  • Publication number: 20230248314
    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for determining an emplacement of sensors in a wound dressing are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wound dressing includes a plurality of sensors configured to measure wound or patient characteristics. One or more processors are configured to receive wound or patient characteristics data as well as emplacement data. The received data can be used to determine an emplacement of the plurality of sensors, the wound dressing, or a wound. The sensors can include a set of nanosensors. The wound dressing can include pH sensitive ink which can be utilized for determining a placement of the wound dressing and determining a pH associated with the wound. The wound dressing can be used in a negative pressure wound therapy system.

  • Patent number: 11652917
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to stop both external and internal fraud, ensure correct actions are being followed, and information is available to fraud teams for investigation. The system includes components that can address: 1) behavioral analytics (ANI reputation, IVR behavior, account activity)—this gives a risk assessment event before a call gets to an agent; 2) fraud detection—the ability to identify, in real time, if a caller is part of a fraudster cohort' and alert the agent and escalate to the fraud team; 3) identity authentication—the ability to identify through natural language if the caller is who they say they are; and 4) two factor authentication—the ability to send a text message to the caller and automatically process the response and create a case in the event of suspected fraud.

  • Publication number: 20190282738
    Abstract: According to certain aspects, a negative pressure wound therapy system can include a negative pressure therapy apparatus configured to apply negative pressure to a wound of a patient. The negative pressure therapy device can include a wound dressing configured to be placed over the wound, a negative pressure source supported by the wound dressing, and a controller. The controller can include a processor configured to determine operating data of the negative pressure therapy apparatus and transmit the operating data. The negative pressure wound therapy system can further include a wireless communication device having a controller with one or more processors. The controller of the wireless communication device can be configured to be communicatively coupled to the negative pressure therapy apparatus and further configured to receive the operating data transmitted by the controller of the negative pressure therapy apparatus. The controller can be further configured to output the operating data.
