Apparatus, system and methods are described for providing a health care provider (HCP) with an enhanced reality perceptual experience for surgical, interventional, therapeutic, and diagnostic use. The apparatus, system and methods make use of a combination of sensors and audio visual data to cross-correlate information, and present the correlated information to the HCP on to one or more platforms for use during a diagnostic, interventional, therapeutic, or surgical procedure.

Techniques for automated titration of CPAP device for a subject include receiving multiple ultrasound images representing a cross section of an airway in a neck of the subject at corresponding different times. Multiple different positive pressure values imposed by a device on the airway of the subject are also received at each of the corresponding times. For each of the ultrasound images, a mask of pixels associated with an air-tissue interface is automatically formed, and a value of a statistic of pixels within the mask is automatically determined. A titration pressure for a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device is automatically determined based on the positive pressures and the value of the statistic for each of the ultrasound images. Output data that indicates the titration pressure for the CPAP device is presented on a display device, such as by operating the CPAP device itself at the titration pressure.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for facilitating medical imaging of a subject. The apparatus comprises a medical imaging device receiver configured to receive a medical imaging device, at least one auxiliary equipment receiver configured to receive an auxiliary equipment for placement at a target portion of the subject, and a sound wave manipulation module arranged to direct transmission of sound waves between the medical imaging device and the subject, wherein an image of the target portion is formed by the medical imaging device for guiding placement of the auxiliary equipment. In particular, the medical imaging device is an ultrasound probe, the auxiliary equipment is a needle, catheter or endoscope, while the sound wave manipulation module comprises a sound wave deflection surface arranged to alter a direction of transmission of at least part of the sound waves. The present disclosure also relates to a method of deploying the apparatus.

An electronic device includes a housing, a first printed circuit board (PCB) provided within the housing, a second PCB provided within the housing, and a battery. The second PCB is separate and distinct from the first PCB and is communicatively coupled to the first PCB. The battery is located in a space separating the first PCB and the second PCB. The battery is configured to provide power to the first PCB and the second PCB.

A system includes at least one wearable device configured to monitor a bladder volume of a user associated with the at least one wearable device, monitor moisture associated with the user, and transmit information regarding the bladder volume and moisture. The system also includes a display device configured to receive the information regarding the bladder volume and moisture from the at least one wearable device, and display information to the user based on the received information.

An automated 3D mapping and display system includes automated ultrasound probe position registration, calculation of the position of each pixel in the ultrasound image in reference to selected anatomical references, and storage of specified information on command. The system, during real time ultrasound scanning, enables ultrasound probe position and orientation to be continuously displayed over a body part diagram, thereby facilitating scanning and images interpretation of stored information. The system can record single or multiple ultrasound free hand frames in a video sequence or cine loop wherein multiple 2D frames of one or more video sequences corresponding to a scanned volume can be reconstructed in 3D volume images corresponding to the scanned region, using known 3D reconstruction algorithms. In later examinations, the exact location and position of the transducer can be recreated along 3D or 2D axis points enabling known targets to be viewed from an exact, known position.

An ultrasound system is disclosed comprising an ultrasound transducer array (100) comprising a plurality of ultrasound transducer cells (130), each of said cell having an independently adjustable position and/or orientation such as to conform an ultrasound transmitting surface of the cell to a region of a body and a controller (140). The controller is configured to register the respective ultrasound transducer cells by simultaneously operating at least two ultrasound transducer cells in a transmit mode in which the cells transmit distinguishable ultrasound signals and operating the remaining ultrasound transducer cells in a receive mode. The controller extracts time-of-flight information of the respective ultrasound signals between transmitter and receiver and by systematically selecting different ultrasound transducer cells as transmitters, the controller collects sufficient time-of-flight information from which the respective position and/or relative orientation of the ultrasound transducer cells within the ultrasound transducer array may be derived. A method for operating the ultrasound system in this manner as well as a computer program product is also disclosed.

A device for the prevention of stroke is provided that has a processor, a compression system, a compression member, and a vascular probe carried by the compression member. The vascular probe senses a parameter of a circulation system from a closed neck artery that is not being externally accessed. The processor processes the closed parameter and based upon this processing communicates with the compression system to instruct the compression system to actuate the compression member. The compression member and vascular probe are external to the interior of the patient when the vascular probe senses the closed parameter of the circulation system.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for visualizing a target anatomy of a patient in preparation of a medical procedure. A system can have transducers defining a grid to collect data about the target anatomy. A user interface (22014) can be disposed on area of the system to visualize the target anatomy. The visualization can include a virtual representation (22016) formed by an imager processor based on the data collected by the transducers. The method can include positioning the visualization device at an orientation where the transducers face the target anatomy. The method can further include adjusting the position of the visualization device to a target anatomy displayed on the virtual representation. The method can further include directing a medical instrument towards a target displayed on the virtual representation.
