Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to neural stimulation via audio and visual stimulations. The combination and/or sequence of audio and visual brain stimulations can adjust, control or otherwise manage the frequency of the neural oscillations to provide beneficial effects to one or more cognitive states or cognitive functions of the brain, while mitigating or preventing adverse consequences on a cognitive state or cognitive function that stems from sleep deprivation. In doing so, the present systems and methods can reduce sleep fragmentation, improve sleep quality, and slow the progression of cognitive decline in a subject with Alzheimer's disease and MCI.

Provided is a respiratory monitoring device that measures and outputs the substantial use time of an oxygen supply device. A respiratory monitoring device (4) used in combination with an oxygen supply device (1) delivering highly concentrated oxygen gas includes a detection unit (6) that detects a change in breathing-related information representing at least one of a pressure, a flow rate, and a gas temperature, based on exhalation and inhalation, a calculation unit (725) that calculates a respiratory rate, based on the change in breathing-related information, a determination unit (726) that determines whether breathing is present, and whether a user of the oxygen supply device is present, based on the respiratory rate, a measurement unit (727) that measures a duration in which a user of an oxygen supply device has been determined to be present, based on a determination result obtained by the determination unit, and an output unit (728) that outputs a cumulative measurement result for the duration.

A vaporization device includes biometric recognition systems. A vaporizer device is provided. The vaporizer device includes a vaporizer body comprising a cartridge receptacle, a heating element, a power source, and a sensor. The vaporizer device further includes a vaporizer cartridge that is selectively coupled to the vaporizer body, the vaporizer cartridge comprising one or more translucent surfaces and a passageway between the sensor and the one or more translucent surfaces. The vaporizer device further includes a controller configured to determine, based on data from the sensor, whether a user is authorized to use the vaporizer device. The controller further configured to provide power to the heating element to generate an aerosol responsive to determining the authorization of the user. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also described.

A syringe is provided having a hub with an orifice, first and second barrels having interior surfaces to form respective lumens, a slider, and an optional test indicator. The first and second barrels slideably receive respective first and second plungers for movement therein. The slider is operable to provide a fluidly communicative path between the orifice of the hub and the first and second barrel lumens. The optional test indicator is responsive to at least one characteristic of bodily fluid, the test indicator positioned to be exposed to any bodily fluid drawn into the first barrel lumen and visible from an exterior of the first barrel.

A steam room for sanitizing people's external body parts and clothes, but also their breathing airways and respiratory tract, to reduce viral load and thereby mitigate the likelihood of spreading or contracting Viral contamination. Steam room has precise temperature and relative humidity control of a heater and mist generator, in which the mist water molecules contain an accurate concentration of a Chlorine or Ethanol based disinfectant, so that the water vapor or combined air/water mixture in the room that comes in contact with the sanitized person reaches but does not surpass the globally permitted concentration of free Chlorine for swimming pools, dressing rooms and spas. The room has thermally isolated quick doors allowing rapid entry and exit, and the signaling to guide the person when to enter, stay and breath, and exit, in the most suitable timing profile for the application.

A system for measuring the vital parameters of low care patients is described. The system includes a connecting element for a nasal cannula or breathing mask for providing a fluidic connection with the patient and a flow and/or pressure sensor in fluidic connection with the nasal cannula or breathing mask, for sensing, when the nasal cannula or breathing mask is connected to the system, at least a negative pressure signal. The system also includes a processor configured for deriving, directly based on said at least a negative pressure signal, information related to the breathing cycle, and an output means configured for outputting at least one vital parameter of the patient, the outputting comprising outputting information related to the breathing cycle.

A medication delivery system having a holding chamber capable of delivering dosages of medicament from a metered dose inhaler. The holding chamber includes an actuator detector, flow detector and display. In another embodiment, a medication delivery system includes a holding chamber having an input and an output end, a metered dose inhaler operably coupled to the input end of the holding chamber, and a metered dose inhaler identifier associated with the holding chamber and operable to identify the metered dose inhaler coupled to the holding chamber.

An electrical information device and a medicament delivery device are presented. The electrical information device includes at least one start of delivery sensor configured to detect a distal axial movement of a release member of the medicament delivery device. The release member is configured to be distally moved when an activator member of the medicament delivery device 1 is forced distally. The electrical information device also includes at least one information communication unit, which is configured to communicate information related to the medicament delivery. The electrical information device further includes at least one activation unit, which is configured to activate the at least one information communication unit based on a detected distal axial movement of the release member.

Systems and methods for detecting extubation of an endotracheal tube (ETT) are described. Extubation of the ETT can be identified by comparing to a threshold, a difference between a determined first volume of breathing gas during a first inspiratory period to a determined second volume of breathing gas during a second inspiratory period. If the difference exceeds the threshold, an alarm can be activated indicating extubation. Extubation detection may also be based on a difference between inspiratory pressures during separate inspiratory periods. Partial extubation and full extubation may also be discerned. Further, extubation of an ETT may be detected without the use of an exhalation flow sensor.

The present disclosure relates to charging accessory device for the aerosol delivery device and related systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing interactive services for aerosol delivery devices. For example, a method may include a computing device establishing communication with a charging accessory device for an aerosol delivery device; receiving usage data for the aerosol delivery device provided by the charging accessory device; generating social data based on the usage data; and sending the social data to a social networking service including a community of aerosol delivery device users.
