A non-transitory computer readable medium storing data and computer implementable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for generating cross section views of a wound, the operations including receiving 3D information of a wound based on information captured using an image sensor associated with an image plane substantially parallel to the wound; generating a cross section view of the wound by analyzing the 3D information; and providing data configured to cause a presentation of the generated cross section view of the wound.

A discrete wavelet transform-based noise removal apparatus and a remote medical diagnosis system using the same. The discrete wavelet transform-based noise removal apparatus can effectively remove noise from various medical images including ultrasound images, images indicative of results of biological or chemical reaction on a bio-disc, images obtained by medical devices, and images for telemedicine.

A self-authenticating electrocardiography and physiological sensor monitor is provided. A strip includes two rounded ends with a mid-section between the rounded ends. An electrocardiographic electrode is provided on each of the rounded ends. A flexible circuit is mounted to a surface of the strip and includes a circuit trace electrically coupled to each of the electrocardiographic electrodes. A flash memory is positioned on one of the rounded ends to store ECG data collected via the electrocardiographic electrodes and a battery is positioned on one of the rounded ends. A processor is positioned on one of the rounded ends and configured to execute an authentication protocol that checks voltage of the battery and a state of the flash memory, and determines an expiration of the strip.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for the management of multiple sensor control devices and/or multiple reader devices in an in vivo analyte monitoring environment, and also for resolving conflicts when merging data collected by different reader devices.

A system and method for atrial fibrillation detection in non-noise ECG data with the aid of a digital computer are provided. Electrocardiography (ECG) features and annotated patterns of the features are maintained in a database, at least some of the patterns associated with atrial fibrillation. A classifier is trained based on the annotated patterns, the classifier implemented by a convolutional neural network. A representation of an ECG signal recorded by one or more ambulatory monitors is received. Noise is detected in the representations and ECG features in the representation falling within each of the non-noise temporal windows are detected. The trained classifier is used to identify patterns of the ECG features. A value indicative of whether portions of the representation are associated the patient experiencing atrial fibrillation is calculated. That one or more of the portions are associated with the patient experiencing atrial fibrillation is determined.
