Systems, methods, apparatuses, and devices, for the wireless communication of analyte data are provided. In some embodiments, a method and calibration station for calibrating a continuous analyte sensor system is provided. Methods and testing systems for testing a continuous analyte sensor system is provided. Continuous analyte sensor systems, display devices and peripheral devices configured for wireless communication of analyte, connection, alarm and/or alert data and associated methods are provided.

A sheet-shaped oral appliance is provided that is detachably attached to an oral body device and includes a functional portion with a sensor unit that acquires information in an oral cavity and an energy irradiation unit that radiates energy into the oral cavity, an electrical connection portion, and a wiring portion that connects at least one of the sensor unit and the energy irradiation unit to the electrical connection portion. The functional portion, the connection portion, and the wiring portion are formed by a wiring layer having first and second main surfaces that oppose each other, a first insulating layer arranged on the first main surface and a second insulating layer arranged on the second main surface. Moreover, in the functional portion, a thickness of the first insulating layer is smaller than a thickness of the second insulating layer.

Generally, methods, devices, and systems related to analyte monitoring and data logging are provided—e.g., as related to in vivo analyte monitoring devices and systems. In some aspects, methods, devices, and systems are provided that relate to enable related settings based on an expected use of an in vivo positioned sensor; logging or otherwise recording analyte levels acquired or derived—e.g., sample analyte levels more frequently than they are logged or otherwise recorded in memory; dynamically adjust the data logging frequency; randomly determine times of acquiring or storing analyte levels from the in-vivo positioned analyte sensors; and enable recording related settings when the system is operable.

An oral body device is provided for attaching to and detaching from an oral appliance that has an electrical connection portion. The device includes a body, and an attachment/detachment operation unit that has an electrical connection conductor and is configured to detachably attach the oral appliance to the body portion by operating application and release of force to the oral appliance. Moreover, the attachment/detachment operation unit fixedly attaches the oral appliance in a state in which the electrical connection portion is electrically connected to the electrical connection conductor by applying a force to the oral appliance, and releases the fixation by releasing the force applied to the oral appliance to detach the oral appliance.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for the management of multiple sensor control devices and/or multiple reader devices in an in vivo analyte monitoring environment, and also for resolving conflicts when merging data collected by different reader devices.

Techniques for wireless component monitoring are described herein. The techniques may include entering a low power mode to associate a radio frequency identification (RFID) component with a patient monitoring device within a first range. The techniques also include entering a high power mode wherein the patient monitoring device is to detect the RFID component within a second range of the patient monitoring device, wherein the second range is larger than the first range.

A surgical instrument includes a distal portion. A force sensor is operatively mounted on the distal portion. The force sensor includes a wireless package, which wirelessly provides (1) identification information of the surgical instrument and (2) strain data related to the distal portion. A surgical end effector includes a jaw and the distal portion is on a non-contact portion of the jaw. The wireless package includes a surface acoustic wave strain sensor with identification information. The wireless package also includes a small folded antenna electrically coupled to the surface acoustic wave strain sensor with identification information. The identification information includes an identification of a type of surgical instrument and unique identification of the specific surgical instrument in the type of surgical instrument.

A diaper with urine detection functionalities is provided. The diaper includes a urine isolation layer, an absorbent core layer, and an outer layer. A urine detection device is disposed between the urine isolation layer and the absorbent core layer. The isolation layer has an open end that is embedded in a sleeve of the absorbent core layer. The urine detection device comprises a detection circuit and a test paper composite. The test paper composite includes: a trace element test paper, an antibiotic test paper, and a urine routine test paper. Each test paper is made up of a plurality of test strips for detecting different elements. Each test strip produces results according to a different color indicator scheme.

A physiological sensor has light emitting sources, each activated by addressing at least one row and at least one column of an electrical grid. The light emitting sources are capable of transmitting light of multiple wavelengths and a detector is responsive to the transmitted light after attenuation by body tissue.

Described herein are an interactive apparatus and methods for sensing and measuring real-time characteristic patterns of a subject's use of a dry powder inhalation system. The inhaler device can be used in a wireless communication mode to communicate with a display to assess the subject's usage of the inhalation system concurrently as the inhalation is performed and thus the subject's inhalation can be evaluated as well as the performance of the inhalation system. The system can also detect the identity of the medicament, its dosage, lot, expiration, etc. and the characteristics profile of a dry powder formulation emitted from the inhalation system in use.
