Methods and apparatuses for use in screening for and assessing neuropathies, such as severe diabetic neuropathies of the feet, also known as Loss of Protective Sensation (“LOPS”). The methods and apparatuses described herein employ a kit including one or more of an insert having at least one testing instrument attached thereto, the at least one testing instrument comprising at least a holder and a monofilament; an enclosure including inner compartments for holding and securing the insert; a folder having one or more pockets for securing the insert and one or more of a mirror, a packet and other material, such as instructions. The apparatuses safely secure and protect the testing instrument(s) so that the risk of breaking or otherwise damaging the testing instruments during storage and/or shipping is significantly reduced. The methods and apparatuses are easy and low cost to manufacture, easy to use, scalable, and allow users to self-screen/test for, among other things, severe diabetic neuropathies of the feet.

A electrocardiogram (EKG) lead attachment with a visual aid device including a plurality of retractable leads, a housing member, a plurality of label designations, a plurality of label designation tags, a lead placement visual aid, and a plurality of color tags. The lead placement visual aid includes an anatomical image of a chest cavity including color coordinated label designations which are each positioned on the anatomical image at a location where a corresponding lead in the first set should be placed on the human body. The plurality of color tags are coordinated to match the colors of the color coordinated label designations in the visual aid. The color designations and tags are used to provide an easy to follow visual aid to an operator for placement of the leads on a human body.

A wearable health monitoring device is disclosed. The device includes an attachment feature configured to engage with an attachment feature of an alignment element that is to be worn on the skin of a person, An RF front-end including a semiconductor substrate, at least one transmit antenna configured to transmit radio waves below the skin surface of the person, and a two-dimensional array of receive antennas configured to receive radio waves, the received radio waves including a reflected portion of the transmitted radio waves, wherein the semiconductor substrate includes circuits configured to generate signals in response to the received radio waves, a digital baseband system configured to generate digital data in response to the signals, wherein the digital data is indicative of a health parameter of the person, and a communications interface configured to transmit the digital data generated by the digital baseband system from the wearable health monitoring device.

A multimodal optical imaging platform is used to obtain cerebral perfusion-metabolism mismatch metrics for rapid assessment of acute brain injury, ongoing (real-time) feedback to optimize cardiopulmonary resuscitation to improve neurological outcome, and rapid prognosis of recovery. Light of several wavelengths and types is delivered to the tissue, which is then absorbed and scattered by tissue components such as blood and cellular components. Some of this light scatters back to the surface, where it is captured by a detector. The resulting data are processed to obtain blood flow and oxygenation parameters, as well as tissue scattering. These parameters are then combined to calculate metabolism and flow-metabolism coupling/decoupling metrics, which are used to determine ischemic damage, ongoing need for optimal blood flow and oxygenation, and to predict cerebral recovery in patients with acute brain injury during and immediately after cardiac arrest, stroke, traumatic brain injury, etc.

Provided are apparatuses for and methods of measuring a biological signal. The biological signal measuring apparatus includes reference point sensors configured to detect signals detected from at least two reference marks on a surface of a subject and a biological signal measuring position detector configured to generate information about a biological signal measuring position based on the signals detected from the at least two reference marks. The biological signal measuring apparatus measures the biological signal according to the information about the biological signal measuring position.

A wearable diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) garment is disclosed herein. The wearable diagnostic ECG garment comprises a garment body, screen-printed electrodes positioned on the body, and screen-printed wires positioned in the garment body, each of the screen-printed wires connected from a central connector module to a screen-printed electrode.
