An arrangement may include a first system provided for processing physiological data representative of a beating heart. The first system may be adapted to execute a process for using at least one pattern to detect a notable finding in the physiological data and for sending the notable finding to a second system. The second system may be adapted to execute a process for analyzing the notable finding, for determining at least one new pattern to send to the first system, and for sending the at least one new pattern to the first system. The at least one new pattern may also include a rule that includes a set of conditions and an action to perform if the set of conditions is met.

The present invention is an adjustment means for a mandibular advancement device. The mandibular advancement device being of the type having both intraoral and extraoral portions, including a body portion that is at the interface between the intraoral and extraoral portions and thereby is part intraoral and part extraoral. The extraoral portion includes a lower arm that is substantially straight and extends directly outwardly from the extraoral part of the body portion, and a curved upper arm that curves upwardly from the lower arm and back towards the face of a person using the device. The posterior end of the upper arm includes a pad assembly that is adapted to make contact with, and apply pressure to, the subnasal maxillary bone of the wearer. A substantial portion of the lower arm is engageable with motorised means that are encapsulated within the body portion and are adapted to engage with the lower arm and cause it to slide further out of, or slidably retract further into, the body portion.

Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for properly using and locating object retention wands via the use of at least one sensor located on or in the wand body for determining when the wand is capable of properly scanning a target area. In one form, a proximity sensor is used. In another form a motion sensor is used. In still other forms, both a proximity sensor and motion sensor are used. In some forms, the wand system further includes an indicator for indicating whether the wand is within proper read range, speed and/or orientation of a target area so as to confirm proper use of the wand to locate retained objects before concluding a procedure. In other forms one or more of a user interface, scanner and network interface may also be used with the system. Further systems, methods and apparatus are also disclosed herein.

An electrocardiography monitor is provided. A sealed housing includes one end wider than an opposite end of the sealed housing. Electronic circuitry is provided within the sealed housing. The electronic circuitry includes an electrographic front end circuit to sense electrocardiographic signals and a micro-controller interfaced to the electrocardiographic front end circuit to sample the electrocardiographic signals. A buzzer within the housing outputs feedback to a wearer of the sealed housing.

An analyte monitoring system and method. The analyte monitoring system may include an analyte sensor and a transceiver. The analyte sensor may include an analyte indicator that exhibits one or more detectable properties based on an amount or concentration of an analyte in proximity to the indicator. The transceiver may be configured to receive one or more measurements from the sensor. The transceiver may be configured to assess in real time a performance of the sensor based on at least the one or more measurements. The transceiver may be configured to determine whether the performance of the sensor is deficient based at least on the assessed performance of the sensor. The transceiver may be configured to calculate an analyte level based on at least the one or more sensor measurements. The transceiver may be configured to determine whether the calculated analyte level is a spike.

Augmented and/or mixed reality systems for performing various types of arthroplasty are provided, along with methods of performing various types of arthroplasty using such augmented reality systems. More particularly, the augmented and/or mixed reality system and method is used to achieve accurate bone preparation, implant placement and orientation, and biomechanical restoration in orthopaedic arthroplasty procedures. Preparation, implantation, and adjustment of arthroplasty surgical sites, prosthetic components, and tailoring and positioning of installed prosthetic components can be guided using augmented reality overlays, projections, or combined imaging of a surgeon's real-world view.

Technologies and implementations for a wearable healthcare system including one or more electrodes, which may detect and determine smart leads off conditions of the one or more electrodes. The wearable healthcare system may include a leads off monitor module, which may be configured to learn when and when not to cause a leads off alert.

In one aspect, a sample collection device for collecting a biological sample is disclosed, which comprises a sample-receiving cup having a body that extends from a proximal opening to a distal opening, where the proximal opening is configured for receiving a biological sample. The sample collection device further includes a sensor comprising at least one sensing unit, where the sensor is sealingly connected to the distal opening of the sample-receiving cup such that the sensing unit is exposed to the distal opening. A reservoir for storing one or more sample-processing reagents is provided in the fluid-receiving cup such that the sensing unit is in fluid contact with the reagent(s) stored in the reservoir. A frangible membrane separates the reservoir from the proximal opening.

The present disclosure relates to a notification method of a continuous glucose monitoring system. A notification method of a continuous glucose monitoring system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: performing a communication connection between a body attachment unit and a communication terminal for the communication terminal to receive blood glucose data measured from the body attachment unit which is attached to a human body and continuously measures blood glucose; transmitting information on the body attachment unit from the body attachment unit to the communication terminal and calculating a remaining use period of the body attachment unit; and generating, in the communication terminal, a notification on the remaining use period of the body attachment unit. According to the present disclosure, as the notification for the remaining period of the body attachment unit is generated in the communication terminal, there is an effect wherein a user can prepare in advance a body attachment unit to be replaced before the use period of the body attachment unit ends.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including at least one electronic component, and a pad structure coupled with the housing, and attached to a user body. The pad structure includes a first adhesive material having an adhesive strength at which the electronic device holds attachment in response to lack of existing water or humidity, and a second adhesive material abutting the first adhesive material and having an adhesive strength at which the electronic device holds the attachment in response to existing water or humidity.
