Publication number: 20170344717Abstract: Disclosed herein are unique systems and methods for remotely located physician specialists to diagnose and treat patients in a non-acute care facility having symptoms typically indicating a need for transfer to an acute care facility. The disclosed principles minimize the transfer of patients from a non-acute care facility to an acute care facility when not needed. The disclosed principles provide for the use of telemedicine units by geographically remote physician specialists to diagnose and treat patients in a non-acute care facility. If the physician specialist determines via the telemedicine unit that transfer of the patient to higher level of facility is needed, then the patient is transferred. If the physician specialist determines that the patient's new, elevated condition may be treated in the current, lower level facility, the physician specialist can prescribe a treatment for the current facility's staff to implement, even under the supervision of the physician specialist if it is needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2017Publication date: November 30, 2017Applicant: Access Physicians: Global Telemedicine Solutions, PLLCInventors: Kevin Houlihan, Eduardo Vadia, Christopher Michael Gallagher, Erica St. Angel, Sean McDonald

Publication number: 20160256639Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring usage of a medicament dispenser—particularly an inhaled medicament dispenser. While operating in a low-power mode, a first sensor is monitored for a signal indicative of handling of the medicament dispenser by a user. In response to detecting such handling, the device exits the low-power mode and begins to monitor a second sensor for a signal indicative of dispensing of the medicament. The usage monitoring device can be embodied as an attachment configured to be selectively coupled to one of a variety of different inhalers including, for example, a Diskus-type inhaler and a Respimat-type inhaler.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2014Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: RECIPROCAL LABS CORPORATION (d/b/a Propeller Health)Inventors: John David Van Sickle, Greg Tracy, Mark Gehring, Eric Hoffman, Kevin Houlihan, Chris Hallberg
