The invention is a wearable breast pump system including a housing shaped at least in part to fit inside a bra and a piezo air-pump. The piezo air-pump is fitted in the housing and forms part of a closed loop system that drives a separate, deformable diaphragm to generate negative air pressure. The diaphragm is removably mounted on a breast shield.

An herb vaporizing apparatus includes an herb receiving port, a grinder to grind the herb, and a heating chamber for heating the ground herb to create a vapor. A first end of the heating chamber is positioned closer to a top of the apparatus than a second end of the heating chamber, such that the ground herb generally moves in at least a partially downward direction as it travels through the heating chamber. The apparatus further includes a screw feeder positioned within the heating chamber that rotates and moves the ground herb within the heating chamber. The apparatus further includes an air pump for pumping vapor out of the heating chamber and a valve positioned along an airway between the heating chamber and a vapor output. The valve permits air and the vapor to move from the heating chamber to the vapor output only while the air pump is activated.

Disclosed is a voice-controlled drug injector, comprising an extension tube, a voice control receiver, and an injection pusher. One end of the extension tube is a liquid drug outlet and is connected to a needle, and the other end of the extension tube is a liquid drug inlet and is connected to one end of the injection pusher so as to form a drug flowing channel. The voice control receiver is connected to the other end of the injection pusher and is configured to receive a voice control instruction to control the injection pusher to perform drug injection. In accordance with the present disclosure, the pumpback and drug injection work requiring the cooperation of two people during conventional neural blockade operation can be completed by means of voice control of a single person, the labor consumption is greatly reduced, the operation time is saved, the neural block efficiency is improved.

Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate real-time response to defined symptoms are provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises: monitoring, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a state of an entity; detecting, by the system, defined symptoms of the entity by analyzing the state of the entity; and transmitting, by the system, a signal that causes audio response or a haptic response to be provided to the entity, wherein transmission of the signal that causes the audio response or the haptic response is based on detection of the defined symptoms.

Some embodiments have a pump assembly mounted to or supported by a dressing for reduced pressure wound therapy. The dressing can have visual pressure, saturation, and/or temperature sensors to provide a visual indication of the level of pressure, saturation, and/or temperature within the dressing. Additionally, the pump assembly can have a pressure sensor in communication with the flow pathway through the pump, and at least one switch or button supported by the housing, the at least one switch or button being accessible to a user and being in communication with the controller. The pump assembly can have a controller supported within or by the housing, the controller being configured to control an operation of the pump. The pump can be configured to be sterilized following the assembly of the pump such that all of the components of the pump have been sterilized.

Infusion devices and related medical devices, patient data management systems, and methods are provided for monitoring a physiological condition of a patient. An exemplary method of monitoring a physiological condition of a patient involves obtaining current measurement data for the physiological condition of the patient provided by a sensing arrangement, obtaining a user input indicative of one or more future events associated with the patient, and in response to the user input, determining a prediction of the physiological condition of the patient in the future based at least in part on the current measurement data and the one or more future events using one or more prediction models associated with the patient, and displaying a graphical representation of the prediction on a display device.

A system and method for facilitating and maintaining various states of a user consciousness, including the transition between a conscious and unconscious state, is provided. The system and method include use of a smart device having a user interface, a biometric sensor coupled to a user and configured to transmit the user's biometric data to the smart device and an environmental sensor configured to transmit environmental data to the smart device. The smart device controls one or more environmental systems proximate the user and an audio/visual device proximate the user to facilitate transitioning the state of the user.

A non-invasive ventilation voice amplification system includes a microphone module for placement in a non-invasive ventilation mask. The microphone module has a microphone element for detecting a patient's voice and a speaker for projecting the voice. The microphone module connects to a controller module that houses electronics for processing and amplifying the audio signal.

In general, systems and methods for controlling operation of drug administration devices using surgical hubs are provided.

In general, systems and methods for monitoring and communicating information using drug administration devices are provided.
