  • Patent number: 11903731
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring patient data includes a frame having a plurality of electrode hubs. Each hub can include one or more electrode members. The frame can be configured to receive a head of a patient. Each of the electrode hubs can have a single electrode member or a plurality of electrode members that extend from or are connected to an outer member for contacting a scalp of the head of the patient. The outer member can have at least one circuit configured to transmit data received by at least one of the electrode members to a measurement device via a wireless communication connection (e.g. Bluetooth, near field communication, etc.) or a wired communication connection.

  • Patent number: 11324429
    Abstract: A sensor array can be integrally defined in a fabric headgear. A gel distribution module can be connected to each sensor of the sensor array. Each module can include an outer part that is connectable to a second inner part so that the fabric of the headgear and sensor are between the inner and outer parts. Each module can be configured to facilitate the distribution of a gel onto a scalp of a patient and into contact with the sensor via actuation of an actuator of the module to permit rapid deployment of the gel at the sensor specific locations on the head of a patient. The gel can be distributed directly onto skin of the scalp even when the patient has hair at the sensor location. The sensor array can be positioned so that asymmetrical positioning of the sensors on a patient's head is detectable.

  • Patent number: 11266476
    Abstract: Apparatuses for storage and distribution of headgear having sensors and a gel distribution apparatus can be configured to permit storage of the headgear while also protecting the gel distribution modules of the headgear from being inadvertently actuated for deployment of gel to avoid unintended gel leaks or gel applications. In some embodiments, the storage apparatus can be sized and configured to fit within a vending machine for providing remote distribution of the headgear while also protecting the headgear from damage during falls that can occur when the vending machine is activated to distribute a headgear to a customer. Methods of distributing the headgear can utilize an embodiment of the storage device and/or use of at least one vending machine or a network of vending machines.

  • Patent number: 11241182
    Abstract: A gel distribution apparatus can include modules so that each module is connected to a respective sensor of a sensor array included in headgear. Each module can be configured to facilitate the distribution of a gel onto a scalp of a patient to permit deployment of the gel at locations on the head of a patient near the sensor to which the module is adjacently positioned or attached. The modules can each include at least one flange to permit a user to pull the module away from the scalp while also pressing a compressible gel reservoir of the module toward the scalp for directing the gel onto the scalp. The pulling force can help counteract internal pressure generated from compression of the reservoir to expel the gel so that the gel flows along a desired gel flow path without excessive back pressure.

  • Patent number: 10842406
    Abstract: Provided herein is a device, a system, and a method of using the device and system to deliver non-contact thermal stimulation to the skin of a person and, by detecting evoked potentials in that person's central nervous system, to determine a neurological condition of the person.

  • Patent number: 10456059
    Abstract: A neurological condition detection unit can include a computer device that is connected to at least two leads that are connectable to a patient for evoking a response from that patient via an electrical current passed through the leads (e.g. a shock) and at plurality of sensors connected to the computer device to sense how the left side and right side of the patient's brain reacts to the evoked event (e.g. the shock). The stroke detection device and/or neurological condition detection unit can be configured to output a warning when one side of the patient's brain is determined to react differently than the opposite side of the patient's brain by at least a pre-selected threshold value. The warning can include an identification of a nearby care facility that may be best suited for providing care to a patient determined to have a neurological condition (e.g. a stroke).
