A method for prediction of a head impact event mechanism via an instrumented mouthguard device comprises receiving, as input, time series data representative of a head impact event, wherein the time series data is derived from the instrumented mouthguard device. The instrumented mouthguard device includes one or more accelerometers. The method further comprises generating an array of spatial coordinates representing points on a computer head model, and processing the time series data to determine a direction of impact and location of impact relative to the computer head model.

The present disclosure relates to a respiratory system for exercising and analysing respiration of a subject comprising: a breathing unit comprising: a mouthpiece connected to: at least one inhalation air way, at least one exhalation air way, and an electronic sensor unit comprising at least one pressure gauge for measuring air pressure in the mouthpiece, and a processing unit for collecting/storing and/or transmitting air pressure data.

An intra-oral scanning device includes a light source and an optical system, and communicates with a display system. The device has a reduced form factor as compared to prior devices, and it provides for more efficient transmission and capture of images.

A power supply device includes: a power supply circuit configured to supply power to a vital sensor; a capacitor electrically connected to the power supply circuit; a connector configured to supply power for charging the capacitor; and a shield case covering at least the power supply circuit and the capacitor to shield an electromagnetic wave.

An intraoral stimulation device configured to be positioned in a mouth of a patient. The device includes a sensor and one or more electrodes. The sensor is configured to monitor a position of the tongue and/or force exerted by the tongue against the sensor and to transmit a signal encoding tongue information. The electrode(s) is/are configured to deliver electrical stimuli to the patient's hard palate when the tongue information indicates that the tongue has moved from a desired position to an undesired position in the mouth. The electrical stimuli causes the tongue to move from the undesired position to the desired position.

An oral appliance (100) comprising a sensing arrangement (101) disposed in proximity to at least one part of a facial muscle complex of a user. A method of controlling the oral appliance (100) comprising sensing, with the sensing arrangement (101), the at least one part of the facial muscle complex being brought towards the sensing arrangement; and in response to sensing the at least one part of the facial muscle complex being brought towards the sensing arrangement (101), controlling the oral appliance (100) to perform an action. An external processing unit (200) is arranged to interact with the oral appliance (100) in response to the oral appliance (100) performing the action.

A medical device control unit is provided. The control unit may include a communications interface, a memory, and at least one processing device. The processing device may be configured to cause application of a control signal to a primary antenna associated with a unit external to a subject's body. The processing device may further be configured to monitor a feedback signal indicative of the subject's breathing and store, in the memory, information associated with the feedback signal. The processing device may also cause transmission of the stored information, via the communications interface, to a location remote from the control unit. The processing device may further be configured to receive an update signal, from the location remote from the control unit, and cause application of an updated control signal to the primary antenna based on the update signal.

An intraoral imaging system comprising an intraoral adapter. The intraoral adapter may be operably coupled to a mobile device. The intraoral adapter may comprise an elongated housing comprising a viewing channel. The viewing channel may define a field of view of an intraoral region of a subject's mouth for intraoral scanning using a camera of a mobile device. The elongated housing may comprise a flange that is positioned outside of the field of view of the intraoral region of the subject's mouth. The intraoral imaging system may further comprise an image processing unit configured to (i) process a plurality of intraoral images and/or videos captured using the camera of the mobile device, and (ii) determine a dental condition of the subject based at least in part on the plurality of intraoral images and/or videos.

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.

An implantable neurostimulator system including an electrical lead having formed thereon a pair of bipolar electrodes, the electrical lead is configured for placement of the pair of bipolar electrodes proximate protrusor muscles of a patient. The system also includes a pulse generator electrically connected to the electrical lead and configured to deliver electrical energy to the pair of bipolar electrodes, the pulse generator having mounted therein a sensor configured to detect one or more physiological parameters, a memory, a control circuit, and a telemetry circuit. The system also including a communications telemetry module (CTM) in communication with the telemetry circuit and configured to receive a data collected by the sensor and data related to delivery of electrical energy to the bipolar electrodes, and an external programmer in communication with the CTM and configured to display a user interface the data collected by the sensor and data related to delivery of electrical energy to the bipolar electrodes.
