Systems and methods for monitoring a receiver assembly configured to detect an ingestible event marker signal, the receiver including a disposable component and a reusable component. The methods can include monitoring the skin impedance experienced by the electrodes of the receiver assembly to determine whether the receiver assembly has poor contact quality or is off-body to notify the user accordingly. The methods can also include monitoring a power source level of the receiver assembly, which can be normalized according to the temperature of the receiver assembly, to determine when the power source is at a critical level to notify the user accordingly.

Methods, devices and a system for disease management are provided that employ diagnostic testing devices (e.g., blood glucose meters) and medication delivery devices (e.g., insulin delivery devices) for providing data to a repository in real-time and automatically. Repository data can be analyzed to determine such information as actual test strip use, patient health parameters outside prescribed ranges, testing and medication delivery compliance, patient profiles or stakeholders to receive promotional items or incentives, and so on. Connected meters and medication delivery devices and repository data analysis are also employed to associate a diagnostic test to a mealtime based on timing of a therapeutic intervention performed by an individual.

An ear-worn electronic monitoring system includes an on-ear component comprising a housing configured for placement on, in or about the wearer's ear. The on-ear component comprises a power source and a first interface coupled to the power source. The monitoring system also includes an in-ear component comprising a housing configured for deployment at least partially within an ear canal of the wearer. The in-ear component comprises a second interface configured to couple to and decouple from the first interface, a controller coupled to a memory, one or more physiologic sensors coupled to the controller and memory, and power management circuitry coupled to the controller. The power management circuitry comprises a wireless power receiver configured to receive power from a wireless powering arrangement. The power management circuitry is further configured to receive power from the power source of the on-ear component when the second interface is coupled to the first interface.

Methods and apparatus for providing data processing and control for use in a medical communication system are provided.

Methods, devices, and kits are provided for mitigating single point failure of at least one device in an analyte monitoring system.

The present invention relates to methods for remotely tuning treatment parameters in movement disorder therapy systems where the subject and clinician are located remotely from each other. The present invention still further provides methods of quantifying movement disorders for the treatment of patients who exhibit symptoms of such movement disorders including, but not limited to, Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism, Dystonia, Chorea, and Huntington's disease, Ataxia, Tremor and Essential Tremor, Tourette syndrome, stroke, and the like. The present invention yet further relates to methods of remotely tuning a therapy device using objective quantified movement disorder symptom data to determine the therapy setting or parameters to be transmitted and provided to the subject via his or her therapy device. The present invention also provides treatment and tuning remotely, allowing for home monitoring of subjects.

This invention is directed to a wearable device that is capable of monitoring the health data of an individual, in particular, of an athlete while training. The device is also capable of providing location information in the event that the individual has a health issue while training. The device is also capable of receiving haptic signals from an external device. The device comprises conductive adhesive hydrogel, a battery, a GPS system, a temperature sensor, a health sensor, a storage memory, a haptic, and a means of communication.

A device and a method for delivering a flowable ingestible medicament into the gastrointestinal tract of a user. The device includes a vibrating ingestible capsule attached to a medicament delivery compartment. The medicament delivery compartment includes a housing including a portal, a medicament reservoir, a reservoir biasing mechanism applying pressure to the reservoir, a resilient conduit extending from the reservoir to the portal, and a valve including a weight and a spring adapted, when closed, to bias the weight against the conduit so as to block flow therethrough, and, when open, to remove the weight from the conduit to allow fluid to flow through the conduit. When the vibrating agitator is in the vibration mode of operation, vibrations exerted thereby are applied to the valve biasing mechanism and periodically transition the valve between the closed operative orientation and the open operative orientation.

A vision protection method is provided to ensure a viewer to rest his/her eyes after viewing on an electronic device for a certain period, wherein the eyesight protection method includes the steps of detecting at least one of eye activities of the viewer and working parameter of the electronic device in a working mode of the electronic device during the viewer is working on a current work displaying by the electronic device; switching the working mode of the electronic device to a resting mode when an abnormal eye activity of the viewer is detected; and switching the electronic device from the resting mode back to the working mode to resume the display of the current work of the electronic device. Therefore, the viewer is enforced to rest his/her eyes after every certain period.
