Publication number: 20240075271Abstract: Implantable devices and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. The devices and systems of the present technology may be equipped with electronic components that provide a platform for remote patient and/or device monitoring. Operation of an implantable devices and/or one or more components thereof can be modulated over time depending on certain conditions. This modulation can include limiting wireless data communication with external devices to certain time intervals, varying parameters of data collection by sensing elements, and/or controlling power supplied to electronic components, for example. In some examples, an implantable device may operate in a low-power standby state in which data is obtained via sensing elements and stored in local data storage, but the data is not wirelessly transmitted to an external device until a modulation signal is received by the implantable device, causing the implantable device to change to a more active power state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: James D. Mitchell, Andrew Thoreson, Theodore C. Johnson, Jayme Ormiston Coates

Publication number: 20230181278Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for protecting medical personnel during medical procedures are disclosed herein. The present technology may comprise, for example, a flexible barrier configured to be positioned over all or a portion of the patient's head during the procedure. The barrier may comprise a first side configured to face towards the patient during the procedure and a second side configured to face towards a healthcare worker during the procedure. The barrier can include an access region configured to be positioned at or near a mouth of the patient when the barrier is positioned on the patient during the procedure. The access region can be configured to provide passage of a medical device through the barrier and into an oral cavity of the patient while maintaining a physical barrier around the medical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: James D. Mitchell, Andrew Thoreson, Jeanne Sue Pae

Publication number: 20220386961Abstract: Vascular access assemblies are disclosed herein. In one example, a vascular access assembly comprises a proximal catheter, a distal catheter, and a junction positioned between the proximal and distal catheters and configured to position the proximal and distal catheters in fluid communication. The junction may comprise one or more sensors configured to obtain physiological and/or operational measurements. The junction may be configured to wirelessly transmit the measurements to one or more local or remote computing devices for monitoring by a caregiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: James D. Mitchell, Andrew Thoreson
