Abstract: A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip.

Abstract: A method of measuring blood pressure includes estimating systolic and diastolic blood pressures while inflating a cuff. The estimates of the systolic and diastolic blood pressures are based on waveform oscillations of pressure detected from the cuff. First and second ranges of interest are defined based on the estimated systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively. The method includes deflating the cuff at a first deflation rate until the first range of interest is reached and measuring the systolic blood pressure while deflating the cuff at a second deflation rate through the first range of interest. The second deflation rate is less than the first deflation rate. The method includes deflating the cuff at the first deflation rate until the second range of interest is reached, and measuring the diastolic blood pressure while deflating the cuff at the second deflation rate through the second range of interest.

Abstract: A system provides augmented reality in a healthcare facility. The system receives a video feed of the healthcare facility. The video feed captured by a camera mounted on a device worn by a caregiver. The system identifies a patient environment in the healthcare facility based on the video feed, and detects an alarm triggered inside the patient environment. The system displays a second video feed of the patient environment on a head-up display on the device worn by the caregiver. The second video feed is captured contemporaneously with an event that triggered the alarm inside the patient environment.

Abstract: A system for remotely monitoring a patient in a patient environment. The system receives an environment view and determines one or more objects for monitoring in the environment view. The system receives video data of the one or more objects. The video data is captured by a camera positioned inside the patient environment. The system generates a virtual field of view using the video data of the one or more objects. The virtual field of view provides the environment view and detailed views of the one or more objects within the environment view.

Abstract: A system for providing a clinical analysis of a subject is described. The system receives video data and audio data of the subject. The system extracts metadata from the video data and the audio data. The metadata includes an event, one or more parameters measured during the event, and a time stamp of when the event occurs in the video data and the audio data. The system generates an electronic medical record that includes a video display area for providing playback of the video data and the audio data, and a data stream area that displays one or more medically relevant events in the video data and the audio data. Selection of a medically relevant event causes the video display area to skip to a portion of the video data and the audio data where the medically relevant event occurs based on the time stamp in the metadata.
