  • Publication number: 20230302224
    Abstract: A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container includes a housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient, a medication port extending from the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically coupled to the fluid conduit, and at least one sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system. The housing can have a size and shape that enables it to be supported by a first hand of a user while the user administers the medication from the medication container via the medication port using a second hand of the user. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220409814
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling fluid delivery via a manually administrable medication container to a patient through a fluid delivery pathway are provided. The systems and methods described herein incorporate rules-based clinical decision support logic to drive a flow control valve within a flow pathway based on a determination of whether or not an IV fluid connected to an input port on the pathway is appropriate for patient administration by considering such factors as patient-specific clinical circumstances, current medical orders, and accepted delivery protocols. Related apparatus, systems, methods and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20190064545
    Abstract: A vision correction system includes a display device in wireless communication with a vision correction device VCD. The VCD includes an electrically activated optical device (EAOD) for human vision correction. The display device includes a sensor and a display surface. The display device and the VCD are configured to (1) store calibration information correlating a focal length of the EOAD to a distance (D) between a user's face and the display surface, (2) receive distance information from the sensor indicative of the distance D, (3) wirelessly transmit adjustment information from the display device to the VCD that is at least partly based upon the distance information, (4) convert the wirelessly transmitted adjustment information into control signals, and (5) apply control signals to the EOAD which in turn adjusts the focal length to focus the user's eye upon the display surface.
