Disclosed is a massage apparatus including a processor configurable to receive a first dataset associated with a physio-logical parameter of an individual to derive a first emotional indication of the individual; wherein the first emotional indication and the first dataset are configured as inputs to derive a second emotional indication of the individual.

An automated chest compression device for performing CPR, with distance sensors disposed on a compressing mechanism and on a structure fixed relative to the CPR patient, for determining inferior/superior movement of the compressing mechanism over the course of multiple compressions.

A wearable medical device comprises a garment configured to be worn about a torso of a patient. The wearable medical device further comprises a CPR sensor for detecting a characteristic of a CPR therapy provided to the patient. The CPR sensor is coupled to the garment to provide movement between a stowed position and a deployed position. The CPR sensor is positioned at a center of a chest of the patient when the CPR sensor is in the deployed position. The wearable medical device further comprises an output device. The wearable medical device further comprises a processor configured for processing information from the CPR sensor and providing, to the output device, information about the CPR therapy provided to the patient.

A sexual stimulation device comprising: (a) an elongate member comprising a proximal end, and a distal end dimensioned for placement in an orifice of a user; (b) an external stimulation arm comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and an external stimulation surface; and (c) a flexible connecting portion that connects the elongate member to the external stimulation arm at their respective proximal ends; wherein the flexible connecting portion permits movement of the external stimulation arm relative to the elongate member between an open position and a compressed position.

Apparatuses and methods are provided for automatically determining which type of resuscitation treatment is most appropriate for a patient. Methods are provided that include the following. One or more time domain signal measurements are transformed into frequency domain data representative of a frequency content of the one or more time domain signal measurements. The frequency domain data is processed to identify peaks. For each of the peaks, for each of multiple points in time, multiple parameters of the peak are determined. Based on the multiple parameters of the peaks for each of the multiple points in time, a trajectory is determined. The determined trajectory is analyzed in determining a recommended type of resuscitation treatment. An output indication is provided of the recommended type of resuscitation treatment.

A resuscitation device for assisting a rescuer in resuscitating a patient. A handheld computing/communication device may be configured for performing a non-resuscitation function during time periods when resuscitation is not required, the handheld device may be further configured to provide CPR prompts during time periods when used by a rescuer to assist in resuscitation, and a sensor may be provided to measure a parameter (e.g., chest acceleration) relevant to resuscitation. A CPR-assistance element may be configured to be applied to the patient and to communicate with the handheld computing/communication device.

A portable medical device having improved ECG trace display and reporting. Embodiments implement features to ameliorate artifacts created by virtue of attempting to eliminate compression artifacts due to mechanical compression devices. Other embodiments additionally implement features to seek to detect the occurrence of ROSC while chest compressions are ongoing.

A system for assisting a user in providing chest compressions to a patient includes: a first motion sensor configured for measuring motion of a first region of a thorax of the patient; and a first housing physically coupled with the first motion sensor. The first housing includes: a first frame for holding the first motion sensor in place, and a textured padding for receiving at least a portion of at least one hand of the user during chest compressions. The textured padding covers the first frame and the first motion sensor. The textured padding comprises an exterior having a plurality of raised surface features. The system also includes: a second motion sensor configured for measuring motion of a second region of the thorax of the patient; and a second housing physically coupled with the second motion sensor and having a second frame for holding the first motion sensor in place.

Apparatus for automatic delivery of chest compressions and ventilation to a patient. The apparatus includes a chest compressing device configured to deliver compression phases during which pressure is applied to compress the chest and decompression phases during which approximately zero pressure is applied to the chest a ventilator configured to deliver positive, negative, or approximately zero pressure to the airway; control circuitry and processor, wherein the circuitry and processor are configured to cause the chest compressing device to repeatedly deliver a set containing a plurality of systolic flow cycles, each systolic flow cycle including a systolic decompression phase and a systolic compression phase, and at least one diastolic flow cycle interspersed between sets of systolic flow cycles, each diastolic flow cycle including a diastolic decompression phase and a diastolic compression phase, wherein the diastolic decompression phase is substantially longer than the systolic decompression phase.

A medical device system for providing sensor data capture includes a medical device that may include one or more removably coupled sensor hubs and that includes a display to provide sensor data and at least one data interface (DI) port that may be a sensor-agnostic DI (SA-DI) port and a data transfer cable that may be compatible with the sensor-agnostic DI port and includes a first electromechanical connector configured to detachably couple to the SA-DI port and a second electromechanical connector configured to couple to the sensor and that includes a cable memory and processor configured to execute stored software to format sensor data according to a protocol of the SA-DI port, an authentication circuit, and a cable isolation device to limit patient leakage current flow from the medical device to the sensor and to electrically isolate the authentication circuit from the cable processor and the cable memory.
