EMERGENCY CARDIAC ARREST RESUSCITATION DRONE SYSTEM
An emergency cardiac arrest resuscitation drone system that includes a drone, a mechanical chest compression device that is attached to the drone, and a control system connected to the drone. The control system is configured to activate and direct the drone to a geographic location of an emergency. The drone has a GPS system, a microphone/speaker, and a camera that enable a medical certified staff member to provide step by step instructions to a bystander at the geographic location of the emergency.
Compression therapy device having mechanical advantage
A compression therapy device for vascular diseases and other therapies including a bladder a lever arm acting on the outer surface of the bladder such that cyclical operation of an actuator on the lever arm creates cyclical changes in pneumatic pressure in the therapeutic portion of the bladder.
Massage glove and vehicle-mounted massage device
A massage glove and a vehicle-mounted massage device are provided. The massage glove includes a glove body, at least one acupuncture point massager and a controller. The acupuncture point massager is arranged on the glove body at a position corresponding to an acupuncture point on a hand. The acupuncture point massager is configured to massage the acupuncture point so as to relieve a physical fatigue of a user. The controller is configured to output a control signal to the acupuncture point massager, so as to enable the acupuncture point massager in accordance with the control signal.
Apparatus for Minimally-Invasive Prevention and Treatment of Hydrocephalus and Method for Use of Same
An apparatus for minimally-invasive, including non-invasive, prevention and/or treatment of hydrocephalus and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the apparatus, a housing is sized for superjacent contact with a skull having a fontanel. Within the housing, a compartment includes a pressure applicator, such as a fluid-filled bladder, under the control of a pressure regulator. The pressure applicator is configured to selectively apply an external pressure to the fontanel. The compartment includes a pressure sensor configured to measure intracranial pulse pressure of the fontanel. Further, in one embodiment, the apparatus can cause pulse pressure modulation by adjusting the intracranial pulse pressure via the pressure applicator. This enables a non-invasive measurement of the pulse pressure and modulation thereof in infants, for example.
INTERACTIVE THERAPEUTIC BLANKET SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
An interactive therapeutic blanket system is disclosed. The interactive therapeutic blanket system provides a set of selectable features that serve to address mental health therapeutic user needs. In one embodiment, a user selects a selectable blanket configuration using a system interface and a blanket system controller controls a set of active blanket devices to the selectable blanket configuration. In one feature, the set of active blanket devices include a set of vibration devices operating according to a temporally-referenced vibration regimen. In another feature, the set of active blanket devices include a set of pressure devices to impart discrete pressure to a user at discrete body locations.
Multi-function pelvic trigger point wand and related software.
A Multi-function Pelvic Trigger Point Massage Wand is a handheld device for the treatment of pelvic pain and pain/discomfort caused by related urinary and sexual dysfunctions. The device provides an adjustable combination of heat, vibration, electric stimulation, electromyography, photoplethysmography pulse oximetry, and biofeedback, depending on the treatment regimen desired. A metal sensor band around the release-end of the wand conducts electromyography and electrical stimulation. Photodiode sensors are coupled with green and infrared LEDs to calculate the users heart rate and blood flow. A sensor for biofeedback measurement assigns data produced from electrical stimulation sensors, electromyography sensors, photodiode sensors and the biofeedback/pressure measuring function to a smart device with operating software created specifically for the pelvic trigger point wand. The information output is collected and analyzed to show the results of different treatment techniques.
AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE
The present invention relates to a device, and software and methodology associated with a portable Automated External Defibrillator (“AED”). The portable AED works with a mobile device and software, and includes two or more cardiac pads, a battery pack, and specialized capacitor. When connected to a patient in cardiac arrest, the AED contacts Emergency Medical Services, and records patient information to be transmitted for evaluation by medical providers. The AED is able to analyze cardiac rhythms, suggests administering one or more shocks to the patient in appropriate cardiac arrhythmia, and guides a user on proper CPR technique, if enabled. The AED software can alert other personnel via a mobile device app.
ELECTRO-ACTUATABLE COMPRESSION GARMENTS WITH SHAPE MEMORY ELEMENTS
A compression garment having one or more flex frames that can be shortened or lengthened to apply or release a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of a user. The compression garment can have a wire made of shape memory material (shape memory alloy). A controller of the compression garment can supply an electrical input to the wire, generating heat that can cause the wire to contract such that the flex frame deflects to a shorter length to apply a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of the user. The one or more flex frames can be contracted in unison or in sequence to direct the flow of bodily fluids in the limb or other anatomical feature of the user.
System and method for generating pressure point maps based on remote-controlled haptic-interactions
System and method for providing remotely guided physical treatment are disclosed. A computing device is communicably coupled to a therapeutic robot and a remote guidance device. The computing device receives full-body images of a treatment subject. The computing device generates a plurality of key physical points for the treatment subject by identifying a three-dimensional human body template that corresponds to the shape and posture parameters of the treatment subject and fitting the identified first three-dimensional human body template to the full-body images of the treatment subject. The fitting causes adjustments to locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template. The adjusted locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template are provided to the guidance device as basis for a treatment procedure that is specified by the treatment guidance provider during the physical treatment session.
Method and apparatus for treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest
A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device for performing automatic defibrillation and chest compressions on a patient and method for using same. The CPR device having a balloon configured to inflate/deflate, a belt configured to securely strap around a chest of a patient, a pair of electrode pads configured to deliver shock energy from a shock source, and, optionally, a pulse oximeter sensor. The CPR device is in electrical communication with a CPR defibrillator/ECG computer system that is configured to control the CPR device.
