  • Publication number: 20260087619
    Abstract: A method and non-transitory computer-readable medium for automating eFAST analysis of ultrasound scans. The method includes receiving at least one ultrasound image from one or more scan sites; processing the ultrasound image to determine whether there is a presence of one or more fluid pockets or free fluid present in the patient, the injury is selected from pneumothorax, hemothorax, and abdominal hemorrhage; and outputting a result from the processing. A model is trained on historical ultrasound images over a historical observation period, the historical ultrasound images associated with at least one injury determined directly observed presence of a fluid pocket or free fluid present in those images.

  • Publication number: 20260053467
    Abstract: A method and system for obtaining one or more ultrasound images for use in an eFAST examination. A robotic arm is moved along a patient's body while sending images to a controller; the images are analyzed for anatomical landmarks to identify measurement areas; instructions are sent from the controller to the robotic arm to direct the robotic arm to the measurement areas; and an ultrasound transducer is pressed against the patient's skin to capture an ultrasound image upon reaching the measurement area.

  • Publication number: 20260038681
    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and computer-readable media are described that provide supervisory control of physiologic closed-loop controllers including: monitoring in real-time physiological state information of a patient and continuously determining from the physiological state information a plurality of casualty states of the patient; and in response to changes in two or more determined casualty states of the patient, simultaneously adaptively controlling and adjusting operation of a plurality of physiological closed-loop controllers (PCLCs) in accordance with a plurality of supervisory rules of a supervisory algorithm for casualty management (SACM) to harmonize operation of the PCLCs.

  • Publication number: 20250366830
    Abstract: A system and a method for automatically predicting an internal trauma of a patient. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) images of the patient are processed, with each POCUS image associated with a scan site of the patient, in accordance with selected scan sites of the patient and augmentation settings to generate processed POCUS images of the patient. The processed POCUS images associated with the one or more selected scan sites and augmentation settings are interpreted using one or more trained AI models to automatically generate a predicted internal trauma injury result at a selected scan site of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20250049388
    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and computer-readable media are described for providing adaptive and closed loop hemorrhagic shock resuscitation. A computing device may cause activation of an automated tourniquet configured to impede extremity bleeding. The computing device may additionally cause activation of an adaptive resuscitation controller by determining a desired mean arterial pressure setpoint and causing, based on the desired mean arterial pressure setpoint, the adaptive resuscitation controller to infuse fluids into the patient. The computing device may then monitor component pressure measurements of the automated tourniquet and blood pressure parameters of the patient. The computing device may then, based on the component pressure measurements, cause modification of one or more operating parameters of the automated tourniquet.

  • Publication number: 20110187864
    Abstract: Embodiments of site surveillance system for remote monitoring on portable devices are described. In one aspect, a system includes a data capture module, a communication module, and a surveillance server module. The data capture module is configured to capture images or sounds and generate electronic signals representative of the captured images or sounds. The communication module is configured to establish wireless communication with a portable device. The surveillance server module is communicatively coupled to the data capture module and the communication module, and is configured to receive the electronic signals as surveillance data from the data capture module, receive a request from the portable device via the communication module, and cause the surveillance data to be presented to a user by the portable device in response to the request from the portable device.

  • Publication number: 20080114857
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing information stored in a networking device responsive to communication requests from a client. In one embodiment, a method may include receiving communication requests from a client at a networking device, and providing information stored in the networking device to the client responsive to the communication requests from the client. In another embodiment, an apparatus may include a networking device operable to communicate with a plurality of clients and to provide information stored in the networking device to the plurality of clients responsive to communication requests from the plurality of clients.
