Wireless intracranial monitoring system
Some embodiments of the present disclosure comprise improved systems and methods for monitoring physiological parameters such as intracranial pressure (“ICP”), intracranial temperature, and subject head position. For example, in some embodiments, an implantable apparatus for measuring ICP can be implanted into a subject skull. The apparatus can comprise an implant body having a hermetically sealed chamber housing a gas at a reference pressure, and a pressure conduction catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end is configured to extend into the brain through a burr hole in the skull and includes a plurality of ports. A barrier can cover the ports of the distal end of the pressure conduction catheter, wherein the barrier and pressure conduction catheter are filled with a number of gas molecules so that the barrier is not in tension in a predefined range of ICPs.
FLUID SAMPLING APPARATUS AND METHOD
A sampling apparatus can have an elongate tube and a liquid partitioning unit, first port can receive an incoming flow of test liquid and a second port may be coupled to the elongate tube. The liquid partitioning unit can combine the flow of test liquid with a plurality of partitioning elements to define a plurality of discrete liquid samples for movement along and storage in the elongate tube.
TRAINING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, TRAINING MANAGEMENT METHOD, TRAINING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AND TRAINING MANAGEMENT DEVICE
A system that can avoid training overemphasized by a taste of a user and prevent an injury or a trouble from being caused by an unnatural body motion by comparing, between the user and other users, evaluation values of parameters based on exercise data and analyzing training. A training management system includes data detecting means for detecting exercise data related to exercise of a user, parameter calculating means for calculating, on the basis of the detected exercise data, exercise information representing information concerning the exercise carried out by the user, evaluation-value calculating means for calculating an evaluation value of the user on the basis of the exercise information, comparison-target acquiring means for acquiring evaluation values of other users, and comparing means for comparing the evaluation value of the user and the evaluation values of the other users.
ENHANCED COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF AUTOMATED PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING, PROGNOSIS, AND TRIAGE
Systems and computer-implemented methods of automated physiological monitoring and prognosis of a plurality of subjects. A system includes a plurality of monitoring devices, each having a portion configured for deployment on a surface either opposite a concha or over a mastoid region of a subject, where real-time physiological parameter monitoring is performed. Each monitoring device also includes processor-executable program code configured to periodically generate respective values indicative of real-time physiological signs for the respective subject, and a transmitter configured to periodically and wirelessly transmit these periodically generated respective values to a mobile communication and display device. The mobile communication and display device is configured to use these periodically received respective values for the plurality of subjects from the plurality of monitoring devices to periodically generate a respective prognosis score for each subject, and to periodically generate an alert for at least two of the subjects.
SENSOR SYSTEM
According to an aspect, a sensor system includes: a first device including a first controller and a first communicator; and a plurality of second devices each including an altitude sensor, a blood oxygen saturation level sensor, a second controller, and a second communicator. The second controller of the second device is configured to transmit altitude information measured by the altitude sensor and biometric information measured by the blood oxygen saturation level sensor to the first device through the second communicator. The first device has determination information comprising determination thresholds for a blood oxygen saturation level corresponding to different altitudes. The first controller is configured to warn that the blood oxygen saturation level is lower than the determination threshold corresponding to the altitude information based on the altitude information and the biometric information received from each of the second devices through the first communicator and the determination information.
Auxiliary component for an equipment for cardiac autonomic neuropathy test and equipment that includes such a component
Equipment for carrying out cardiac autonomic neuropathy tests includes a base unit to which a mouthpiece is connected, forming an autonomous system for measuring the pressure and/or the pattern of breath, provided with a series of LEDs aimed at informing a patient, who is undergoing the test, about correctness or incorrectness of a test execution. The mouthpiece is provided with a flow sensor, aimed at measuring a patient's pattern of breath, and a pressure sensor. The mouthpiece includes also an atmospheric pressure sensor aimed at measuring the environmental pressure. The equipment includes also a sensor, aimed at measuring the heartbeat, applied by simple contact to the patient's wrist area, and an orthostatic measuring device aimed at measuring any change of the patient's position. Data can be introduced or analysed and the type of exam to do can be selected. Results of the tests can be stored in a memory.
MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, HEAD-MOUNTED DEVICE, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND SERVICE PROVIDING METHOD
A head mount apparatus mounted on a head of a user is disclosed, which includes: detection means to detect a variation of a bloodflow rate of the head; and transfer means to transfer a detection value of the detection means to a predetermined transfer destination. An information processing apparatus is also disclosed, which includes; receiving means to receive a detection value transferred from transfer means; and service providing means to provide a user with a service based on the received detection value.
