Monitoring and management of physiologic parameters of a subject
A method includes receiving monitoring data from at least one sensing device coupled to a subject and analyzing the monitoring data to identify one or more physiologic parameters of the subject. The method also includes providing signaling to at least one stimulating device in response to the identified physiologic parameters, the signaling comprising instructions to apply a stimulus to the subject. The method further includes receiving additional monitoring data from the at least one sensing device, analyzing the additional monitoring data to identify one or more changes in the one or more physiologic parameters of the subject after application of the stimulus to the subject, and providing additional signaling to the at least one stimulating device, the additional signaling comprising instructions to modify the stimulus applied to the subject based on the identified changes in the one or more physiologic parameters.
System and method of detecting inter-vascular occlusion
Some aspects of the invention may be directed to a system and method of determining an occurrence of inter-vascular occlusion. The method may include: receiving, from a first sensor, a first indication, related to blood flow in a first artery supplying blood to a first hemisphere of a subject's brain; receiving from one of: the first sensor and a second sensor, a second indication related to the blood flow in a second artery supplying blood to a second hemisphere of the subject's brain; comparing the first and second indications; and determining an occurrence of an inter-vascular occlusion based on the comparison.
Systems for skin patch gravity resistance
A system for a physiological characteristic sensor deployed with a sensor inserter includes an adhesive skin patch coupled to the physiological characteristic sensor. The adhesive patch is to couple the physiological characteristic sensor to an anatomy. The system includes a gravity resistance system coupled to the adhesive patch and to be coupled to the sensor inserter. The gravity resistance system maintains the adhesive patch substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the sensor inserter prior to deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor and the gravity resistance system is to be removable from the sensor inserter by the adhesive patch upon deployment of the physiological characteristic sensor.
CONTINUOUS ANALYTE MONITORING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS HAVING A LONG-LIFE REUSABLE WIRELESS TRANSMITTER UNIT AND APPLICATION METHODS THEREFOR
A wearable continuous analyte monitoring (CAM) device includes a disposable sensor unit and a long-life reusable transmitter unit. The transmitter unit has no power source and has an enclosure that seals wireless transmitter circuitry within. The disposable sensor unit is configured to receive and provide power to the transmitter unit therein. Upon expiration of the disposable sensor unit, the transmitter unit can be removed from the disposable sensor unit and reused in another disposable sensor unit with a fresh power source. The CAM device has a cover constructed of a fabric material to improve aesthetics and feel of the CAM device. Methods of preparing and applying the CAM device to a user's skin are also provided, as are other aspects.

Biomonitoring systems and methods of loading and releasing the same
Biomonitoring systems and methods of loading and releasing the same are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a biomonitoring system includes a wearable sensor patch and an applicator. The sensor patch has a filament and an electronics subsystem. The sensor patch is configured to detect a parameter of an analyte in fluid of a user when it is adhered to the user's skin and the filament extends into the user's tissue. The applicator includes first and second applicator portions and a spring positioned within an interior of the second application portion between the first and second applicator portions. When the applicator transitions from a loaded mode to a released mode, the spring transitions from a first state of compression to a second, lower state of compression and accelerates the first applicator portion and the wearable sensor patch toward the user's skin such that the filament extends into the user's tissue.
