COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD
A computer-implemented method for determining a hydration status of a user, the computer-implemented method. The computer-implemented method comprises acquiring, from sensor on a wearable device worn by a user, data including bodily parameter data related to the user. The computer-implemented method further comprises applying a model to the bodily parameter data to obtain hydration information related to the user. The model derives, from the hydration information, a hydration rank indicative of a hydration status of the user. The hydration rank is a given grade on a hydration rank scale.
Vagina evaluation device and uterus evaluation device
A non-invasive and accurate vagina evaluation device and uterine evaluation devices are provided that measure the receptivity (uterine implantation capacity) of the mother's body to a fertilized egg implanting itself into the uterus. A first vagina evaluation device includes: a main body stretchable and expandable after insertion into a vagina, followed by air injection thereinto; four electrodes brought into contact with the vagina wall as the main body expands and stretches; and fixation means configured to fix the interval of arrangement of the electrodes. Second and third uterine evaluation device include: a flexible and rod-shaped main body for insertion into a uterine cavity; and four or two impedance electrodes arranged with a predetermined interval therebetween in an insertion direction of the main body and brought into contact with an endometrium of the uterine cavity to measure a uterine endometrial impedance generated between the endometrium and each of the electrodes.
Device and Method for Prediction and Characterization of a Conception Cycle
The device and method for calculating and displaying to a user a predicted fertility window, start and end date, and conception planning guide for the user is presented. The device and method include a vaginal sensor device having a plurality of sensors to collect measurements related to vaginal and cervical parameters that are important to the conception cycle. The device and method are customized for an individual user through the input by a user of menstrual cycle timing and duration, ovulation data, temperature data, and other data that are personal to the user. The system utilizes all collected sensor measurements, input user data, and historical data to provide a predicted fertility window, including predicted start and end dates, for the user.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FORA UTERINE THERMOCHROMIC PROBE
A uterine thermochromic probe comprising a probe handle, a probe head, and a probe body comprising a thermochromic material, wherein the probe body couples the probe handle to the probe head. In some examples, the probe body tapers from a wide end at the probe handle to a narrow end at the probe head. In some further examples, the uterine thermochromic probe is formed from a continuous piece of thermochromic material.
Cervix measuring device and method
A cervix measuring device is provided including an elongated shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a positioning member slidably carried by the elongated shaft, the positioning member having a semicircular shape to allow partially encirclement of a base of a ectocervix, and a stop member stopping the positioning member from sliding past the distal end of the elongated shaft.
Methods and devices for cervical cell and tissue sampling
The present invention comprises methods and devices comprising a cutting element used to contact circumferentially and longitudinally the surface walls of the endocervical canal to provide for broad and complete contact of the intended surface with the device, resulting in attainment of a sufficient volume and comprehensive tissue sample for analysis as an endocervical curettage or screening pap smear. The device may provide for a reservoir for the obtained sample to be contained when removing from the cervical canal and vagina. The device may be comprised of a detachable means or be of a material that allows the user to cut the sampling head of the device for placement in collection means to maximize the amount of tissue or cells being sent to the laboratory for analysis.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PURPLE LIGHT IMAGING
A method for detecting tissue abnormality in a tissue sample, comprising: illuminating a tissue sample in vivo with a first light beam having a wavelength selected from the range 390-430 nanometer (nm); applying contrast agent to the tissue sample; capturing a one or more images of the tissue sample; and detecting tissue abnormality based on at least one of color changes in the tissue sample and blood vessel features in the tissue sample appearing in said one or more images.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF STRAINS AND STRAIN-RATIO CALCULATION FOR SONOELASTOGRAPHY
Systems and methods are provided for automatic measurement of strains and strain-ratio calculation for sonoelastography.
Functional disposable sheath
An active sheath for a recognition probe of a handheld cancer screening device, in which the conductors and circuits are applied on the surface of the sheath such as in the form of a flexible circuit made of a biocompatible material and a flexible conductor or a conductive ink in the surface of the disposable cover's tip without the need to embed the electrodes or other components inside the plastic cover.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING
A system and method for screening cervical cancer is disclosed. The system and method enable screening of cervical cancer locally at geographical location of subjects using minimum infrastructure. The system includes a visual inspection kit, a device, and a subject connection module. The visual inspection kit may include a vital stain having a predefined concentration, a sterile accessory, and an applicator accessory. The device may include an application for data collection, storage, transmission, retrieval and analytics and the subject connection module is configured to manage interaction with subjects. The method includes screening a subject using the visual inspection kit, storing and analyzing the images using the device, and connecting with subject using the subject connection module.
