  • Patent number: 11944835
    Abstract: In embodiments, a Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system includes a support structure for the patient to wear, and components that the support structure maintains on the patient's body. The components include a defibrillator, associated electrodes, and so on. The defibrillator can operate in a WCD mode while the patient wears the support structure. The defibrillator can further operate in a different, AED mode, during which time the patient need not wear a portion of the support structure, or even the entire support structure. Sometimes the AED mode is a type of a fully automatic AED mode. Other times the AED mode is a type of a semi-automated AED mode, where an attendant is present to administer the shock; at such times, the patient may not even need to have electrodes attached. This way the patient is more comfortable for a longer time.

  • Publication number: 20220192605
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method to track the cardiac health of a patient is described. The method includes connecting to at least one motion sensor configured to sense movement of a patient and receiving motion data from the at least one motion sensor. The method further includes monitoring an activity level of the patient based at least in part on the motion data and detecting a change in the activity level of the patient based at least in part on the motion data. The method also includes altering a monitoring status of the cardiac health of the patient for a predetermined period of monitoring time based at least in part on the change in activity level.

  • Patent number: 9322215
    Abstract: A ladder includes a leveler engages a bottom of each side rail for 1) causing extendable legs to move to a level ground-engaging position, 2) causing the legs to lock when both legs engage the ground, and 3) causing the extendable legs to move to a centered/retracted position when lifted from the ground. The leveler includes pawls, links, pinions, and a shaft forming a four-bar linkage for selectively moving the pawls inward to the disengaged position when the pinion and shaft are each freely rotatable, but selectively moving the pawl outward into locking engagement when the shaft resists movement due to ground engagement by both legs. The leveler can be constructed to attach to an inside of the side rails, thus facilitating pre-assembly.
