Patent number: 11955030Abstract: A wound treatment simulation device and method of operating thereof are disclosed. The device includes a housing, a simulated wound structure, a pump, a power supply, a sensor, a feedback device, and a microprocessor. The housing is configured to be secured to the live subject and to cover at least a portion of a body of the subject. The wound structure is configured to simulate a structure associated with the type of simulated wound treatment. The at least one feedback device is configured to provide a feedback signal to the live subject. The microprocessor is connected to the sensor and the feedback device. The microprocessor is programmed to operate the feedback device to provide haptic feedback based upon input (e.g. force or pressure) generated from interaction between a treatment provider and the simulated wound structure. The disclosed device may be used to simulate a variety of wound care and treatments.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Avkin, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Taylor, Amy Cowperthwait, Amy Bucha, Olivia Smith

Publication number: 20230154354Abstract: A wearable birthing simulator and method of operating thereof are disclosed. The simulator includes a housing that is securable to a subject and the housing defines an opening. Positioned within the housing is a uterus simulator and a removable fetal model contained therein. Coupled to the uterus simulator is a birth canal simulator. A birthing device comprises an actuator assembly in communication with the controller for automatically moving the fetal model towards the birth canal simulator. One or more sensors are mounted to the housing and are electrically connected to the controller for detecting movement of the fetal model by the birthing device. The feedback device is configured to provide the haptic feedback to the subject in response the movement of the fetal model toward the birth canal simulator. The disclosed simulator may be used to simulate a variety of childbirth scenarios.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Avkin, Inc.Inventors: Amy Bucha Erol, Jessica Monteleone, Amy Cowperthwait, Andrew Taylor, Olivia Smith, Christopher Wells

Patent number: 9934674Abstract: A method and system are provided. The method includes generating a set of workplace predictors of risk relating to accidents, injury, and industrial hygiene, based on employee states that include a physical state and an emotional state. The method further includes collecting data for an elevated risk of a workplace accident at a work location responsive to the set of workplace predictors. The data includes employee data for employees involved in the elevated risk and workplace machinery data for workplace machinery involved in the elevated risk. The method also includes automatically dispatching the data to first responders using one or more hardware-based information dispatching devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James R. Kozloski, Timothy Lynar, Olivia Smith, John Wagner

Publication number: 20160350499Abstract: A method for optimizing allocation of surgical resources includes receiving a set of input parameters including a schedule of operating room availability, a list of surgery departments, and a list of patients waiting for surgery. Historical operating room usage data and historical patient waiting list data are received. An operating room usage model is based on the received historical operating room usage data and the historical patient waiting list data. A future operating room availability is scheduled. A set of operating room resources required for each of the patients waiting for surgery is scheduled. A schedule for future operating room usage is generated to accommodate the list of surgery department, the list of patients, and the scheduled future operating room availability by optimizing an assignment of each of the patients and respective scheduled set of operating room resources required.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: HAMIDEH ANJOMSHOA, Irina Dumitrescu, Irvin Lustig, Olivia Smith
