Method for configuring diabetes management device by healthcare provider
The present disclosure relates to a device configuration method for configuring a diabetes management device by a diabetes management system, the diabetes management system residing on a server computer, the method comprising: receiving, by the diabetes management system, a therapy setting instruction from a computing device, validating, by the diabetes management system, the credentials of the healthcare provider by way of a validation service based on the identification information, determining, by the diabetes management system, whether the therapy setting instruction is valid based on an association between the diabetes management system, the patient, and the healthcare provider; transmitting, by the diabetes management system, one or more parameters for configuring the feature defined by the therapy setting to the subject diabetes management device; and canceling, by the diabetes management system, the therapy setting instruction in response to the therapy setting instruction being invalid. Further, a method for issuing a prescription for configuring a diabetes management device by way of a prescription system and a diabetes management system, and a diabetes management system for processing a therapy setting instruction issued by a computing device operated by a healthcare provider is provided.
Physiological signal monitoring device
A physiological signal monitoring device includes a sensing member and a transmitter connected to the sensing member and including a circuit board that has electrical contacts, and a connecting port, which includes a socket communicated to the circuit board and a plurality of conducting springs disposed at two opposite sides of the socket. The sensing member is removably inserted into the socket. The conducting springs are electrically connected to the electrical contacts and the sensing member for enabling electric connection therebetween. Each of the conducting springs is frictionally rotated by the sensing member during insertion of the sensing member into the socket and removal of the sensing member from the socket.
Orthopedic system for pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative assessment
An orthopedic system configured for use in a pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative assessment. The orthopedic system comprises a first screw, a second screw, a first device, a second device, and a computer. The first device and the second device are respectively coupled to a first bone and a second bone of a musculoskeletal system. The first and second devices each include electronic circuitry, one or more sensors, and an IMU. A bracket, wrap, or sleeve can be used to hold the first and second devices to the musculoskeletal system. The first and second devices are configured to send measurement data to a computer. The first and second devices each have an antenna system. Electronic circuitry in the first or second devices are configured to harvest energy from a received radio frequency signal to recharge a battery to maintain operation.
Continuous analyte monitor inserter apparatus and methods
An inserter apparatus (e.g., a continuous analyte monitoring inserter apparatus) includes an outer member; an inner member; a transmitter carrier configured to support a transmitter and biosensor assembly during insertion of a biosensor, the transmitter carrier including a bias member; and a pivot member configured to pivot at times relative to the transmitter carrier and support an insertion device during biosensor insertion. The outer member is configured to press the bias member against the pivot member during insertion of the biosensor. During a first stroke portion of the insertion apparatus, the pivot member is prevented from pivoting. In a second stroke portion, pivoting is allowed, and the bias member causes, pivoting of the pivot member and retraction of the insertion device. Other systems and methods embodiments are provided.
Silicone Hydrogel Based Fluorescent Assay and Contact Lens
A material, article, system and method include a probe composition that includes a hydrophobic portion, a hydrophilic portion, an analyte-binding portion and a fluorophore portion. The analyte-binding portion is configured to bind to an analyte in an aqueous solution. The fluorophore portion is configured to change an optical property of fluorescent light emitted in response to incident excitation light when the probe composition changes between a first state in which the analyte is not bound to the analyte-binding portion and a second state in which the analyte binds to the analyte-binding portion. A material includes the probe composition and a silicone hydrogel substrate having a hydrogel network that allows flow of aqueous solution through the solution and a silicone network that occupies interstices of the hydrogel network. A contact lens having the material enables remote detection of glucose concentration in tear fluid of a subject.

METHOD FOR MEDICAL DETECTION, MEDICAL DETECTION DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A method for medical detection implemented in a medical detection device, includes a detection instruction being received by the device, the device detecting a temperature of a test strip and determining a measurement error rate corresponding to the actual temperature of the test strip, a relationship having been established between temperatures and measurement error rates for test strip temperatures. When the medical detection device receives the test strip that carries blood of a user, at least one physiological parameter based on the blood on the test strip is measured, and a measurement value of the at least one physiological parameter is obtained. And the measurement value is compensated according to the measurement error rate, and a correction value of the physiological parameter is thus obtained.
