Patent number: 11565110Abstract: A swallowing medical device includes: an attachment unit configured to be attached to a target portion of a human body for a medical operation; a control unit configured to control the medical operation; and a storage configured to store use information regarding a use state over time of the attachment unit. The control unit executes a control for restricting use of the attachment unit on the basis of a fact that the use information does not satisfy a set condition for ensuring a characteristic of the attachment unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignees: J CRAFT CO., LTD., EUSENSE MEDICAL CO., LTD., I MEDEX CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Ueno, Yoshitaka Oku

Patent number: 11246526Abstract: A swallowing diagnosis apparatus includes a controller which enables a first swallowing determination process of determining whether or not there is an aspiration risk in the swallowing on the basis of respiratory phases before and after a period in which swallowing has been estimated as having occurred; and a second swallowing determination process of extracting reference information including at least one of the sound information and the respiration information in a predetermined period including the period in which swallowing has been estimated as having occurred, obtaining a feature quantity from the extracted reference information, and performing a machine learning process on the obtained feature quantity to determine whether or not there is a possibility of dysphagia in the swallowing; and a display control process of causing a determination result obtained by the first swallowing determination process and a determination result obtained by the second swallowing determination process to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignees: UNIVERSITY PUBLIC CORPORATION OSAKA, EuSense Medical Co., Ltd., HYOGO COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, J Craft Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michifumi Yoshioka, Katsufumi Inoue, Yoshitaka Oku

Publication number: 20190125243Abstract: This swallowing training apparatus includes: a respiration detection part configured to detect a respiratory motion of a subject; and a controller. The controller is configured to: provide a trigger for swallowing induction to the subject on the basis of a detection result from the respiration detection part; detect that swallowing was performed by the subject; determine whether or not the detected swallowing was at an appropriate timing with respect to the respiratory motion; and output, to outside, information indicating a result of the determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Applicants: HYOGO COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, J craft Co., Ltd., EuSense Medical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshitaka Oku, Hiroshi Ueno

Patent number: 9649062Abstract: A swallowing estimation device includes: a sound detection part configured to detect sound of a larynx portion; a respiration detection part configured to detect respiration; and a swallowing estimation part configured to estimate swallowing based on sound information outputted from the sound detection part and based on respiration information outputted from the respiration detection part. The swallowing estimation part obtains a value of a parameter for swallowing estimation with respect to a biological sound generation interval that corresponds to a respiratory cessation interval longer than or equal to 400 msec, and estimates whether swallowing has occurred in the biological sound generation interval based on whether the obtained value of the parameter satisfies a swallowing determination condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignees: HYOGO COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, EUSENSE MEDICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshitaka Oku, Yoshihiko Oke
