  • Publication number: 20220280112
    Abstract: Method and system for determining the localization of wearable sensors on the body of a user among a number of predefined attachment sites, comprising collecting kinematic data from at least two Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) embedded in wearable devices attached to a user, transferring all the signals collected to a separate processing unit, comprising a memory and a comparator engine, and comparing signal characteristics to determine the sites of attachment to the user. Said system and method are useful for the monitoring of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

  • Publication number: 20220022750
    Abstract: A system utilizing five or less body worn sensors may be used to profile the motor function of Parkinson's disease patients, integrate the outcome with patient self-reported information and translate the results to clinically relevant information, valuable for the monitoring of Parkinson's disease progression and symptom manifestation. The hardware of the system may deploy algorithms for the offline processing of the sensors' data, once the wearable monitoring devices are docked for charging, with no intervention required by the user. The system may also allow patients to mount the wearable devices featuring the sensors to any of a limited number of body parts, without taking care to mount each monitoring device to a specific body part. Finally, the system may allow a physician to register for a subscription-based service, pairing him/her with patients using the system, and granting him/her permission to remotely review the disease progression of the patients, as calculated by the system.

  • Publication number: 20090131838
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system to therapeutically treat bone fractures, nonunions, deformities and also to monitor their healing process using ultrasound waves. The invention concerns one or more ultrasound transducers that are implanted in contact with the bone adjacent to the affected region, as well as an electronic unit that is either surgically implanted or located extracorporeally and operating altogether as a system, it enhances the healing process of bones and monitors the course of healing.
