This present invention relates to a vital sign scanning apparatus that comprises a portal for individuals to pass through. The vital sign scanning apparatus detects the vital signs and other physiological conditions of a user passing through the portal which is comprised of two vertical sidewalls connected via a top wall or member. The sidewalls and/or top member are comprised of a plurality of integrated sensors including, without limitation, a heart rate sensor, SpO2 sensor, facial recognition scanner, and an infrared temperature sensor to detect the body temperature of the user passing through the portal. The sensors are in communication with a processor and a display device that displays the obtained vital sign values along with any abnormality notifications.

Self-administered, non-invasive, transcutaneous viral detector
20220015637 · 2022-01-20 · ·

A non-invasive, transcutaneous, real-time viral detection device that is configured for self-administration, e.g., at a user's home. In one embodiment, and after positioning the device relative to the human body part (e.g., the user's finger), light sources in the device are activated (excited), and resulting data captured. In particular, a set of Raman spectra are collected from a configured set of emitters and detectors in the device and delivered to a nearby receiver, preferably wirelessly. The receiver filters and de-convolves the Raman spectra producing a data set representative of the constituent elements in the user's tissue of interest. The data set is applied against a statistical classifier, e.g., a neural network that has been trained to recognize and distinguish the absence or presence of viral components, e.g., C-19, or its associated blood-borne acute phase reactants. The classifier outputs an appropriate indicator, preferably in real-time, providing the user with an immediate indication of whether C-19 (or other virus of interest) is present.

A sensing system comprising a hand-held sensing device with a vibracoustic sensor module (VSM). The VSM comprises a voice coil component comprising a coil holder supporting wire windings; a magnet component comprising a magnet supported by a frame, a magnet gap configured to receive at least a portion of the voice coil component in a spaced and moveable manner; a connector connecting the voice coil component to the magnet component, the connector being compliant and permitting relative movement of the voice coil component and the magnet component; a diaphragm configured to induce a movement of the voice coil component in the magnet gap responsive to incident acoustic waves; a housing for retaining the vibroacoustic sensor module having a handle end and a sensor end, the sensor end having an opening, the VSM positioned such that at least a portion of the diaphragm extends across the opening.

System and method for applying a reflectance modifying agent to improve the visual attractiveness of human skin

A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, an area of human skin, and applies a modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level, typically to make the skin appear more youthful and so more attractive. The system scans the frexel, identifies unattractive attributes, and applies the RMA, typically with an inkjet printer. The identified attributes relate to reflectance and may refer to features such as irregular-looking light and dark spots, age-spots, scars, and bruises. Identified attributes may also relate to the surface topology of the skin, for more precisely enhancing surface irregularities such as bumps and wrinkles. Feature mapping may be used, for example to make cheeks appear pinker and cheekbones more prominent. The RMA can be applied in agreement with identified patterns, such as adding red to a red frexel, or in opposition, such as adding green or blue to a red frexel, according to idealized models of attractiveness.

USER INTERFACE FOR AN AUDIOLOGICAL TEST SYSTEM
20210267496 · 2021-09-02 ·

A audiological test system is provided for audiological testing of a patient situated at a test location, comprising a first display screen for monitoring of the audiological test system and that is positioned outside a viewing field of the patient when the patient is situated at the test location, a second display screen positioned within the viewing field of the patient when the patient is situated at the test location, a first switch located at the first display screen and adapted for control of the second display screen in such a way that predetermined information relating to operation of the audiological test system is not displayed on the second display screen upon activation of the first switch, and a second switch located at the second display screen and adapted for control of the second display screen in such a way that the predetermined information relating to operation of the audiological test system is displayed on the second display screen upon activation of the second switch.

Location-based user authorization for an infant care device

A method of controlling an infant care device includes identifying, via a location tracking system, a device location of the infant care device within a care facility by locating a device location tag on the infant care device, and also identifying any local clinician tags worn by a clinician within a predetermined area around the device location. The local clinician tags are compared to a list of authorized clinician tags to identify whether at least one local authorized clinician tag is within the predetermined area around the infant care device. User input is received at a user interface associated with the infant care device to modify operation of the infant care device. Operation of the infant care device is modified based on the user input only if at least one local authorized clinician tag is within the predetermined area around the infant care device at the time of receiving the user input.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEMI-AUTOMATED MEDICAL PROCESSES

Presented are systems and methods for the accurate acquisition of medical measurement data of a body part of patient. To assist in acquiring accurate medical measurement data, an automated diagnostic and treatment system provides instructions to the patient to allow the patient to precisely position a medical instrument in proximity to a target spot of a body part of patient. Based on a series of images acquired from a kiosk camera and an instrument camera, these instructions are generated. Subsequent images from instrument camera are analyzed by automated diagnostic and treatment system utilizing a database and deep convolution neural network (DCNN) to obtain measured medical data. An error threshold measurement by the automated diagnostic and treatment system may determine the accuracy of the instrument positioning and the medical measured data. The measured medical data may be communicated to a physician.
