  • Patent number: 10195483
    Abstract: An exercise system comprising: an exercise cycle comprising a crank, wherein the crank is configured to be rotated by a user; and a sensing unit coupled to the exercise cycle, wherein the sensing unit is configured to sense information related to at least one crank measurement and to transmit the information related to the at least one crank measurement to a remote device via wireless communication. In some embodiments, the remote device is a mobile device. In some embodiments, the at least one crank measurement comprises a rotational speed of the crank or a force applied to the crank. The remote device can display information related to use of the exercise cycle based on the information received from the exercise cycle.

  • Publication number: 20090228299
    Abstract: A system for context-sensitive medical communication is described. Patient presentation data is obtained, the patient presentation data is mapped to biological system data, wherein the biological system data are obtained by a population-based comparison, and a relevance-driven summary is generated. Following the primary read, the study can be compressed and transmitted remotely, such as in teleconsultation described below. The imaging study can be provided by patient presentation mapping to medical nomenclature, and mapping the patient study to an appropriate normalized atlas which has been created by averaging and morphing as well as quantification and providing labels which have come from data mining of reports.
