The memory and associated circuitry is configured to store a device identifier to identify the resuscitation device; receive medical treatment information from the first medical device, the medical treatment information including at least one of: patient physiological data, patient characteristic data, and rescuer performance data; receive timing information of the medical treatment information from the first medical device; record the medical treatment information and the timing information; and transfer, upon detecting a connection to the second medical device, the medical treatment information and the timing information to the second medical device.

A computing system (118) includes a computer readable storage medium (122) with computer executable instructions (124), including a biophysical simulator (126) and an electrocardiogram signal analyzer (128). The computing system further includes a processor (120) configured to execute the electrocardiogram signal analyzer determine myocardial infarction characteristics from an input electrocardiogram and to execute the biophysical simulator to simulate a fractional flow reserve or an instant wave-free ratio index from input cardiac image data and the determined myocardial infarction characteristics.

An emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device is disclosed herein. The emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device incorporates electrical conducting materials and elastic material into a pad that is applied to a chest wall of a patient, which places multiple electrodes in the appropriate anatomic locations on the patient to quickly obtain an ECG in a pre-hospital setting.

Device and methods for detection and classification of pathogens have an imaging module, an image processing module, and a display module. The imaging module has a plurality of light sources to expose a sample to excitation radiation at various wavelengths. A detector in the imaging module synchronously captures time-resolved fluorescence emission spectra, time-resolved reflectance, and transmittance spectra at multiple spectral bands from the sample. The image processing module resolves the spectra and compares obtained spectral parameters to set of standard parameters provided in a library database to determine a match to detect and classify pathogens.

The present disclosure describes a closed-loop fluid resuscitation and/or cardiovascular drug administration system that uses continuous measurements and adaptive control architecture. The adaptive control architecture uses a function approximator to identify unknown dynamics and physiological parameters of a patient to compute appropriate infusion rates and to regulate the endpoint of resuscitation.

Various methods and systems are provided for diagnosing tendon damage using an ultrasound imager. In one example, a method may include acquiring an ultrasound image of an anatomical feature, pairing, via a trained neural network, the acquired ultrasound image to a sample image of a sample anatomical feature, determining a degree of damage of the anatomical feature based on the sample image, and displaying the acquired ultrasound image and the sample image simultaneously.
