Patent number: 11916888Abstract: A method that includes receiving patient-generated event data over a network from a patient device associated with a patient having an active digital therapy prescription for treating an underlying disease or disorder. The patient-generated event data is encrypted by the patient device and includes at least one timestamped event related to the active digital therapy prescription. In response to receiving the patient-generated event data, the method includes decrypting, anonymizing, and storing the anonymized patient-generated event data on memory hardware. The method further includes receiving a patient record request over the network from a healthcare provider (HCP) system that requests the patient-generated event data and includes an authentication token. In response to receiving the patient record request, the method includes retrieving and encrypting the anonymized patient-generated event data from the memory hardware using the authentication token.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Click Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Ian McFarland, Davina Pallone, Jason F.

Publication number: 20230346454Abstract: An electrosurgical generator arranged to supply radio frequency (RF) energy to fuse tissue is provided. The generator is arranged to supply RF energy through a removably coupled electrosurgical instrument to fuse tissue grasped by the instrument. The generator monitors a phase angle of the supplied RF energy and adjusts or terminates the supplied RF energy based on the monitored phase angle in comparison to predetermined thresholds and conditions to optimally fuse the tissue. The electrosurgical instrument conducts radio frequency energy to fuse tissue captured between the jaws and a blade to mechanically cut tissue between the jaws. A conductive post positioned on the jaw adjacent to the blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Patrick Elliott, Gary Johnson, Duy Nguyen, Daniel McFarland, Jagdish Sabarad, Benjamin Linville-Engler, Jeremy Albrecht, Dan Durant, Gerald Kowalski, Lou Tiberia, Michael Whitlock, Michael Logan, Igor Gorin, Kevin Hudson, Hank Jacobs, Thomas Matthews
