The present disclosure relates to relates to medication injection devices, and in particular to systems and methods for on-demand delivery of a non-liquid medication from a wearable medication injection device. Particularly, aspects of the present invention are directed to a device that includes a housing defining a chamber, a piston disposed within the chamber, a needle disposed within the chamber on a first side of the piston, an energetic material disposed within the chamber on a second side of the piston, and a medication strip disposed within the needle. The medication strip includes an injectable substance in a non-liquid form.

The embodiments described herein may relate to methods and systems for adjusting insulin delivery. Some methods and systems may be configured to adjust insulin delivery to personalize automated insulin delivery for a person with diabetes. Such personalization may include adjusting user specific dosage parameters in response to one or more back-filled time segments associated with a diurnal time block.

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, a method includes receiving one or more analyte values associated with a health condition of the patient user; receiving contextual data associated with the patient user obtained by the mobile computing device, where the obtained contextual data includes information associated with a meal; determining a medicine metric value associated with an amount of medicine active in the body of the patient user; autonomously calculating a dose of the medicine without input from the user based at least on the one or more analyte values, the medicine metric value, and the information associated with a meal; and continuously displaying the calculated dose of the medicine.

Disclosed are methods and medical device systems for automated delivery of therapies for pain and determination of need for and safety of treatment. In one embodiment, such a medical device system may comprise a sensor configured to sense at least one body signal from a patient; and a medical device configured to receive a first sensed body signal from the sensor; determine a patient pain index based at least in part on said first sensed body signal; determine whether said patient pain index is above at least a first pain index threshold; determine a safety index based at least in part on a second sensed body signal; select a pain treatment regimen based on at least one of said safety index and or a determination that said pain index is above said first pain index threshold; and deliver said pain treatment regimen.

Disclosed is respiratory assistance apparatus comprising a flow generator configured to provide breathing gases to a patient, the breathing gases comprising supplemental oxygen provided from an oxygen source. The respiratory assistance apparatus controller is configured determine a target oxygen concentration of the breathing gases and calculate an estimated future value of the patient's blood oxygen concentration based on a difference between an initial oxygen concentration of the breathing gases and the target oxygen concentration of the breathing gases, and the patients blood oxygen concentration.

Devices and methods for monitoring physiologic parameters are described where an airway device, in one embodiment, may comprise a mouthpiece section and an opening section defining one or more airway lumens therethrough with a first sensor in fluid communication with the one or more airway lumens and a second sensor positioned upon a hand-piece for contact against a portion of the user. The first sensor may be configured to detect an airway pressure when a user inhales or exhales through the one or more airway lumens, and the second sensor may be configured to detect a physiological signal from the user. Additionally, a controller may be in communication with the first and second sensors where the controller is programmed to correlate pressure oscillations in the airway pressure with heartbeats.

A system and method for generating simulated full limb animations in real time based on sensor and tracking data. A computing environment for receiving and processing tracking data from one or more sensors, for mapping tracking data onto a 3D model having a skeletal hierarchy and a surface topology, and for rendering an avatar for display in virtual reality. A method for animating a full-bodied avatar from tracking data collected from an amputee. A means for determining, predicting, or modulating movements an amputee intends to make with his or her simulated full limb. A modified inverse kinematics method for arbitrarily and artificially overriding a position and orientation of a tracked end effector. Synchronous virtual reality therapeutic activities with predefined movement patterns that may modulate animations.

A method of estimating a parameter indicative of respiratory flow of a patient being administered flow therapy, comprising: optionally administering a gas at a flow rate to the patient using a flow therapy apparatus with a patient interface, determin—-ing a terminal pressure in, at or proximate the outlet of the patient interface or in, at or proximate the nares of the patient, determin -ing nasal RTF, determining a nasal flow parameter being or indicative of nasal flow based on the pressure and a nasal RTF, and optionally outputting the nasal flow parameter or parameter derived therefrom.
