Abstract: Uterine toner device (UTD) for reducing postpartum hemorrhage includes: a fundal portion including a first end and a second end of the fundal portion, the fundal portion including a conical shaped tip at the first end of the fundal portion; a cervical portion including a first end and a second end of the cervical portion, the first end of the cervical portion coupled to the second end of the fundal portion, where the fundal portion and the cervical portion each include a cylindrical and tubular shaped body, where the body of the cervical portion includes a first plurality of fenestrations; and at least one balloon coupled to a surface of the cervical portion, where when the balloon is inflated, the balloon seals the cervical portion without sealing the first plurality of fenestrations.

Abstract: Uterine toner device (UTD) for reducing postpartum hemorrhage includes fundal, cervical, vaginal, and nipple portions with cylindrical and tubular shaped bodies. The fundal and cervical portions include fenestrations. The diameters for fenestrations in the fundal portion are larger than those in the cervical portion. An indication resides between the fundal and cervical portions for proper placement. When the nipple portion couples to a pressure pump's suction tube and negative pressure is applied, cervical tissue is drawn into the fenestrations in the cervical portion resulting in contraction and retraction of the uterus, stopping any bleeding. The pressure pump is automatically shut-off after a pre-set period of time to avoid prolonged ischemia. A balloon at the cervical portion assists in the release of the cervical tissue when inflated. During a C-section, an introducer may be used in combination with the UTD to assist in introducing the suction tube through a tight cervix.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a plurality of parameters of a user that includes receiving the plurality of parameters of the user from a vital signs recording device, identifying at least one abnormal value based on at least one parameter of the plurality of parameters, the at least one parameter being at least one of below a normal range and above a normal range, sending at least one alarm based on the at least one abnormal value to a remote facility, and displaying the at least one alarm continuously on a display device in the remote facility on a condition that the at least one parameter is at least one of below the normal range and above the normal range.

Abstract: A monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of parameters of a patient that includes a first sensor placed on the chest wall of a patient, a cord connecting the first sensor to a second sensor placed on a major artery of the upper arm of the patient, and an inflatable cuff placed around the upper arm of the patient. The device includes a screen that displays one of the plurality of parameters and the date and time the parameter was measured. The device can include an automatic messaging system and an automatic alert system, functioning as a standalone unit. When connected to a computer or mobile device, medical personnel can access an obstetric electronic health system to obtain medical guidelines based on alerts from the device. Personnel with the device at a remote center can communicate with a designated center with emergency obstetric care through this electronic health system.

Abstract: A system and method to identify abnormal menstrual cycles and alert the user comprising an electronic device running a software application. The software application includes a method that processes and analyzes data and determines when the user exhibits signs and symptoms that require medical attention. The method receives, compiles, and analyzes information regarding at least one of the user's general symptoms, number of days bleeding, mood changes, heavy menstrual flow, inter-menstrual bleeding, and bleeding after sex. The method determines and alerts the user when the information, signs and/or symptoms the user is experiencing indicate that the user's menstrual cycle may be critically abnormal or that the user may have a heavy abnormal period and alerts the user regarding the severity, prompting the user to call her doctor as soon as possible.
