  • Patent number: 10602963
    Abstract: A system for telemetrically monitoring a patient includes a remote monitoring device associated with the patient. A location services system tracks a location of the remote monitoring device. A patient tracking computer calculates a distance and a duration of patient ambulation from the tracked location. A method of monitoring an ambulatory patient monitors the location of a remote monitoring device and derives ambulatory event data from the monitored location.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8572610
    Abstract: The system and method of the present application includes a functional software stack including a type 1 hypervisor running on a single hardware platform. One embodiment of the hardware platform includes a processor and storage media, as well as network and video hardware. The hypervisor includes a network driver and a display driver, and executes directly on the hardware and abstracts the hardware from any guest operating systems (OS). To the OS, the hypervisor appears to be the base hardware platform and the network and display drivers appear to be similar hardware as well. The guest OS includes the resident patient monitoring application as well as third party applications, both of which execute independently on the virtualized hardware of the hypervisor. The network and display drivers manage the monitoring network and display regions in a monitoring display that are available to the guest operating systems.

  • Patent number: 7749164
    Abstract: A system and a method allowing a technician to monitor the condition of a plurality of patients and communicate their condition to an attending clinician. A centralized receiving station receives signals from each of the patients being monitored. A graphical user interface simultaneously displays an indication of patient condition for each of a plurality of patients. A technician utilizes this information to efficiently communicate the conditions of the patients to an attending clinician.

  • Patent number: 5269080
    Abstract: An athletic shoe has a sole that is slightly, if at all, thicker than soles that are common to athletic shoes. A plurality of spikes or cleats are caused to depend from the bottom of the sole by an actuation mechanism that has a rotatable knob projecting from the back of the athletic shoe. The structure of the sole provides for openings to the undersurface to allow spikes to pivot outwardly beyond the undersurface of the sole. The actuating device has an actuator slide that translates a transverse movement to a pivotal movement of the spikes.
