Publication number: 20140180202Abstract: An ingestible therapy activator system and method are provided. In one aspect, the ingestible therapy activator includes an ingestible device having an effector module to send an effector instruction and a responder module associated with a therapeutic device. The responder module may receive and process the effector instruction, resulting in a response by the therapeutic device. Examples of responses by therapeutic device include activating a therapy, deactivating a therapy, modulating a therapy, and discontinuing a therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: Proteus Digital Health, Inc.Inventors: MARK ZDEBLICK, MARC JENSEN, OLIVIER COLLIOU, ANGELA STRAND

Publication number: 20130172690Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed as part of a system for tracking and confirming delivery of a medicinal dose to a user. The apparatus includes a detector. The detector is secured to and communicatively coupled to the user and is capable of detecting a current flow through the user's body. The current flow is produced when the user makes contact with the apparatus. The apparatus includes at least two contact areas connected to a power source where a circuit and, hence, a current path is completed through the user's body as the user makes contact with the apparatus. The current flow is detected by the detector, which is coupled to the user. Also disclosed is an apparatus for tracking and confirming delivery of a medicinal dose to a user where the apparatus includes an acoustic detector. Upon loading the dose into a chamber an acoustic vibration is generated. The vibration is detected and correlated with a current flow that is produced when the user makes contact with the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: PROTEUS DIGITAL HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Lawrence Arne, Benedict Costello, Yuriy Mestman, Timothy Robertson, George Savage, Angela Strand, Todd Thompson, Mark Zdeblick, William McAllister

Publication number: 20130096501Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting, by a sensing and data acquisition circuit module, at least one parameter associated with an access port. The method includes wiping at least a portion of an access port, allowing the access port to dry for a predetermined amount of time, accessing the access port with an access device, such as a syringe, and detecting at least one parameter associated with the access port by the sensor and acquisition module. An access port is disclosed that includes a sensor and a data acquisition module for sensing, recording, and providing an alert associated with the detection of the at least one parameter associated with the access port.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: PROTEUS DIGITAL HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Lawrence Arne, Todd Thompson, Mark Zdeblick, Angela Strand, George Savage, Yuriy Mestman, William H.

Publication number: 20120035684Abstract: Implantable stimulation devices are provided. Aspects of the devices include a multiplexed multi-electrode component configured for neural stimulation. The multiplexed multi-electrode component includes two or more individually addressable satellite electrode structures electrically coupled to a common conductor. The satellite structures include a hermetically sealed integrated control circuit operatively coupled to one or more electrodes. Also provided are methods of manufacturing wherein the application of laser welding is avoided in forming the satellite electrode structures and an integrated control circuit thereof is thereby shielded from mechanical stress during satellite manufacture. Additionally provided are systems that include the devices of the invention, as well as methods of using the systems and devices in a variety of different applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2010Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventors: Todd Thompson, Mark Zdeblick, Angela Strand, Marc Jensen
