The platform may display unique, dynamic testing interfaces to the patient and proctor to ensure proper testing protocols and accurate test result verification.

NASAL DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD OF MEASURING AN ASPECT OF GAS FLOWING THROUGH A USER'S NOSE
20230107113 · 2023-04-06 ·

A nasal device is provided to measure an aspect of gas flowing through a user's nose. The nasal device includes a body having a first interior side and a second, opposing interior side. The body forms a lumen between the first interior side and the second interior side through which the gas flows into and out of the user's nose. The nasal device further includes an emitter coupled to the first interior side and configured to emit emitted energy, a detector coupled to the second interior side and configured to receive detected energy, and a wireless transceiver coupled to the body and configured to transmit data corresponding to at least one of the emitted energy and the detected energy.

NON-INVASIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR COVER
20230133491 · 2023-05-04 ·

A sensor cover according to embodiments of the disclosure is capable of being used with a non-invasive physiological sensor, such as a pulse oximetry sensor. Certain embodiments of the sensor cover reduce or eliminate false readings from the sensor when the sensor is not in use, for example, by blocking a light detecting component of a pulse oximeter sensor when the pulse oximeter sensor is active but not in use. Further, embodiments of the sensor cover can prevent damage to the sensor. Additionally, embodiments of the sensor cover prevent contamination of the sensor.

ORAL PATIENT TRACKING DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
20230138547 · 2023-05-04 ·

A patient tracking device for insertion into an oral cavity includes a sensor housing comprising a first surface shaped to correspond to a pallet within the oral cavity. At least a portion of the first surface affixes the sensor housing to the oral cavity. An electromagnetic sensor is coupled to the sensor housing.

Enhanced Pulse Oximetry Systems and Methods for the Diagnoses of Sleep-Associated Breathing Disorders

The present specification describes a system and method of detecting sleep disordered breathing, that includes acquiring a set of unconditioned sleep test data that includes oximetry data and at least one other physiological sensor data; sampling the set of unconditioned sleep test data; storing the sampled set of unconditioned sleep test data; receiving, through a display, an input indicative of a degree of analyzing to be applied to the sampled set of unconditioned sleep test data; based on said input, applying a corresponding degree of analyzing to the unprocessed sleep test data to generate processed sleep test data; and visually displaying the processed sleep test data.

NOSE SENSOR

A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a detector. The detector is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the detector. The nose sensor can include an inner prong and an outer prong to assist the nose sensor in securing to a patient's nose. The detector can be coupled to an inner post of the inner prong and can be configured to secure to an interior or exterior portion of the patient's nose.

FIXATION METHOD FOR A NASAL SEPTUM SENSOR FOR MEASURING MEDICAL PARAMETERS

When measuring SpO2 in a patient, a nasal oximeter is inserted into the patient's nose and comprises a source pad (14) and a detector pad (18) that are positioned at a predetermined location on either side of the nasal septum. The source pad and detector pad are biased toward each other to provide a clamping force on the nasal septum sufficient to permit SpO2 measurement without causing tissue necrosis. Clamping force is supplied by means of a spring type device, an expandable material, or the like.

Provided according to embodiments of the invention are photoplethysmography probes designed for use on a user's nasal alar. Methods of using such photoplethysmography probes are also provided herein.

Devices, systems and methods for detecting a bilateral differential in olfactory threshold for pure odorants
09801581 · 2017-10-31 · ·

The present system is directed in various embodiments to devices, systems and methods for detection, evaluation and/or monitoring olfactory dysfunction by measuring and determining the patient's olfactory detection threshold for the left and the right nostril. More specifically, the present invention relates to devices, systems and methods for detecting an asymmetric differential in a patient's olfactory detection threshold (left vs right nostril) which, when present, may be used as a device to detect, diagnose and/or monitor olfactory deterioration resulting from certain neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR TRACKING AND COMPENSATING FOR PATIENT MOTION DURING A MEDICAL IMAGING SCAN

An optical marker apparatus or device for tracking and compensating for patient motion during a medical imaging scan can comprise one or more optical markers, one or mounts, and a substrate. The one or more optical markers can be adapted to be detected by one or more detectors and/or cameras of a medical imaging scanner and/or motion tracking system. One or more mounts can be configured to attach the one or more markers to the substrate. The substrate, in turn, can be configured to be attached to one or more regions of a subject patient's body. For example, in some embodiments, a substrate can be adapted to be placed or otherwise attached over a nose bridge of a patient.
