Abstract: The presently disclosed digital healthcare platform provides patients and healthcare providers with a precise and focused treatment pathway to address healthcare issues. One embodiment enables a patient-initiated e-Visit to address a healthcare issue with an issue-focused adaptive interview. The results of this adaptive interview are forwarded to a skilled clinician for review, who then provides an assessment and a plan of action for the issue. The plan of action may include specific instructions, a prescription, or a referral to a third party medical provider for testing, consultation, or treatment. Another embodiment provides an identification “ticket” to the patient to coordinate care obtained at third parties. The ticket can be presented by the patient to a third party medical provider (such as with a barcode displayed on a mobile device) to identify the patient and enable the third party medical provider to access patient information from the digital healthcare platform.

Abstract: An improved humidifier which may be used with a nasal cannula for high-flow respiratory gas therapy wherein a sterilized liquid is drawn from a sterilized liquid container by a high-flow driving gas passing adjacent to an aspirator tube orifice through which the sterilized liquid is drawn into contact with the driving gas for fracturing the liquid into a mist which is warmed and delivered to the patient or user, and the driving gas is also passed adjacent a condensate return orifice which draws any condensate formed in the humidified respiratory gas delivery system away from the cannula and back into the system for re-use.

Abstract: A multi-use, hand held, single patient oscillatory positive expiratory pressure respiratory therapy device which is easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning, and which is not position dependent during therapy, but operable through a wide range of device orientation.

Abstract: An improved nebulizer breathing system wherein a supplemental gas may be introduced into the nebulizer head at a position after the liquefied medication has been fractured or nebulized, so that the introduction of the supplemental gas does not effect the rate at which the nebulized liquefied medication is applied to the user, and the mixture of gases to be administered to a patient is added to the breathing system at a position removed from the point at which the gas mixture is administered to the patient.

Abstract: A nebulizer having a supplemental gas inlet port carried by the nebulizer head at a position removed from the nebulizer chamber so that the supplemental gas introduced does not entrain the liquid medicant effecting the rate of medication application to a user.

Abstract: A viscous torsional vibration damper having an annular chamber surrounding a central hub and first and second annular inertia masses located within the annular chamber. The innermost first inertia mass is closely coupled with an inner surface of the working chamber, and has a Teflon bearing arranged between the first inertia mass and the inner surface. The second annular inertia mass is closely mechanically coupled with the first inertia mass by lateral damping units, such as by elastomeric O-rings, such that the combination of the first and second inertia masses and the damping units are substantially freely rotatable within the working chamber due to the Teflon bearing but are arranged to absorb lateral vibrations by the lateral dampers. A viscous fluid is disposed within the working chamber surrounding the inertia masses.
