A computer-implemented method for facilitating cardiac rehabilitation among eligible users is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (1) receiving health information associated with one or more users; (2) for each user of the one or more users: determining, based on health information associated with the user, a respective eligibility of the user for cardiac rehabilitation; (3) determining, based on the respective eligibilities, that at least one user of the one or more users is eligible for cardiac rehabilitation; (4) generating a treatment plan for the at least one user, where the treatment plan pertains to a cardiac rehabilitation that is specific to the at least one user; and (5) assigning the treatment plan to at least one electromechanical machine to enable the user to perform the cardiac rehabilitation.

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes determining whether one or more messages have been received from at least one of an electromechanical machine, a sensor, and an interface. Then the one or more messages may pertain to at least one of a user and a usage of the electromechanical machine by the user. The electromechanical machine may be configured to be manipulated by the user while the user is performing a treatment plan. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the one or more messages have not been received, determining, using one or more machine learning models, one or more preventative actions to perform. The method also includes causing the one or more preventative actions to be performed.

A soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation is fabricated in two different beam-like structures (I and O cross-section actuators) and mechanically characterized for their torque performance in knee-extension assistance. The fabrication procedure of both types of actuators is presented as well as their integration into a light-weight, low-cost and body-conforming interface. To detect the activation duration of the device during the gait cycle, a soft-silicone insole with embedded force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) is used. In evaluation studies, the soft inflatable exosuit device is tested for its ability to reduce muscle activity during the swing phase of the knee. Using sEMG (surface electromyography) sensors, the rectus femoris muscle group of a healthy individual is recorded while walking on a treadmill at a constant speed, with and without the soft device.

Method of treating an individual following a period of ischemia are provided. The methods include administering inhaled agents postconditioning to the individual and optionally simultaneously performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The inhaled agents include at least one noble gas.

Described herein are methods for determining a target musculoskeletal activity cycle (MSKC) to cardiac cycle (CC) timing relationship. The method may include detecting a signal responsive to a cyclically-varying arterial blood flow at a location on a head of a user; providing a recurrent prompt at a frequency of the heart pump cycle using the signal, such that the signal correlates with a magnitude of blood flow adjacent to the location, and the recurrent prompt is provided to guide the user to time performance of a component of a rhythmic musculoskeletal activity with the recurrent prompt; and guiding the user to adjust a timing of the component of the rhythmic musculoskeletal activity to substantially maximize a magnitude of the signal. In some embodiments, the method further includes generating the recurrent prompt by amplifying the sound generated by the blood flow in or in proximity to an ear of the user.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable heat sources to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR sources in a sauna.

A device for first responders and medical professionals to assist during the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient in need thereof. The device may also be used to train individuals on how to properly perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation by providing initial instructions about the process as well as real-time monitoring of the student's technique and providing real-time instructive feedback to the student so that the student may improve their skills. The invention also includes a method of using the device to coach first responders and medical professionals as they perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient in need thereof as well as a method of using the device to teach students about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Systems and methods for applying enhanced guided active compression decompression cardiopulmonary resuscitation are provided. Exemplary systems include a load cell, a handle, an adhesive pad. The handle and the adhesive pad are configured for magnetic coupling.

A medical device for measuring an impedance of a patient or mammal when a current is applied by electrodes. The medical device includes an output transmits a drive signal to a set of drive electrodes coupled to a patient and an input receives a sense signal generated by a set of sensing electrodes coupled to the patient. A processor determines the impedance of the patient based on the drive signal transmitted to the set of drive electrodes and the sense signal received by the set of sensing electrodes.

A computer-implemented method for (1) receiving one or more characteristics of a user, wherein the one or more characteristics comprise personal information, performance information, measurement information, or some combination thereof, (2) generating, using one or more trained machine learning models, a treatment plan for the user, wherein the treatment plan is generated based on the one or more characteristics of the user, and the treatment plan comprises: (i) a dietary plan that is tailored to manage one or more medical conditions associated with the user, and (ii) an exercise plan comprises one or more exercises associated with the one or more medical conditions, and (3) presenting, via a display device, at least a portion of the treatment plan comprising the dietary plan.
