Abstract: A hydrogel pad is configured for use with an electrode or a wearable device to measure vital signs of a patient. The hydrogel pad includes a flexible support having one or more openings in which hydrogel is disposed. A membrane covers one side of the hydrogel to protect it from gaining or losing too much moisture. A removable backing covers the other side of the hydrogel until it is applied to a patient, at which point the other side contacts the patient's skin. The protective membrane can be pierced by an angular conductive contact of a device to contact the hydrogel creating an electric conduit between the patient and the device. When the device is removed, the membrane at least partially closes to cover and protect the hydrogel.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a virtual learning environment comprising a three-dimensional interactive virtual environment. The virtual learning environment includes at least one student avatar related to a user and a second avatar that functions as an automated tutor. The automated tutor is powered by an AI processor and machine learning to generate interactive real-time responses in response to queries input by the user.

Abstract: A screening method includes controlling a heat source of a screening device to reach a selected temperature, determining a location of a subject, and determining that the location is a desired distance from the screening device. The method also includes based at least in part on determining that the location is the desired distance from the screening device, simultaneously determining a temperature of the subject and a temperature of the heat source using a temperature sensor of the screening device.

Abstract: A therapeutic wrap includes a flexible member configured to wrap around an affected area. Actuators are operably coupled to the flexible member. Each actuator is operable between a deployed state and a non-deployed state. A first coupling feature is disposed proximate a first edge on a first surface of the flexible member. A second coupling feature is disposed proximate a second edge on a second surface of the flexible member. The first coupling feature is configured to engage the second coupling feature when the flexible member is wrapped around the affected area and when the flexible member is slidably adjusted relative to the affected area. A retaining feature is coupled to at least one end of the flexible member and configured to retain the flexible member in a selected position on the affected area.

Abstract: A wearable health management system includes a flexible member configured to be worn on an affected area by a patient. At least one actuator is operably coupled to the flexible member. The at least one actuator is configured to be adjusted between a deployed state and a non-deployed state. At least one of a photoplethysmogram sensor and a bioimpedance sensor is coupled to the flexible member to obtain one or more health metrics from the patient. A controller is in communication with the at least one actuator. The controller is configured to adjust the at least one actuator to the deployed state to provide a selected pressure to the affected area.

Abstract: A housing assembly includes a housing body that defines an internal chamber. A connection bracket is located in the internal chamber and includes a first spindle bracket and a second spindle bracket. The first spindle bracket has a first recess and the second spindle bracket has a second recess. A cuff roll assembly includes a first spindle located in the first recess and a second spindle located in the second recess. The first spindle is spaced from the second spindle. A roll of pressure cuffs includes a plurality of pressure cuffs that are sequentially connected and wrapped around the first spindle and the second spindle. The plurality of pressure cuffs each include a first connection strip that is formed of hooks and a second connection strip that is formed of loops. The loops are formed of non-woven polyethylene terephthalate spunlace material.

Abstract: An example method performed by a vision screening device includes receiving, from an external medium, a signal and identifying a vision test associated with the external medium based on the signal. The vision screening device receives feedback characterizing the vision test from a subject. In addition, the vision screening device determines whether the subject is suspected to have an ocular condition based on the feedback based on the vision test.

Abstract: An example device is configured to capture an image of an eye. The device includes a camera configured to capture the image of the eye. The device also includes: a first base configured to be moved along a first axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye; a second base configured to be moved along a second axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye; and a third base configured to be moved along a third axis to position the camera to capture the image of the eye.

Abstract: A system includes a base, and an actuator having a first end and a second end. The system also includes a shaft configured to rotate relative to the base, and a drive link fixed to the shaft. The system further includes a support arm. A first end of the support arm being fixed to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft causes commensurate rotation of the support arm. The system also includes a timing link having a first end pivotably connected to the base and a second end opposite the first end. Additionally, the system includes a mount coupled to the second end of the timing link. The mount is configured to maintain a substantially constant orientation relative to the base as the support arm transitions between a raised position and a lowered position.
