URINE ANALYSIS DEVICES AND METHODS FOR REAL TIME MONITORING OF KIDNEY FUNCTION

Described herein are devices and methods for continuous real time monitoring of kidney function. In various embodiments, a urine analysis device collects sensor data describing one or more properties of urine. The urine analysis device may be integrated with a catheter system to continuously generate sensor data in real time as the urine is collected by the catheter system. Sensor data collected by the urine analysis device may be analyzed by physicians to detect changes in a patients kidney function. If necessary, based on the sensor data, physicians may perform an intervention to improve a patients kidney function.

HEAD INJURY ASSESSMENT BASED ON COMNINATIONS OF BIOMARKERS, COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT AND/OR IMPACT DETECTION
20230010314 · 2023-01-12 ·

Improved assessment of brain injuries, and improved brain injury management, is achieved using a combination of impact-related data derived from instrumented mouthguard devices, human function performance testing, and biomarkers derived from biological fluid (such as saliva and/or blood). The human function performance testing may include brain function performance testing, and/or other forms of human function performance testing. This involves combining a data-driven understanding of a head impact event (based on data collected via an instrumented mouthguard device) with a data-driven understanding of human function performance following that head impact event. The biomarkers may include salivary mRNA and/or ncRNA, and/or blood proteins (for example via a FDA-approved Brain Trauma Indicator test).
