A signal measurement method and a signal measurement apparatus (1000) are provided. A mode selection switch (11) may be used to enable a multi-lead measurement mode, to obtain signals of a plurality of leads and a status of a user. When quality of the signals of the plurality of leads is good or the user is in a static state, extracted features of the signals of the plurality of leads are output. When the signals of the plurality of leads are poor and the user is in a moving state, the mode selection switch (11) is used to switch to a single-lead mode with right leg drive, to obtain a signal of a single lead. A common-mode signal is eliminated from the signal of the single lead by using a negative feedback of a right leg drive electrode, and a feature of the signal of the single lead is output.

This disclosure presents systems and methods to provide telehealth and medical IoT communication. Exemplary implementations may: obtain health information characterizing physiological state of a user; obtain activity information characterizing physical activity of the user; identify potential occurrences of one or more medical-related events based on the health information and the activity information; in response to identifying the potential occurrences of the one or more medical-related events, generate and deliver one or more notifications to one or more computing platforms; and/or perform other features and/or functionality.

To provide objective indications of the progression of peripheral neuropathy of patients, a transmitter apparatus is utilized to produce reproducible pulse signals to specified locations on the human body to determine a minimum level of stimulation necessary to elicit a consciously detectable sensation through the generation of a series of pulse signals of varying intensities, and the recordation of the number of pulse signals felt by the patient. Moreover, the nerve velocity of the patient is additionally determined for a patient via the transmitter apparatus and a receiver apparatus detecting body-signals passing along a nerve within the patient and corresponding to the pulse signals applied to the patient. The results of these tests are recorded over time, thereby enabling generation of patient-specific models indicative of the progression of the patient's peripheral neuropathy over time.

An implant unit configured for implantation into a body of a subject is provided. The implant unit may include a flexible carrier unit including a central portion and two elongated arms extending from the central portion, an antenna, located on the central portion, configured to receive a signal, at least one pair of electrodes arranged on a first elongated arm of the two elongated arms. The at least one pair of electrodes may be adapted to modulate a first nerve. The elongated arms of the flexible carrier may be configured to form an open ended curvature around a muscle with the nerve to be stimulated within an arc of the curvature.

A universal respiratory detector for detecting a respiratory gas. The universal respiratory detector may include a plurality of layers with a visual indicator to quickly and reversibly change color to detect a respiratory gas parameter such as carbon dioxide. The color change may be visible from both sides of the detector. In some examples, the respiratory detector may be a biocompatible and conformable sticker for mounting on a person’s face or an oxygen delivery device.

Aspects relate to an energy harvesting device adapted for use by an athlete while exercising. The device may utilize a mass of phase-change material to store heat energy, the stored heat energy subsequently converted into electrical energy by one or more thermoelectric generator modules. The energy harvesting device may be integrated into an item of clothing, and such that the mass of phase change material may store heat energy as the item of clothing is laundered.

A stimulation device includes a body containing at least one stimulation means adapted to be transcutaneously attached to the neck of a subject. The stimulation means is adapted to generate a stimulating signal during a stimulating state. The stimulation means is positioned to be in stimulating contact with the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the trunks of the lesser occipital nerve, greater auricular nerve, transverse cervical nerve or supraclavicular nerve with their autonomic fibers synchronously. The stimulation can be provided in the form an electrical, optical, vibrational, thermal, mechanical and/or magnetic stimulation. The stimulation device can be used bilaterally on the right and left sides of the subject's neck, working as a system in a synchronous or alternating manner.

There is a viscoelastic strain sensor that includes a sensing layer including a viscoelastic material, the viscoelastic material including a viscoelastic hydrogel and a conductive nanofiller. The viscoelastic material has a fractional resistance change that increases with an increase of an applied tensile strain, and the viscoelastic material has a fractional resistance change that decreases with an applied compressional strain.

A system for patient activity monitoring may include a wearable device and a personal terminal. The personal terminal may include a processor. The processor of the personal terminal may be configured to receive, from the wearable device, proximity detection information specifying proximity detected by the wearable device between the wearable device and a tag device and sensor data received by the wearable device from the tag device. The processor of the personal terminal may be further configured to determine, based on the proximity detection information and the sensor data, that an action was performed by a patient.

A kit-of-parts for visualizing by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique including a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique, regions of a central nervous system of a patient having an implanted active implantable medical device (AIMD) is provided. The kit-of-parts is provided and includes: the AIMD, which can be used exposed to the electromagnetic conditions for MR-images acquisition, an external processing unit for controlling the AIMD, an optical communication lead for establishing a two-way optical communication between the AIMD and an external communication unit which is controlled by the external processing unit.

A patient having an implanted AIMD can be treated in a conventional MR-device for imaging, e.g., a brain region. The other elements of the kit-of-parts allow controlling the functions of the AIMD and following any effects of a stimulation on the brain region thus imaged.
