A packet for a medication delivery pen comprises a pen cap integrally connected to one, some, or all of the devices listed: an unused pen needle dispenser, sharps container for used needles, folding glucose monitor, constant glucose monitor, glucose tablets/candy, lancing device, or glucose test strip holder. The integrated pen cap is configured to replace the pen cap normally supplied with the pen and the attachments and devices featured put all items needed by a diabetic in one device. This device also gives the diabetic freedom in choosing which devices they would like to or would like not to carry with them, and in what manner so as to have the highest convenience to the diabetic.

A method for preventing obesity related to infection by an adipogenic adenovirus includes obtaining a sample from a person, assaying the sample to determine whether the person has been previously infected with an adipogenic adenovirus, and if the person has not been previously infected, providing the person with at least one sensor positioned to detect when a person's hand approaches a predetermined distance from the person's face. By warning the person of undesired hand-to-face contacts, the person is able to reduce the incidence of obesity related infections. Other embodiments are directed to a kit for preventing obesity caused by infection with an adipogenic adenovirus, such kit including a container for assaying an agent indicating the presence of antibodies to Ad-36, and a sensor positioned on an item selected from the group consisting of one of a hat, a writing instrument, eye glasses, a belt, sunglasses, a bra, a shirt, and a tie.

An apparatus for measuring bio-information may include: a pulse wave sensor comprising at least one pair of light emitters which are disposed apart from each other and a light receiver disposed between the at least one pair of light emitters, and configured to measure a plurality of pulse wave signals from an object by using the light receiver and the at least one pair of light emitters; a force sensor configured to measure a contact force that is applied to the pulse wave sensor by the object; and a processor configured to generate an integrated pulse wave signal by integrating the plurality of pulse wave signals based on the contact force and an area of a contact surface of the pulse wave sensor, and estimate bio-information of the object based on the integrated pulse wave signal.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) systems and methods for transcutaneous oxygen monitoring (TCOM) and subcutaneous oxygen monitoring (SCOM) are provided herein. Optionally, the EPR systems provided herein can be portable and/or handheld to facilitate EPR oximetry in clinical environments.

A method and apparatus can be used in the selection of correctly sized respiratory interfaces. The method includes the use of light beams to project sizing markers onto a patient's face, which enables the size of the patient's facial features to be measured relative to a set of interface sizes. A sizing apparatus can include a light source and beam splitters that will refract and project the light source into a series of beams that can be aligned on a patient's face in order to measure the features of the patient.

The disclosure extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for validating continual probe contact with tissue during bioelectric testing. The disclosure extends to methods, systems, devices, and computer program products that could be utilized to validate continual probe or probe hood contact with a test subject's tissue or tissue surrounding a test point. The methods, systems, and computer program products may be included with skin or tissue contact validation, warnings, alerts, and systems and procedures that could invalidate a compromised reading and initiate a new reading at the compromised test point.

A distal shaft for measuring pressure distally of a stenosis includes a housing, a pressure sensor, a cover, a tip, and an aperture. The pressure sensor is mounted in the housing. The cover is coupled to the housing and covers the pressure sensor. The tip is coupled to a distal end of the housing. The aperture is disposed through the tip and/or cover. The aperture is configured to allow blood flow to the pressure sensor. The cover further includes a coupling mechanism or coupling that couples the cover to the housing. The coupling mechanism may be a snap-fit mechanism, a friction-fit mechanism, and/or an adhesive.

Detection systems and methods configured to scan and interpret a suspected infection at in vivo biological target site, comprising emitting excitation light selected to elicit fluorescent light from a suspected infection at the target site; sensing fluorescent light emanating from the target site elicited by such excitation light; sensing heat levels above ambient body temperature emanating from the target site; and then based at least in part on the sensed fluorescent light and the heat levels, determining a probability whether the target site comprises an infection.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for supporting components of an implantable medical device. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a first electrode and a second electrode and a scaffold assembly configured to support the first electrode and the second electrode.

A console for an electrosurgical device may include a housing, an energy generator in the housing, a computer processor in the housing, a connector on the housing, for connecting the console with an energy delivery treatment device, a touchscreen display on the housing, and a non-transitory computer readable medium in the computer processor. The computer readable medium may contain computer-executable programming instructions for providing an active display on the touchscreen display. The active display may include a central circle, a countdown timer in the central circle for counting down a total time remaining in an energy delivery procedure, and an outer ring around the central circle, configured to indicate the total time remaining in the energy delivery procedure, a remaining time in an energy delivery stage of the energy delivery procedure, and a remaining time in a cooling stage of the energy delivery procedure.
