A method and system for diagnosing, treating, and ameliorating sleep bruxism events using a positive airway pressure (PAP) system for treating obstructive sleep apnea to concurrently recognize bruxism events. At least one sensor is integrated into a therapy interface and/or headgear to detect physiological signals indicative of bruxism. In some exemplary embodiments, a loudspeaker and microphone are integrated into the interface, either near the nose or near the mouth of the patient. When integrated near the nose, the pair is used for acoustical rhinometry, and when integrated near the mouth, the pair is used for acoustical pharyngometry. In other exemplary embodiments, sound or vibration sensors are used to detect signals indicative of teeth grinding. In response to sensor detection of bruxism activity, the PAP system controller adjusts the PAP therapy settings or proposes alternative treatment modalities in order to stop or prevent bruxism events.

Method and system for providing basal profile modification in insulin therapy for use with infusion devices includes periodically monitoring the analyte levels of a patient for a predetermined period of time in order to determine, based on the monitored analyte levels, an appropriate modification factor to be incorporated into the underlying basal profile which was running at the time the periodic monitoring of the analyte levels were performed.

A negative pressure wound therapy system can include a wound dressing configured to be placed over a wound and configured to absorb fluid. The system can include a source of negative pressure configured to generate negative pressure to aspirate fluid from the wound. The system can include a memory. The system can include a controller configured to periodically store a plurality of data sets in the memory, in response to storing a data set of the plurality of data sets at a memory address in the memory, update the memory address for storing a subsequent data set, and in response to determining that the memory address corresponds to a memory address indicative of a duration of time following an initial activation of the system reaching a total permitted operational time of the system, provide an indication that the total permitted operational time of the system has been reached.

A system includes a memory storing a user profile for a user of the system and machine-readable instructions and a control system including one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to receive physiological data associated with the user during a sleep session, determine, based at least in part on the received physiological data, a set of sleep-related parameters for the sleep session, subsequent to the sleep session, select one of the set of sleep-related parameters as a targeted parameter, the selection of the targeted parameter being based at least in part on the stored user profile, the set of sleep-related parameters, or both, and cause information to be communicated to the user via a user device, the information being indicative of the targeted parameter, a recommendation associated with improving the targeted parameter for the user in one or more subsequent sleep sessions, or both.

A system and method for providing sensory relief from distractibility, inattention, anxiety, fatigue, and/or sensory issues to a user in need. The user can be autistic/neurodiverse, or neurotypical. The system can be configured to connect to a datastore storing one or more sensory thresholds specific to a user of a wearable device of the system, the sensory thresholds selected from auditory, visual or physiological sensory thresholds; record, using one or more sensors of the wearable device, a sensory input stimulus to the user; compare the sensory input stimulus with the sensory thresholds to determine an intervention to be provided to the user, the intervention configured to provide the user relief from distractibility, inattention, anxiety, fatigue, or sensory issues; and provide the intervention to the user, the intervention comprising filtering, in real-time, an audio signal presented to the user or an optical signal presented to the user.

Methods, systems and devices for reducing anxiety, including increasing relaxation and/or calm. In some variations these methods may include reducing anxiety, increase relaxation and/or calm by non-invasive temperature regulation of the frontal cortex prior to and/or during sleep. The subject may have an anxiety disorder, or may not have a diagnosed anxiety disorder.

An apparatus including a controller can determine a rate of change of a blood glucose level of a subject from blood glucose data and determine if there is a risk of the blood glucose level going high or low.

The present invention provides a breathing assistance apparatus that has a convenient and effective method of cleaning internal conduits inside the apparatus. The breathing assistance apparatus is preferably a gases supply and humidification device. The cleaning method is a method of disinfection that is automated so minimal training is required to disinfect in particular an internal elbow conduit within the device. It is therefore not necessary to dismantle the gases supply and humidification device, therefore, inadvertent damage to the internal parts of the device is avoided. The present invention also provides a method of disinfecting a heated breathing conduit and a patient interface.

A vaporization device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first body defining a first interior volume, a first half of a split-pod, a second half of a split-pod, an opening, a first heating apparatus, and a second heating apparatus. The first half of the split-pod is configured to hold a nicotine-containing liquid. The second half of the split-pod is configured to hold a non-nicotine-containing liquid. The opening separates the first half from the second half of the split-pod. The first heating apparatus is dedicated to the first half. The second heating apparatus is dedicated to the second half. The second portion includes a second body defining a second interior volume and a computing system. The computing system is disposed within the second interior volume. The computing system is configured to vary an amount of current supplied to the first and second heating apparatuses.

Algorithms for detecting endotracheal intubation and/or misplacement of endotracheal tubes in child patients during anesthesia for use with anesthesia machines, mechanical ventilators, and/or respiratory function monitors. An algorithm uses end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO.sub.2), and tidal volume (TV) or peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) to detect exact intubation time. Another algorithm uses respiratory parameters to identify and/or confirm the type of airway device used during mechanical ventilation, and to detect if and when an issue has arisen with use of a specific airway device to provide real-time decision support to attending medical care professionals.
