Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identifying whether a patient is eligible for a Protected Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (Protected PCI®) are provided. The method comprises receiving medical information for a patient, extracting one or more features from the received medical information, classifying the patient with regard to the patient's eligibility for a Protected PCI® based, at least in part, on the extracted one or more features, to generate a patient classification, and outputting an indication of the patient classification.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that utilize smart hemodynamic support devices positioned in one area of the body, in combination with machine learning to infer and/or detect conditions in other areas of the body operably connected via blood flow.

Abstract: An electronic interface facilitates automatically transferring data from a heart pump controller database to an EMR system, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for caregivers to manually transcribe heart pump operational data from a heart pump controller screen to the EMR system. Some embodiments reduce or eliminate the need to periodically visit a patient to record the operational data. Instead, once programmed, the interface can automatically periodically send the operational data to the EMR system.

Abstract: Provided are new methods for controlling the operation of medical devices and related systems. Devices collect and relay sensor data via a secure internet connection in a streaming manner, but can also collect such data locally as cache data. When certain events occur, the devices also relay collected cache data. Device data is received by a network data system that analyzes the data and controls operation of the devices and other network devices based on such analysis. The medical devices can comprise multiple zones performing different data collection functions and being subject to different data relay processes. The system can segregate protected health information from commercial users that are allowed to access certain analytical data. In aspects, the system interacts with third party databases, e.g., customer relationship management systems, in generating analytical data. In aspects, machine learning processes are employed to improve the operation of such systems.

Abstract: This invention provides new systems and methods for controlling the operation of medical devices. Devices collect sensor data, relay such data as streaming data via a secure internet connection, but also collect such data locally as cache data. When events occur, such as an offline event, the devices also relay such cache data. Device data is received by a network data system that analyzes the data and controls operation of the devices and other network devices based on such analysis. The medical devices can comprise multiple zones performing different data collection functions and being subject to different data relay rules/processes. The system can segregate protected health information from commercial users that are allowed to access certain analytical data. In aspects, the system interacts with third party databases, e.g., customer relationship management systems, in generating analytical data. In aspects, machine learning processes are employed to improve the operation of such systems.

Abstract: A therapy cast can provide fixation, compression, or thermal therapy to a patient. The therapy cast can include a support structure configured to couple to a lower leg of a person and configured to at least partially restrict movement of the lower leg. A compression member can be configured to exert a compressive force to a first portion of the lower leg. The compressive force can include a gradient relative to a spatial position of the lower leg. A thermal member can provide thermal therapy to a second portion of the lower leg.
