  • Patent number: 10475141
    Abstract: A system is provided for event-based monitoring of a subject's well-being within an unattended setting. A plurality of sensors are disposed within the setting for sensing disparate events, and an analytics processing portion is coupled to the sensors to collectively acquire sensing data therefrom, and map a plurality of sensed data points for a selected combination of disparate events to a conduct adaptively characterized for the subject. The mapping occurs according to a set of pre-established reference event patterns, relative to which each characterized conduct is screened for excessive aberration. The analytics processing portion actuates generation of a graphic user interface displaying at least one reporting page. The reporting page contains for each characterized conduct certain graphic indicia determined responsive to the screening thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030125649
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing therapy for acute or chronic wounds and other clinical conditions, and/or for altering flow of bodily fluids, that uses pressure and temperature to promote healing or comfort. The pressure can be negative, positive, or cyclic to promote bodily fluid flow, particularly in cases of venous insufficiency. The pressure is supplied by a chamber that encases the desired site and seals to the skin of the patient, and a pump that controls the pressure within the chamber. The temperature is supplied by a heat exchange surface in proximity to the skin within the area surrounded by the pressure chamber, and can be any temperature within the range of physiological tolerance; including temperatures both above and below normal physiological temperatures. The temperature of the heat exchange surface is controlled by an apparatus outside the chamber, and may be continuous or cyclic. The heat exchange surface may have a disposable covering that serves as a wound dressing.
