A method of differentiating between a strain and a contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) of a subject includes receiving data generated by an orientation sensor provided within a vaginal probe device that is located within the vaginal canal of the subject and utilizing a processor to process data generated by the orientation sensor to determine a direction of rotation of the vaginal probe device during a measurement period. When the processor determines that the vaginal probe device has rotated in the cranial-ventral direction relative to the subject, an output is generated indicating that there has been a contraction of the PFM during the measurement period; and when the processor determines that the vaginal probe device has rotated in the caudal-dorsal direction relative to the subject, an output is generated indicating that there has been a strain of the PFM during the measurement period.

A computing system for measuring and monitoring patient biomarkers for detecting or predicting a post-surgical hysterectomy complication may be provided. A post-surgical hysterectomy complication may be predicted or detected by comparing measured/processed patient biomarker data with a corresponding determined threshold value. The comparison of the measured/processed patient biomarker data and the corresponding threshold may be performed in association with a context. The context may be based on at least one of a hysterectomy surgery recovery timeline, at least one situational attribute, or at least one environmental attribute. A notification message associated with a predicted or detected post-surgical hysterectomy complication may be sent (e.g., sent in real time) to a patient device or a healthcare provider's device. The notification message may be supplemented by a severity level message.

An accessory sleeve and a method for use is provided. The accessory sleeve includes a cylindrical sleeve body. The cylindrical sleeve body includes an outer surface, an inner surface, the inner surface defining a hollow sleeve channel, and at least one open end. The sleeve body is configured to receive an insertion portion of a medical speculum in the hollow sleeve channel, and the sleeve body is further configured to expand from a first state to a second state.

The Biomechanical Integrity Score and its five components are calculated as a result of vaginal tactile probe insertion, elevation, rotation, Valsalva maneuver, voluntary pelvic muscle contraction, reflex contraction, and relaxation while the probe is in contact with vaginal walls for a comprehensive biomechanical characterization of the pelvic floor. The probe is equipped with a plurality of tactile sensors recording various static and dynamic pressure patterns during a vaginal examination.

A perineometer device for providing accurate biofeedback, comprising a cap (1) coupled to a tubular member (11), at least one first finger (9a) and at least one plate (18) or at least one second finger (9b) and at least one force sensing resistor (17), at least one plate (18) or force sensing resistor (17) disposed internally and parallel to the at least one finger (9a, 9b), at least one battery (15) for applying an electrical potential difference to the at least one first finger (9a) and the at least one plate (18), a means for measuring capacitance therefrom or the at least one force sensing resistor (17) to measure force applied to the at least one second finger (9b) and a processor connected to the means of applying an electrical potential difference and measuring capacitance or connected to the at least one force sensing resistor (17).

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.

An intravaginal ejaculation latency time and vaginal clonus monitoring device has a monitoring sleeve, an integrated sensor set and a processing circuit integrated module. The integrated sensor set is located in the monitoring sleeve. The processing circuit integrated module is detachably connected with the monitoring sleeve, and has a real-time clock chip, a central processing unit, a data transmission component and a power module. The integrated sensor set, the real-time clock chip and the data transmission component are all connected with the central processing unit. The power module is used for providing a working power supply.

A vaginal ring sensor device adapted to be placed within the vaginal vault of a user, the device including a ring body, at least one through hole that passes through the ring body, and at least one biosensor structured and arranged to sense and/or measure a parameter of vaginal fluid as such fluid passes through the at least one through hole.

A pressure sensor apparatus includes a plurality of pressure responsive chambers provided along a longitudinal dimension of the apparatus, and a pressure sensor device provided in each chamber which together provide a pressure profile in an anatomical cavity.

The present invention is related to a vaginal drug delivery device and to a vaginal diagnostic device that comprises a first and second rigid member, wherein the first and/or second rigid member comprises a reservoir holding a medicament to be delivered, an opening, and a pump for pumping said medicament out of said opening, and/or wherein the first rigid member and/or second rigid member comprises a diagnostic device for performing an intravaginal diagnosis or measurement therefor.

The device further comprises a first flexible member and flexible part, wherein at least one of the first flexible member and the flexible part is at least partially elastic having an elasticity such that the device can be squeezed from an extended shape to a collapsed shape. The device is pre-biased to assume the extended shape when little to no external force is being applied thereto. Furthermore, the device assumes a shape substantially corresponding to the extended shape when the device is inserted with the squeezed rigid member first, so that these naturally unfold in the formix posterior vaginae.
