The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to an improved system for assessing and treating a wound. Specifically, a wound is identified in a patient by uploading or entering information about the wound and/or patient (e.g., type of wound, wound location, patient history). The wound image is captured, such as through an imaging device (e.g., phone, tablet, computer) and uploaded to the system. The image is then reviewed by a professional, such as a medical professional that specializes in treating a variety of wounds. The disclosed system uses an algorithmic approach to develop a systematic method to integrate selected data about the patient and deliver clinical care suggestions immediately to the patient or caregiver.

An integrated system for injection including an injection device in electronic connection with a communication device is provided. The external communication device may be a handheld electronic device such as a Smartphone or a dedicated reader such as a reader capable of reading information contained on an RFID tag. The injection device includes a needle and a drug delivery portion enclosed within an external housing. Optionally, a plurality of sensors is affixed to the surface of the needle to collect data about the injection and physical characteristics of the patient. The data may be recorded on a data capture module. The electronic chip may be a readable and writable electronic chip such as a non-volatile memory chip. Alternatively, the electronic chip is a passive RFID tag. The injection device may further include a data transmitter for sending information obtained from the data capture module to the external communications device.

Hand-held optical thromboelastographic sensor and method of using the same for simultaneous assessment of multiple parameters of blood coagulation at a point-of-care. The sensor includes an optical system registering laser speckle intensity associated with a stationary blood sample and data-processing circuitry programmed to derive the multiple parameters from speckle intensity. The circuitry may be part of a mobile device configured to operate without communication with a central server and/or data storage.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods of using near infra-red radiation, such as from a near infra-red spectroscopy device, to monitor physical activity in a person. In one aspect, a method of measuring physiological parameters is provided. The method further includes determining a NIRS-derived measure of a tissue of a person using near infra-red spectroscopy over a time period, associating the NIRS-derived measure to the time period to determine a function-related change, and associating the function-related change to a biomechanical function.

A method and related apparatus for deriving mean arterial pressure of a subject, including receiving data relating to at least one cardiac cycle of a bio-signal from the subject; normalizing the received data relating to the at least one cardiac cycle; calculating an area enclosed by the normalized received data to obtain a normalized area; calculating a heart rate of the subject from the at least one cardiac cycle; and deriving the mean arterial pressure from the normalized area and heart rate.

A system and method of generating an enhanced Lund and Browder chart and total body surface area burn score is described herein. In some embodiments, a plurality of images is obtained from of a patient using a camera system. The images may be taken by aligning the patient's body with pose templates presented on a display of the camera system. The non-skin portions of the images may be removed, and skin analysis performed on the skin portion to determine burn location, coverage, and depth. Further, landmarks may be detected in the images to morph and align the images with the pose templates to obtain standard poses. The plurality of images may be combined and presented in two-dimensional and three-dimensional models with labels and the total surface area burn score.

A method of conducting a procedure for a diagnosis of a portion of a patient's human musculoskeletal system, the method comprising a remediation recommendation method comprising the steps of: obtaining patient demographics, applying sensors above and below the joint, and then taking an image of the joint using a mobile device. Next, analyzing the image to determine bone centerlines, then instructing patient via a mobile device to perform a task involving assuming certain positions and performing certain movements, then the patient performing the task while the sensors record data about joint location and movement information. Next, using the data, image analysis and patent demographics to make a recommendation regarding joint ailment remediation.

A physiological information processing method includes: acquiring electrocardiogram data from a subject; acquiring pulse wave data from the subject; measuring a plurality of RR intervals based on the acquired electrocardiogram data; measuring a plurality of pulse wave transit times based on the acquired electrocardiogram data and the acquired pulse wave data; calculating, based on the measured RR intervals and the measured pulse wave transit times during a given time period, a parameter related to correlation between the measured RR intervals and the measured pulse wave transit times; and outputting the calculated parameter.

A system for uroflowmetry is disclosed. The system can include an audio device configured to obtain audio data of urination. The system can include a machine learning module with at least one processor and associated memory, wherein the system is configured to: process the audio data of urination via a machine learning model that is trained based on simulated urine flow data and associated audio data received from a urine flow simulator, and real urine flow data and associated audio data received from a urine flow measuring device, and output the processed audio data of urination to be used in uroflowmetry.

This document describes techniques for, and systems that enable, in-ear health monitoring. The techniques described herein enable early detection of health conditions (e.g., contagious disease) through use of an in-ear health-monitoring and audio device. These techniques prompt a user, often through the user's smart phone, to listen to audio content through the device, which also takes the user's temperature. Through repetitive use, the techniques are capable of determining a temperature differential for the user, which aids in early detection of a contagious disease or other malady.
