The present technology provides for a remote continuous monitoring system that monitors a patient's vital signs and generates an alarm in response to detecting a likely onset of an adverse event. The monitoring system advantageously allows patients recovering from clinical treatments to do so at home, outside of a hospital. Furthermore, the monitoring system provides continuous monitoring of patient vital signs, which advantageously provides more information than intermittent manual measurements of patient vital signs typical in a hospital. The monitoring system, therefore, may more readily and more timely detect a likely onset of an adverse event.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be diagnosed by affixing a plurality of light sources and a plurality of light detectors against the subject's body near a joint, and sequentially transmitting light from each of the plurality of light sources into the subject's body. Signals are acquired from each of the plurality of light detectors. The rise time of the acquired signals that occurs in response to an inflation of a pressure cuff is determined, and an indication of whether the joint is affected by SLE is made based on the determined rise time. In some embodiments, a plateau time of the acquired signals is also acquired, and the indication of whether the joint is affected by SLE is made based on the determined rise time and the determined plateau time.

A system and method for collecting symptomatic data to screen for a targeted disease. Testing hardware incorporates a plurality of testing units with corresponding indicators that can be altered to indicate whether a symptom is present or not. The resulting data from the testing use can then be analyzed to determine the likelihood of presence of a disease.

The method involves using a digital badge device worn on the chest of a user to visually convey personal attributes to others in line of sight. It begins by configuring the badge device to communicate wirelessly with the user's mobile device. Next, a personal attribute of the user is determined based on input from the user or device-captured data. This attribute could relate to the user's affiliation, emotional state, physical activity, and more. Finally, a pre-defined color and/or symbol code representing the determined attribute is displayed on the badge device's screen for others to see. This provides an easily interpretable visual cue to communicate specific personal attributes to different users. By employing this method, the badge wearer can convey information about themselves without the need for verbal communication. The method offers a convenient and efficient way to signal personal attributes in situations where direct interaction may be limited or impractical.

Systems and methods are disclosed that facilitate providing guidance to a user during performance of a program or routine using a personalized avatar. In an aspect, a system includes a reception component configured to receive biochemical information about a physiological state or condition of a user, including information identifying a presence or a status of one or more biomarkers. The system further includes an analysis component configured to determine or infer one or more characteristics of the physiological state or condition of the user based on the information identifying the presence or the status of the one or more biomarkers, and a visualization component configured to adapt an appearance of an avatar presented to the user based on the one or more characteristics to reflect the one or more characteristics.

A surgical computing system may receive measurement data from at least one sensing system. The measurement data may be associated with a set of patient biomarkers of a patient. A surgical computing system may obtain a set of patient parameters associated with the patient. A surgical computing system may generate vectorized patient data based on at least the measurement data and a set of patient-specific parameters. A surgical computing system may use a predictive model to predict an occurrence of a prolonged air leak (PAL) based at least on the vectorized patient data. A surgical computing system may generate a set of recommendations for preventing the PAL.

A surgical computing system may receive usage data associated with movement of a surgical instrument and user inputs to the surgical instrument. The surgical computing system may receive motion and/or biomarker sensor data from sensing systems applied to the operator of the surgical instrument. The surgical computing system may determine, based on at least one of the usage data and/or the sensor data, a control feature for implementation by the surgical instrument. The surgical computing system may communicate the determined control feature(s) to the surgical instrument. The surgical instrument may modify its operation based on the control features.
