A method for administering an exposure treatment of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses a mobile app and a server application. A user state of a patient undergoing a first step of the CBT based on the patient's condition during the first step is detected by sensors of the patient's smartphone. A situational state of the patient's surroundings during the first step is detected by the smartphone sensors. The mobile app determines whether the patient has made progress performing the first step. A user prompt is generated based on the user state and situational state. A next step of the CBT is configured based on the user state and situational state. The characteristics of the user prompt are generated using machine learning based on past task completions by the patient and other users so as to increase the likelihood that the patient will complete the next step of the CBT.

A skin measuring microscope includes a housing, an electronic imager disposed along an imaging axis, and an illumination system. The illumination system includes a plurality of LEDs disposed in a ring-like configuration adjacent a distal end of the housing.

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for determining the refractive error of a patient, more particularly determining the patient's refractive error by using a computerized screen, and providing a prescription for the patient's preferred type of corrective lenses. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a method for determining a corrective lenses prescription of a patient. The method includes, separately, for each eye of the patient, determining an astigmatism prescription for the patient via a computerized screen and without the use of a refractor lens assembly, including instructing the patient to move a known, fixed distance away from a computerized screen and testing for a cylinder component by sequentially presenting at least two cylinder diagrams to the patient via the computerized screen and enabling the patient to select at least one input per cylinder diagram, where those inputs correspond to cylinder measurements for determining the prescription.

A system and method for voice control of operating room electrical equipment. The system comprises an electrosurgical generator having a controller with a memory, a graphical user interface controlled by said controller, a power module, a field programmable gate array, and a voice recognition module connected to said field programmable gate array, a data storage connected to said controller in said electrosurgical generator; and electrical operating room equipment connected to said voice recognition module, wherein said electrical operating room equipment is configured to receive and decrypt encrypted commands from said voice recognition module. The audio input to the voice recognition system may be a microphone chip in a electrosurgical accessory.

One or more example embodiments provides a method for speech control of a medical apparatus, a corresponding speech control apparatus, a medical system comprising the speech control apparatus, a computer program product and a computer-readable storage medium.

Systems, methods and devices for surgical procedurelization via a modular energy system are disclosed herein. In various aspects, the systems, methods and devices include an energy module, a header module communicably coupled to the energy module, and a display screen capable of rendering a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI may be configured to display a plurality of steps that correspond with actions performed by a user while operating the modular energy system. In some aspects, the steps displayed are steps of a predetermined procedural checklist corresponding with a mental model followed by the user while performing a surgical procedure. In some aspects, the steps displayed are steps of an output verification process.

An apparatus may be configured for documenting a code blue scenario when adhered to the chest of a subject undergoing resuscitation by sensing and transmitting information associated with the code blue scenario. Such information may include one or more of vital signs of the subject during resuscitation, information associated with chest movements of the subject during resuscitation, and audio information from an environment of the subject during resuscitation. A computing platform that is separate and distinct from the apparatus may provide code blue documentation conveying information related to the vital signs of the subject and derived from the audio information from the environment of the subject during resuscitation.

A medical system (300) comprises a medical examination apparatus (302) and a wearable patient device (100). The medical examination apparatus (302) comprises an examination zone for a patient (304), and the wearable patient device (100) comprises a user interface operable by a hand of the patient when the patient (304) is positioned in the examination zone of the medical examination apparatus (302). The wearable patient device (100) is communicatively connected with the medical examination apparatus (302) via a wireless connection, for sending a control command corresponding to input received from the patient via the user interface of the wearable patient device (100), the control command being adapted to control a patient-controllable part or parameter (308) of the medical examination apparatus (302).

An automated control, a switch and automated actuator for spring-based end effectors of a medical instrument to be used by a single operator without assistance for multiple biopsy, clipping, clamping, grasping, snaring, cutting, dissecting or other operative functions with electrical connections for cautery or hot biopsy used independently or combined with a rigid or flexible endoscope of any size. The actuator may be a spring(s), gear(s), electrical solenoid or motor, air or hydraulic pressure activated piston or a combination thereof. Automated action may be initiated by a voice, hand or foot operated switch. The actuator may be disposable, attached to or separable from the end effector or permanently attached to be reusable. The actuator and end effector may be disposable, attached to or separable from the endoscope or permanently attached to be reusable. The automated device may be incorporated into an endoscope or attached to the outside.

A system can perform image capture during a medical procedure. The system can record video from one or more video sources. The system can store the recorded video in a cached memory as stored video. The system can receive a triggering event, such as receiving a signal, operation of an actuator, or issuance of a voice command. In response to the triggering event, the system can capture a video segment from the stored video. Because the video segment is captured from stored video, the video segment can optionally include video and/or frames that occurred before the triggering event is received.
