Abstract: Recommendations based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are described. Given the number of people that wear CGM systems and because CGM systems produce measurements continuously, a platform that provides a CGM system may have an enormous amount of data. This amount of data is practically, if not actually, impossible for humans to process. In implementations, a CGM platform includes a data analytics platform that obtains glucose measurements provided by a CGM system and also obtains additional data associated with a user. The data analytics platform processes these measurements and the additional data to predict a health indicator by using models. This prediction serves as a basis for generating a recommendation, such as a message recommending the user take action or adopt a behavior to mitigate a predicted negative health condition.

Abstract: Introduced here is a digital pill comprised of a capsule, an ingestible sensor, and a slot antenna. The ingestible sensor can be configured to generate a signal indicative of a characteristic of the living body in which the digital pill is located. Biometric data can be stored, at least temporarily, in a memory in the form of signal values. For example, the slot antenna may transmit biometric data to a computing device across a network on a periodic basis (e.g., every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.). Alternatively, the slot antenna may stream biometric data to a computing device across the network in real time.

Abstract: A pressure compensating non-invasive blood-component measuring device has electrically insulated parallel electrodes mounted on a dielectric membrane (106). A main circuit board (201) provides electrical connections to the electrodes and has an orifice (402) to allow flexing. A housing supports the main circuit board, with a second orifice to facilitate the application of a finger onto the insulated electrodes. A bottom circuit board (401) supports a force sensor (408) and fixing elements (313, 314) secure the bottom circuit board to the top circuit board, such that the bottom circuit board does not contact the housing directly. An intermediate board (316) is guided but not restrained by the fixing elements, and is arranged to apply force onto said force sensor.

Abstract: A sensor inserter for a physiological characteristic sensor includes a housing that defines a track system that extends from a bottom of the housing toward a top of the housing. The sensor inserter includes a striker assembly movable relative to the housing between a first state, a second, cocked state and a third, disposal state. The striker assembly is movable from the second, cocked state to the third, disposal state to couple the physiological characteristic sensor to an anatomy. The striker assembly includes a lock beam that engages with the track system as the striker assembly moves between the first state, the second, cocked state and the third, disposal state. In the third, disposal state the lock beam inhibits movement of the striker assembly from the third, disposal state to the first state.

Abstract: A method for generating a filtered EMG signal includes obtaining a combined signal, wherein the combined signal comprises an ECG signal and an EMG signal. A first high pass filter is applied to the combined signal and an ECG model signal is generated, based on the high pass filtered combined signal. The method further includes, generating a partially filtered EMG signal by subtracting the ECG model from the high pass filtered combined signal. A second high pass filter is then applied to the partially filtered EMG signal to generate a second EMG signal and to the ECG model signal to generate a second ECG model signal. A filtered EMG signal is generated based on the second EMG signal and the second ECG model by way of a gating technique.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for updating alarm limits applied in monitoring one or more medical parameters of a subject. The devices, systems, and methods obtain a measurement of ambient pressure at a defined time point (‘t1’) and compare the measurement of ambient pressure at the defined time point (‘t1’) to a reference ambient pressure. If a difference between the measured ambient pressure values at t1 and the reference ambient pressure is at or above a predetermined threshold, the alarm limits are updated to correspond with the ambient pressure at t1 or a user is alerted to update the alarm limits.
