Abstract: The present invention provides an energy based dissection device that automatically provides a nerve protection function. Specifically, the present invention operatively connects nerve monitoring technology and energy based dissection technology to provide a device that provides energy based dissection functionality that cannot operate, or operates differently, upon receipt of real time information from the nerve monitoring functionality that nerve damage may be imminent in the absence of such safety shutdown. The present invention also creates a real-time graphical display of the nerve, including size and location relative to the energy based dissection device to enable the operator to safely and accurately avoid damaging the nerve. Accordingly, the present invention provides a surgical device that removes human error and reaction time issues which prevent unintended dissection and concomitant nerve damage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system allowing an individual to actively manage, oversee, direct, and interact with their healthcare. Specifically, the present invention provides a system that allows for the continuous input of updated information from the team of healthcare providers and the patient with full access to the patient history all with real time continuous analysis to provide feedback of likely critical data to consider in the decision of next best steps to provide the only participant whose only motive is to get better as expeditiously as possible with the knowledge necessary to actively manage, oversee and direct their own healthcare. In particular, the present invention provides a system whereby the individual's personal health records are selectively inputted and shared with others and compared with databases of stored information, and the information returned is used by the individual, or others to provide efficient healthcare and manage public health emergencies.
