AUTOMATIC DEVICE CONFIGURATION VIA A NETWORK SERVICE
Methods and systems are provided for automatically configuring a first medical device. In accordance with the methods and the systems, a computing system can obtain prescription information for a patient. The prescription information comprises a device prescription. The computing system can transform the prescription information into first configuration data comprising therapy settings for a first medical device referenced by the device prescription. The computing system can cause automatic configuration of the first medical device based on communicating the first configuration data to the first medical device.
SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PREDICTING AND DETECTING POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
A monitoring device includes an input port attachable for fluid communication with a catheter, the catheter for insertion in a body of a user, for receiving fluid from the body of the user, an output port, generally parallel to the input port, in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir, a fluid channel defining fluid communication between the input port and the output port, and a biosensor for continuously measuring bio-signal data of the fluid in the fluid channel, the biosensor including an electrode pair. The biosensor is in communication with a computing device for determining a condition of the user based at least in part on the bio-signal data.
Blood pressure monitor
Described herein are methods, systems, and software for monitoring blood pressure. In some embodiments, a using a mobile device is used. The blood pressure monitoring system utilizes heart rate measurements at two separate locations on the body to calculate a differential pulse arrival time which is used to estimate blood pressure. The heart rate measurements can be taken simultaneously, or they can be taken sequentially while simultaneously taking ECG measurement. If taken sequentially, the heart rate measurements are aligned with the ECG to determine the differential. Accurate, inexpensive, and discreet blood pressure monitoring is thus provided.
Portable spirometer and method for monitoring lung function
A spirometer comprises a housing defining a fluid flow pathway extending between a first end and a second end, a first opening along the pathway and a second opening longitudinally spaced along the pathway from the first opening. A flow chamber defining a fluid flow pathway is disposed within the housing between the first opening and the second opening, the flow chamber including an elongated resistive element along the central longitudinal axis of the flow chamber for defining a flow passage through the flow chamber between the resistive element and the inner surface of the flow chamber. The flow chamber conditions fluid flow for accurate sensing of the fluid flow over a range. A pressure sensor is disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the first opening and the second opening for sensing a pressure differential between the first opening and the second opening and producing an electric signal that corresponds with the rate of fluid flow through the housing. The described spirometer and associated software has a variety of applications in the evaluation, diagnosis, monitoring, and improvement of respiratory conditions as well as digitally-delivered respiratory rehabilitation programs and clinical trials.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRACKING OF FOOD INTAKE AND OTHER BEHAVIORS AND PROVIDING RELEVANT FEEDBACK
A sensing device monitors and tracks food intake events and details. A processor, appropriately programmed, controls aspects of the sensing device to capture data, store data, analyze data and provide suitable feedback related to food intake. More generally, the methods might include detecting, identifying, analyzing, quantifying, tracking, processing and/or influencing, related to the intake of food, eating habits, eating patterns, and/or triggers for food intake events, eating habits, or eating patterns. Feedback might be targeted for influencing the intake of food, eating habits, or eating patterns, and/or triggers for those. The sensing device can also be used to track and provide feedback beyond food-related behaviors and more generally track behavior events, detect behavior event triggers and behavior event patterns and provide suitable feedback.
Monitoring and determining the state of health of a user
A method for identifying a change associated with a state of health of a user. In one embodiment, the method includes at least one computer processors receiving monitoring data associated with monitoring a user, where the monitoring data is generated by one or more sensors. The method further includes determining a state of health of the monitored user by analyzing the monitoring data utilizing one or more models. The method further includes determining a level of urgency based, at least in part, upon the determine state of health of the monitored user. The method further includes transmitting one or more respective notifications to one or more devices based, at least in part, on the determined state of health of the user and the corresponding level of level of urgency, and where a notification includes a determined state of health and the corresponding determined state of urgency associated with the monitored user.
Movement disorder therapy system, devices and methods, and intelligent methods of tuning
The present invention relates to methods for tuning treatment parameters in movement disorder therapy systems. The present invention further relates to a system for screening patients to determine viability as candidates for certain therapy modalities, such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). The present invention still further provides methods of quantifying movement disorders for the treatment of patients who exhibit symptoms of such movement disorders including, but not limited to, Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism, Dystonia, Chorea, and Huntington's disease, Ataxia, Tremor and Essential Tremor, Tourette syndrome, stroke, and the like. The present invention yet further relates to methods of tuning a therapy device using objective quantified movement disorder symptom data acquired by a movement disorder diagnostic device to determine the therapy setting or parameters to be provided to the subject via his or her therapy device. The present invention also provides treatment and tuning remotely, allowing for home monitoring of subjects.
CONTACTLESS COUGH DETECTION AND ATTRIBUTION
Methods, devices, and systems for contactless cough detection and attribution are presented herein. Audio data may be received using a microphone. A cough may be identified as having occurred based on the received audio data. Radar data may be received indicative of reflected radio waves from a radar sensor. A state analysis process may be performed using the received radar data. The detected cough may be attributed to a particular user based at least in part on the state analysis process performed using the radar data.

Bed apparatus and patient detection method
A bed apparatus includes: a mattress mounted on a bed body; and, first cells arranged on both left and right sides in a longitudinal direction of the bed body and is configured to change the body position of a patient on the mattress by inflating the first cells alternately. When the first cells on the left and right sides are inflated, and when a difference in pressure between the first cells on the left and right sides has continuously fallen within a decision pressure value range for a decision pressure value continuation time, the body position of the patient is changed, whereas when the difference has not continuously fallen within the pressure value range for the continuation time or when the difference has continuously fallen out of the pressure value range for the continuation time, change of the body position of the patient will not be performed.
