Publication number: 20170319840Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and apparatus. A system includes an extracellular-fluid collection device configured to be positioned at a location on a skin of a mammal. In an embodiment, the mammal includes a live human. The system includes an ultrasonic wave transmitter configured to emit ultrasonic shear waves directable at the location. The ultrasonic shear waves have a frequency or amplitude selected to increase a permeability of the skin of the mammal to an extracellular-fluid. In an embodiment, the system includes a sensor configured to determine a rate or amount of extracellular-fluid collected by the extracellular-fluid collection device. In an embodiment, the system includes a fluid collection controller configured to regulate a parameter of ultrasonic shear waves transmitted by the ultrasonic wave transmitter in response to a determined rate or amount of fluid collected by the extracellular-fluid collection device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2016Publication date: November 9, 2017Inventors: JESSE R.

Publication number: 20100169108Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates aggregating data with a distributed network for health-related diagnosis. A device can include a sensor for dynamic collection of data, wherein the portion of data is wirelessly communicated from the device to a distributed network. An evaluator can generate a health informative update based at least in part upon an analysis of the dynamically collected data received via the distributed network, wherein the evaluator analyzes a medical condition with a condition-indicative level of the portion of data collected via the sensor. The health informative update can be at least one of a personal update providing information pertaining to an individual-based medical condition or a geographic-based population update providing information related to a medical condition that affects a pre-defined number of individuals within the geographic-based population.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Chris Demetrios Karkanias, Neil A.
