  • Publication number: 20240090954
    Abstract: A system for performing image-guided surgery includes an instrument having a first portion configured to define a trajectory into the body of a patient, a marker device and a user-interface component. A sensing device receives electromagnetic signals that are reflected or emitted from the marker device, and a processing system, coupled to the sensing device, includes at least one processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations that include tracking the position and orientation of the instrument relative to the patient based on the signals received at the sensing device, receiving a signal from the user-interface component of the instrument indicating a user-input event, and saving the trajectory into the body of the patient defined by the first portion of the instrument in response to receiving the signal.

  • Patent number: 11361863
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods and apparatus for diabetes management using location-based reminders. Embodiments include requesting a user select a diabetes management related task to be reminded to perform; requesting the user select a location at which the user is to be reminded to perform the selected diabetes management related task; monitoring the user's location; detecting the user has entered the selected location; triggering the reminder in response to detecting the user has entered the selected location; and presenting the reminder to the user. Numerous other aspects are provided like helping a user locate a blood glucose meter (BGM) by identifying a most recent data transfer from the BGM based on a stored date and time associated with the most recent data transfer from the BGM, and identifying patterns of diabetes management events corresponding to particular location types.
