  • Patent number: 12050572
    Abstract: Various aspects described herein relate to systems and methods for merging records from multiple database systems. A method may include comparing, by one or more processors, two or more records of a plurality of records. The plurality of records may be from a plurality of database systems. Each of the plurality of records may be a patient record or an employee record. The method may also include determining, by the one or more processors, that a threshold match exists between the two or more records based upon a set of threshold matching criteria. The method may also include merging, by the one or more processors, the two or more records, based upon determining that the threshold match exists, into a person database entity. A unique entity identifier may be associated with the person database entity.

  • Publication number: 20230329630
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for monitoring a user's respirator), condition and provide decision support by analyzing a user's audio data. Spoken phonemes may be detected within audio data, and acoustic features may be extracted for the phonemes. A distance metric may be computed to compare phoneme feature sets of a user. Based on the comparison, a determination about the user's respiratory condition, such as whether the user has a respiratory condition (e.g., an infection) and/or whether the condition is changing, may be made. Some aspects include predicting the user's respiratory condition in the future utilizing the phoneme feature sets. Decision support tools in the form of computer applications or services may utilize the detected or predicted respiratory condition information to initiate an action for treating a current condition or mitigating a future risk.

  • Publication number: 20200360602
    Abstract: A medical device for delivery of a fluid to a patient from a line terminating in a tubing needle. The medical device includes a cannula assembly for coupling the fluid into a cannula that is inserted into the patient. The cannula assembly has a first locking element disposed in a fixed position with respect to the cannula. Coupling the line to the cannula assembly is an infusion flap. The infusion flap includes a second locking element for engaging the first locking element of the cannula assembly and a lift tab for disconnecting the infusion flap from the cannula assembly. Coupling of the first and second locking elements requires initial mating of the infusion flap and cannula assembly followed by locking through rotation of the infusion flap with respect to the cannula assembly.

  • Patent number: 8968232
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to heat-exchanger systems that can be used to heat or cool a fluid such as blood. Pod pumps that provide low shear and low turbulence may be used in such systems, particularly for systems that pump blood. A certain heat-exchanger system used to heat blood or other fluids may be used to provide whole-body hyperthermic treatments or regional hyperthermic chemotherapy treatments. A disposable unit may be used to separate the fluid path from the fluid control systems. The disposable unit typically includes a heat-exchanger component that is received by a corresponding heat exchanger in a base unit. Fluid pumped through the heat-exchanger component is heated by the heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20130037480
    Abstract: Disclosed are hemodialysis and similar dialysis systems including fluid flow circuits. Hemodialysis systems may include a blood flow path, and a dialysate flow path including balancing, mixing, and/or a directing circuits. Preparation of dialysate may be decoupled from patient dialysis. Circuits may be defined within one or more cassettes. The fluid circuit and/or the various fluid flow paths may be isolated from electrical components. A gas supply may be provided that, when activated, is able to urge dialysate through the dialyzer and blood back to the patient. Such a system may be useful during a power failure. The hemodialysis system may also include fluid handling devices, such as pumps, valves, mixers, etc., actuated using a control fluid. The control fluid may be delivered to the fluid handling devices using a detachable external pump. The fluid handling devices have a spheroid shape with a diaphragm dividing it into two compartments.
