DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR MEASURING RANGE OF MOTION OF ANKLE, AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME
The device for measuring range of motion of an ankle provides for angular measurement of the range of motion of a patient's ankle, and includes a foot rest having a base, a pair of sidewalls and an inclined upper surface. A foot retainer releasably receives the patient's foot. A mounting plate is slidably mounted to one of the pair of sidewalls. The lower end of an elongated rod is rotatably mounted to the mounting plate. An inclinometer is secured to the elongated rod. A retaining bar is secured to the elongated rod, adjacent its upper end. The retaining bar is adapted for positioning adjacent a calf muscle of the patient when the patient's foot is received in the foot retainer.
BODY CONFORMING WEARABLE DEVICE FOR PROVIDING OUTPUT AND INPUT FOR A DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Exemplary embodiments provide a management wearable device with a body conforming housing. The wearable device may be worn on parts of the user's body, such as the hand, wrist, arm or leg. This eliminates the need for the user to hand carry a device. The wearable device may include a display for displaying information to the user. Where the drug delivery system delivers insulin, the display may be used to display information such as blood glucose concentration readings, insulin on board and other information. The wearable device may also include input elements, such as push buttons, knobs, keys or switches, for providing information, entering commands or initiating or halting activity.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING MEASUREMENT DATA FROM ELECTROCARDIOGRAM ELECTRODES
A system and method for processing measurement data from ECG electrodes. The method includes obtaining a three-dimensional image of the torso of the subject including position information of the electrodes; obtaining ultrasound data of the heart of the subject; and modifying a non-patient-specific three-dimensional anatomical model into a patient-specific three-dimensional model of the heart and torso of the subject on the basis of the ultrasound data. The method includes using electrocardiogram data and the three dimensional patient-specific anatomical model for estimating the distribution, fluctuation and/or movement of electrical activity through heart tissue.
Delivery system
Provided herein is a delivery system, including: (a) an optical sensor configured to detect data to create a map of a patient bodily surface; and (b) a dispenser operatively associated with the optical sensor and configured to deliver compositions (optionally including cells) to the patient bodily surface based upon the data or map. Methods of forming a tissue on a patient bodily surface of a patient in need thereof are also provided, as are methods, systems and computer program products useful for processing patient bodily surface data.
Method and system for automated healthcare monitoring of a patient
A system is provided for automated monitoring the health of a patient. The system is unifying the approach of multi-sensing, robotic platform and cloud computing to monitor the health of the patient with zero or very minimal human intervention. The plurality of physiological parameters and the pathological values is sensed using the plurality of physiological sensors and the plurality of pathological sensors or using a smart phone of the patient. The body of the patient is scanned using a robotic arm. The data sensed by the sensor is then identifies a set of anomalies and send the set of anomalies to cloud server. A cognitive engine present on the cloud server is then diagnoses a disease using cloud computing and send the report to caregiver and doctor. According to another embodiment, a method is also provided for automated monitoring the health of the person using the above mentioned system.
NON-INVASIVE IMAGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE
Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to ultraweak photon emission imaging systems and methods. In some embodiments, a method comprises acquiring an ultraweak photon emission image of a target area of a patient for detection of a pathological condition; wherein the target area comprises an area of interest and a portion surrounding the area of interest, wherein acquiring the image comprises: enhancing formation of reactive oxygen species and/or reactive nitrogen species in the target area, wherein enhancing formation of the reactive oxygen species and/or the reactive nitrogen species comprises applying low level light illumination to the target area from 1 second to 60 minutes so as to achieve a total power output from 1 mW to 10,000 W using an average power density from 0.1 W/cm.sup.2 to 1 W/cm.sup.2; and imaging the target area, wherein imaging the target area comprises a total exposure time from 1 second to 60 minutes.
System And Method For Mounting A Robotic Arm In A Surgical Robotic System
Systems and methods for mounting a robotic arm for use in robotic-assisted surgery, including a mobile shuttle that includes a support member for mounting the robotic arm that extends at least partially over a gantry of an imaging device. Further embodiments include a mounting apparatus for mounting a robotic arm to a base or support column of an imaging device, to a patient table, to a floor or ceiling of a room, or to a cart that extends over the top surface of the patient table.
MEASURING DEVICE
A measuring device is provided with an improved contact property of a measuring surface of a sensor with respect to a surface of a target object. The measuring device includes a main body and a probe that has a head section at the distal end thereof and an arm section connecting the head section to the main body. The head section has a support portion, a measuring portion, and a coupling portion. The support portion is connected to the distal end of the arm section. The measuring portion has a first surface at which a measuring surface of a sensor is exposed and a thickness with the first surface as a datum plane. The coupling portion is disposed between and couples the measuring portion and the support portion. The coupling portion has a first connection portion connected to the measuring portion and a through hole.
