Publication number: 20220301666Abstract: This disclosure provides an efficient, hands-free system and method for capturing and recording patient treatment and physiological data in critical care environments. The systems and methods described herein enables clinicians to record and transcribe patient information and physiological data onto an individual disposable medical record tag, which accompanies the patientthroughout initial stabilization and presentation to a treatment center. The data tag digitally stores a patient's health status, and displays a specific color based on a patient's degree of injury or if treatment is required. The data tag forms the center of a patient centric network PCN of connectedhealth devices. An artificial intelligence machine learning model is used in combination with predictive analytics to assess a patient's condition and provide clinical decision support for clinicians based on predictive analytical models.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Lauren SHLUZAS, Alan SHLUZAS, Gabriel ALDAZ, Miguel GARCIA

SYSTEM AND METHODS OF IMPROVED HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE FOR DATA ENTRY INTO ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS
Publication number: 20180114288Abstract: This disclosure provides an efficient, hands-free system and method for capturing and recording patient data in critical care environments. The systems and methods described herein enables clinicians to record and transcribe patient information onto a disposable medical record tag (akin to a military ID tags), which accompanies the patient throughout initial stabilization and presentation to a treatment center. A Pre-Hospital Treatment & Triage (PHT) guidance system, visible in the HMD, can guide caregivers and/or first responders through treating the patient and documenting a patient's medical condition and treatment status, and triaging patients to the appropriate level of care. The head-mounted display can wirelessly transfer the patient's treatment data to a lightweight disposable data tag, referred to as an electronic TCCC (E-TC3) that is affixed to the patient. The data tag digitally stores a patient's health status, and displays a specific color based on a patient's degree of injury.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Gabriel ALDAZ, Alan E.

Patent number: 9781521Abstract: A portable hearing assistance device comprises an input unit, an output unit, a forward path between the input unit and the output unit, and an energy source for energizing components of the hearing assistance device. The hearing assistance device further comprises a control unit to control activation (or deactivation) of a low-power mode of operation of the hearing assistance device. When the low-power mode is activated—the draw of current from said energy source is reduced compared to a normal mode of operation of the device, the activation (or deactivation) being influenced by a combination of at least two different control input signals to the control unit, each control input signal being a signal selected from 1) signals relating to current physical environment, 2) signals relating to current acoustic environment, 3) signals relating to current wearer state, and 4) signals relating to current state or operation mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignees: OTICON A/S, BERNAFON AGInventors: Andreas Kofod-Hansen, Svend Oscar Petersen, Gabriel Aldaz, Gunnar Gudnason, Michael Syskind Pedersen, Dennis Presutti, Björn Legler, Poul Hilding Andersson, Christian Müller, Jesko Lamm, Monika Bertges Reber

Patent number: 8760284Abstract: A listening system that eases the acknowledgement of ‘alarm signals’, as e.g. issued by alarm indicators, in the environment of a user in difficult listening situations. The listening system is adapted to issue specific ALARM mode signals to the user corresponding to said external alarm signals, when said listening system is in an ALARM mode. An advantage of the present system is that a user is able to take notice of alarms from normal indicators even in case of a hearing impairment and/or when located in a noisy environment. The system may e.g. be used for the hearing instruments, ear protection devices, earphones, headsets or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Oticon A/SInventors: Svend Oscar Petersen, Mette Boel Pedersen, Gabriel Aldaz

Patent number: 8494198Abstract: A body-worn audio gateway device transmitting audio signals comprised in close-range electromagnetic signals may be used outside a car, where it may provide for hands-free mobile telephony and listening to music streamed directly to hearing devices worn by a user. When the user enters the car, he or she may want to use a corresponding in-car audio gateway device for the same purposes. This typically requires manual interaction e.g. to trigger the switch-over and to maintain hands-free operation of a carried mobile phone. Furthermore, the audio gateway devices may disturb each other, which may lead to malfunction, more troublesome interaction and/or reduced audio quality. To overcome this, the invention foresees means for detecting when the user enters and/or leaves the car and for automatically disabling functions of the first audio gateway device when the user is in the car.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Oticon A/SInventors: Gabriel Aldaz, Tobias Toft, Rune Bøttzauw
