Publication number: 20210204879Abstract: Various embodiments of a bioelectric sensor device and a method of utilizing such device are disclosed. The bioelectric sensor device includes a central portion and an arm extending from the central portion, where at least a portion of the arm extends along an arm axis. The central portion includes an anatomical alignment mark adapted to align the central portion with an anatomical feature of a lateral surface of a torso of a patient. Further, the arm is adapted to be disposed on an anterior or posterior surface of the torso. The bioelectric sensor device also includes a sensor disposed on the arm along the arm axis, and a connector electrically connected to the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Daniel M.

Publication number: 20180225419Abstract: Techniques for systems and methods for remotely monitoring a patient are provided. The system comprises a plurality of input sources operable to acquire patient-specific information corresponding to a condition of a patient. A patient-centric threshold is computed based on relevant environmental, cultural, societal, religion, and economic data for evaluation of the acquired physiological parameters. Risk stratification is performed to determine the risk level of the patient based on the patient-centric threshold, and a recommendation is generated. The recommendation includes a treatment/care plan that can consist of prescriptions and patient education tailored to the risk stratification and patient-specific information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2016Publication date: August 9, 2018Applicant: MedtronicInventors: Emily ANTHONY, Brian L. Bechard, Jennifer A. Alwine, Keith K. Holloman, Nirav V. Sheth, Teresa A. Whitman, Jennifer M. Ramseth, Chemuttaai K. Lang'at, Christina Chow, Daniel M. Gelfman, Molly Guy, Daniel Grossman, Jote Taddese

Patent number: 9913988Abstract: Techniques for facilitating telemetry with an implantable device are provided. In one embodiment, an implantable device includes a detection component configured to detect first vibration activity generated by a mobile electronic device external to the implantable device. The first vibration activity includes one or more defined vibration behaviors. The implantable device further includes a memory that stores executable components, and a processor that executes the executable components stored in the memory. In some embodiments, an executable component includes an analysis component configured to determine whether the first vibration activity has a defined level of similarity with a first vibration pattern identifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Matthew R. Yoder, Daniel M. Gelfman

Publication number: 20150182766Abstract: A nasal air filtration device includes a pair of either planar or concave-convex filters, a support structure incorporating a pair of generally annular bases or sleeves for supporting the filters, and a bridge that couples the bases or sleeves to maintain them in a desired spaced-apart relation and to determine a desired angular relationship. The support structure is insertable into the nasal cavities to position the filters within corresponding nasal cavities. Flexible rims maintain the support structure and the filters in spaced-apart relation to the surrounding nasal wall. The filters may be placed within the bases at an angle with respect to the walls of the bases. Also, the filtration device may be flesh tone in color, thereby blending with the skin tone of the user. In some embodiments, a post structure is supplied for supplying a scent or aroma to the wearer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2014Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: David M. Dolezal, John D. Wilder, Daniel M. Gelfman

Patent number: 8812070Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for measuring tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) within the body are disclosed. A patient interface for use with a tissue measurement instrument can include a spring clip having a first arm and a second arm, a spring configured to bias the first and second arms together, and a means for optically connecting the patient interface to the tissue measurement instrument. The patient interface can be used in conjunction with an optical sourcing and receiving unit of a monitor for measuring tissue oxygen saturation at a measurement site on the patient. A testing interface on an external portion of the instrument housing and a testing module can be used to perform tests on the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Hutchinson Technology IncorporatedInventors: Paul J.

The support structure is insertable into the nasal cavities to position the filters within corresponding nasal cavities. Flexible rims maintain the support structure and the filters in spaced-apart relation to the surrounding nasal wall. The rims conform to surrounding nasal tissue to form seals. The rims can be selectively inclined to facilitate insertion and resist accidental removal. In certain embodiments the device is combined with a filter that covers the mouth to provide an air filtration system.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2005Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: AirWave, Inc.Inventors: David M.
