Publication number: 20240404704Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein may provide digital medicine support for predicting and mitigating side effects of bispecific antibody treatment (e.g., Pfizer's Elranatamab) for myeloma patients. The side effects may include cytokine release syndrome (CRS), infection (e.g., sepsis), neurotoxicity (e.g., peripheral neuropathy), cytopenia (e.g., neutropenia), etc. These side effects may be predicted based on passive collection of data from patient wearables, patient entered data on healthcare application, and other data such as bloodwork data. Trained machine learning models may be used for predicting the side effects. As the side effects may be predicted before their onsets, a proactive intervention may be feasible to improve the healthcare outcomes for myeloma patients.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Anthony LAMBROU, Ofer WAKS, Caroline J. HOANG, Ahsan HUDA, Priti RAMACHANDRAN, Timothy DOUGHERTY, Dennis HANCOCK, Joshua RAYSMAN, Solomon RAVICH, Adam FITZGERALD

Publication number: 20240387058Abstract: A digital medicine companion for managing skin diseases (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis) may include patient wearable devices passively collecting patient data, patient user devices with healthcare applications for the patient to enter health related data, central analytics for flare prediction and disease progress tracking, and a clinician dashboard. For flare prediction, a prediction tool may be trained using the ground truth of recorded flare occurrences for the trained model to predict whether observed scratch events may result in a flare. Upon predicting a likely flare, alert notifications may be generated, e.g., for a clinician and/or the patient. Furthermore, a baseline may be established based on the data passively gathered from the wearables and actively gathered from the patient user devices. The continuously collected data may be compared against the established baseline. Upon detecting a significant deviation, alerts may be sent to the patient and/or the clinician.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: November 21, 2024Inventors: Dennis P. HANCOCK, Joshua RAYSMAN, Felicia ZFIRA, Anthony LAMBROU, Robert Michael DAY, Urs KERKMANN, Adam FITZGERALD, Timothy MCCARTHY, Carrie Annalice NORTHCOTT, Yiorgos CHRISTAKIS, Fahimeh MAMASHLI, Junrui DI

Publication number: 20240238091Abstract: A prolapse prevention device formed by a continuous wire-like structure having a first end and a second end disconnected from each other. The continuous wire-like structure is substantially straight in a delivery configuration. The prolapse prevention device in a deployed configuration includes a centering ring of the continuous wire-like structure configured to seat adjacent to and upstream of an annulus of a heart valve in situ, a vertical support of the continuous wire-like structure which extends from the centering ring and includes an apex configured to seat against a roof of an atrium in situ, and a leaflet backstop of the continuous wire-like structure extending radially inward from the centering ring and configured to contact at least at least a first leaflet of the heart valve in situ to exert a pressure in a downstream direction on the first leaflet to prevent the first leaflet from prolapsing into the atrium.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Inventors: Niall DUFFY, David FARASCIONI, Adam FITZGERALD, Nathan KNUTSON, Ana MENK, Aran MURRAY, Jay RASSAT

Publication number: 20230096007Abstract: An introducer assembly includes a plurality of selectable side holes through which a fluid can be delivered. In some examples, an introducer assembly includes an outer elongated body defining a plurality of outer body side holes and an inner elongated body defining a plurality of inner body side holes. The inner elongated body is configured to rotate relative to the outer elongated body between a first rotational orientation in which a first subset of outer body side holes aligns with a first subset of inner body side holes and the inner elongated body blocks fluid flow out of the outer elongated body through a second subset of outer body side holes, and a second rotational orientation in which the second subset of outer body side holes aligns with a second subset of inner body side holes and inner elongated body blocks fluid the first subset of outer body side holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventor: Adam Fitzgerald
