Abstract: Methods and systems for generating physiological metrics for display on a computing device are disclosed herein. In some implementations, an exemplary system comprises a torso wearable device including a wireless transmitter and a sensor, and non-transitory computer-readable media (CRM). The CRM, when executed by a computing device in communication with the wireless transmitter, can perform operations comprising: receiving the input signals representing respiration of the user; displaying a graphical user interface to the user; receiving one or more user inputs associated with a desired metric; displaying on the graphical user interface a first visualization corresponding to the desired metric; and displaying on the graphical user interface a second visualization corresponding to a physiological metric based on the input signals generated from the sensor. The second visualization can change in real time based on real time angular displacement of the sensor in response to the respiration of the user.

Abstract: The following relates generally to an injectable cardiac monitor. In some embodiments, an injectable cardiac monitor includes: a sensor configured to detect a cardiac signal from a mammal; a processor configured to process the detected cardiac signal; a transmitter configured to transmit the processed signal to a computing device; and a capsule for injecting into the mammal. In some implementations, the capsule includes: a body configured to enclose all of the sensor, the processor, and the transmitter; and wings configured to, upon deployment into the mammal, deploy outwardly from the body of the capsule.

Abstract: The following relates generally to an injector for injecting a cardiac monitor. In some embodiments, an injector includes: a push-rod configured to be inserted into a case at a first end of the case, where the case is configured to hold the injectable cardiac monitor. In some embodiments, the case includes: a first handle protruding from a first side of the case; a second handle protruding from a second side of the case; and a beveled needle configured to be attached to a second end of the case, and configured to be inserted into a mammal to inject the injectable cardiac monitor into the mammal.

Abstract: A fully automated ultrasound apparatus includes a sensor or probe which can be initially manually attached to a side of the neck of a patient, an ultrasound interface to control the sensor and periodically acquire raw ultrasound data, a signal and image processing system to autonomously convert the raw ultrasound data into a measurement that is useful to physicians, and a display to relay the current measurements and measurement history to provide data trends. The sensor can include one or more ultrasound transducers built into a housing. A disposable component can serve to secure the sensor to the neck of the patient and to provide a coupling medium between the sensor and the skin of the patient.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device includes a light sensor configured to sense environmental light, a timer that provides time indicators, a motion sensing unit that senses motion and outputs motion data according thereto, and a data storage that receives and stores the motion data or other data derived therefrom in association with the time indicators. After sensing environmental light with the light sensor, the timer begins providing the time indicators and the motion sensing unit begins sensing the motion.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system uses a magnetic linear motor driven ultrasound scanner, with accurate track and hold operation and/or other motion feedback, to scan a two dimensional or three dimensional area of a sample. The scanner is implemented in a low-power and low-bandwidth handheld device and is connected with a remote image processing system that receives raw data and performs full ultrasound image analysis and creation, allowing the handheld to be used for scanning, pre-processing, and display.

Abstract: An atrial fibrillation classification system collects celectrocardiogram signals and converts them to a frequency, time, or phase domain representation for analysis. An evaluation stage extracts energy density profile over a range of frequencies, time intervals, or phases, which is then summed and normalized to form dispersion metrics. The system then analyzes the dispersion metrics, in their respective domains, to determine whether a patient is experiencing an arrhythmia and then to classify the type of arrhythmia being experienced.
