The present invention relates to a stretchable nano-mesh bioelectrode having excellent air permeability and durability. Specifically, the stretchable nano-mesh bioelectrode includes a nanofiber elastic mesh sheet including polymer nanofibers formed by electrospinning; and a metal nanowire network having a portion impregnated onto the nanofiber elastic mesh sheet.

Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for luminal network navigation. Some aspects relate to incorporating respiratory frequency and/or magnitude into a navigation system to implement patient safety measures. Some aspects relate to identifying, and compensating for, motion caused by patient respiration in order to provide a more accurate identification of the position of an instrument within a luminal network.

A device and/or method to determine a sleep-wake status, such as in association with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) care.

An apparatus can have a computing component. The computing component can be configured to receive a wireless transmission from an implanted device, verify an identity of the implanted device by verifying security data from the implanted device, and perform an authentication procedure, in response to verifying the identity of the implanted device, to determine whether the transmission is authentic by determining whether a digital signature of the transmission is authentic. The apparatus can be configured to wirelessly charge the implanted device in response to the computing component determining that the digital signature is authentic.

A health monitoring system comprises at least one sensor configured to measure at least one parameter relating to a condition of a subject; and a health monitoring module in communication with the at least one sensor and configured to receive from the at least one sensor a measurement of the at least one parameter; based on the measurement, generate a message; and send the message to a health operator related to the subject. Moreover, in some embodiments, the health monitoring module is further configured to determine a confidence factor for the measurement. Further, in some embodiments the health monitoring module is also configured to receive from the at least one sensor a plurality of measurements of the at least one parameter; derive a trend for the plurality of measurements; and based on the trend, determine a health state for the subject.

A method includes receiving respiration data associated with respiration of a user from a respiration monitoring device that is positioned inside the user adjacent to a thoracic cavity of the user. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the respiration data associated with respiration of the user, a respiration signal for the user. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the respiration signal, a predicted start time for a future inhalation of the user. The method also includes causing a stimulation device to provide electrical stimulation to one or more branches of a nerve of the user at the predicted start time, the stimulation device being positioned inside the user adjacent to a tongue of the user and being physically separated from the respiration monitoring device.

The present invention discloses a holder carrying thereon a sensor to measure a physiological signal of an analyte in a biological fluid, wherein the sensor has a signal detection end and a signal output end, and the holder includes an implantation hole being a channel for implanting the sensor and containing a part of the sensor, a fixing indentation containing the sensor, a filler disposed in the fixing indentation to retain the sensor in the holder, and a blocking element disposed between the implantation hole and the fixing indentation to hold the sensor in the holder and restrict the filler in the fixing indentation.

Disclosed is an implant intended to be introduced into a human or animal body cavity, and includes two walls intended to grip between them a biological protuberance present in the cavity in order to attach the implant to the biological protuberance. Each wall includes a structural element having corrugations such that the structural element is folded up on itself several times, enabling the wall to be folded up before the introduction of the implant, then deployed inside the cavity.

A processing subsystem generates perceived images from information bearing nerve impulses that are transmitted from a subject's eye(s) to a visual processing region of the subject's brain along one or more nerves in response to the subject viewing a real-world scene. The processing subsystem generates display images based on the perceived images, and controls a display device to display the display images to the subject. In certain embodiments, the processing subsystem generates the display images by manipulating or modifying the perceived images to include virtual images, and provides a type of virtual pointing on the display images that is used to invoke one or more actions.

Systems and methods to evaluate a joint implant device are provided. The joint implant device can include a prosthesis body having a first end and a second end. The first end can couple with a first joint component and the second end can couple with a second joint component. The prosthesis body can include a first support. The prosthesis body can include a first gear rotatably coupled with the first support. The prosthesis body can include a second support movably coupled with the first support. The second support can include a second gear that can engage with a portion of the first gear. The prosthesis body can include a third support. The third support can movably couple with the second support. The third support can move relative to the first support with activation of the first gear.
