An angular distance between each vibration motor of the plurality of vibration motors is approximately the same. The control module includes a battery, and the first vibration assembly is in electrical communication with the control module.

A garment assembly that includes a garment member with an inner surface and an outer surface, a power source, and at least a first linear motor positioned adjacent the inner surface of the garment member. The first linear motor is electrically coupled to the power source and includes a shaft member that includes a magnet. A distal end of the shaft member is configured to reciprocate against the inner surface of the garment member.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for predicting a disease state of a subject using ultrasound imaging and ancillary information to the ultrasound imaging. At least two quantitative measurements of a subject, including at least one measurement taken using ultrasound imaging, as part of quantified information can be identified. One of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a first predetermined standard, included as part of ancillary information to the quantified information, in order to identify a first initial value. Further, another of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a second predetermined standard, included as part of the ancillary information, in order to identify a second initial value. Subsequently, the quantitative information can be correlated with the ancillary information using the first initial value and the second initial value to determine a final value that is predictive of a disease state of the subject.

Provided herein are systems and methods for calculating patient information. The method includes determining a transfer matrix, recording electric potentials via a first set of recording electrodes located at a first set of recording locations to create a first set of recorded signals, and calculating patient information for a set of target locations by applying the transfer matrix to the first set of recorded signals. The transfer matrix is a characterization of electrical properties of tissue between the first set of recording locations and the set of target locations.

A wearable device measures, tracks, and monitors a wearer's physical physiological conditions during a rehabilitation period. Metrics such as temperature, patellar shifting, limb circumference, and acceleration may be collected. Changes in monitored conditions may be assessed for detecting medical abnormalities which require specialized attention, including for example embolisms or infections. A networked communication system and various user interfaces may be used for medical support personnel and patients alike to stay updated with the patient's rehabilitation progress and to make adjustments in a patient's individual rehabilitation program.

The Biomechanical Integrity Score and its five components are calculated as a result of vaginal tactile probe insertion, elevation, rotation, Valsalva maneuver, voluntary pelvic muscle contraction, reflex contraction, and relaxation while the probe is in contact with vaginal walls for a comprehensive biomechanical characterization of the pelvic floor. The probe is equipped with a plurality of tactile sensors recording various static and dynamic pressure patterns during a vaginal examination.

In one embodiment, a system for heel-to-shin testing includes a patient interface configured to be applied to a shin of a patient and extend from a point on the shin adjacent the knee to a point on the shin adjacent the ankle, the patient interface including an elongated medial touch sensor configured to sense contact of a heel of the patient to a centerline of the shin at any axial position between the knee and the ankle, and a control module in electrical communication with the patient interface, the control module being configured to identify a number of times the patient's heel deviates from the centerline of the shin as the patient slides the heel down the shin or drags the heel up the shin.

A method for displaying real-time ablation growth projections is provided. The method includes applying, by a processor, an ablation model to image data of a patient. The ablation model is based on a position of an ablation probe, and the ablation probe is coupled to the processor. The method also includes displaying, on a display coupled to the processor, a projected ablation zone on the image data. The projected ablation zone is based on ablation parameters and the position of the ablation probe. The projected ablation zone includes a margin showing a confidence level. The method further includes ablating by the ablation probe. The ablating is based on an evaluation of the projected ablation zone with respect to a target. A system for performing a microwave ablation procedure is provided. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions is provided.

Provided is an apparatus configured to analyze a component of an object, the apparatus including a signal detection sensor including a light source configured to emit light to the object, a detector configured to detect a signal of light scattered or reflected from the object, an ultrasonic generator configured to transmit an ultrasonic wave toward the object at irregular ultrasonic transmission time intervals to modulate a frequency of the light emitted to the object, and a controller configured to control the ultrasonic transmission time intervals of the ultrasonic generator to be irregular, and a processor configured to control the signal detection sensor and analyze the component of the object based on the signal of light detected by the detector.

Embodiments of the technology developed are a non-contact air esthesiometer used for measuring corneal sensitivity. In certain embodiments, the apparatus takes the OKI DX-255 Basic Digital Fluid Dispenser and modifies it for use to produce a 2-second stream of room-temperature air directed at the center of a patient's cornea. The input to the device is a compressed air tank, IN which can be easily changed, connected to an inline filter. The output is a hose line connected to a valve that permits finer adjustments in airflow rate to a disposable 200-microliter-filter pipette tip. This outlet tip is secured with self-setting rubber and housed in a metal stand with horizontal and vertical travel that can be directly mounted to a standard slit lamp. Four red LED lights were placed around the air outflow that can be used for patient fixation and alignment on the central cornea.
