of the human body so as to measure the displacement of the walls of the endo-cavity and organs that surround the endo-cavity and so as to measure the displacement and the passive and active resistance of at least one muscle of the perineum. The diagnostic probe includes at least one endo-cavitary body provided with at least two pressure sensors arranged in the same plane and acting either in the same direction or in two opposite directions. The endo-cavitary body can be deformable without opposing resistance and matching the walls of the endo-cavity. The endo-cavitary body includes at least one device for measuring the displacement of the endo-cavitary wall along the three axes X, Y and Z.
