Publication number: 20230372741Abstract: A handheld ultrasound device and corresponding methods used for rejuvenating the vulvovaginal area of the user. In general, the handheld ultrasound devices include a device body coupled to an acoustic coupler and a handle. The device body further includes internal components including an ultrasound transducer, an energy delivery element, and circuitry for controlling the ultrasound output. The methods of using the handheld ultrasound device include engaging the tissue in and around the vulvovaginal area with the energy delivery element, applying ultrasound energy to the vulvovaginal tissue from the energy delivery element and through the acoustic coupler, and affecting a measurable parameter associated with vulvovaginal rejuvenation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Ryan Taylor KRONE, Holly Elizabeth ROCKWEILER, Lauren Paige JONES, Jonathan Daniel STEINBERGER

Patent number: 10751534Abstract: A system for treating a gastrointestinal tract may include a device configured to measure electrical activity at a plurality of locations within a gastrointestinal tract of a patient, a controller configured to compare the measured activity from the plurality of locations to a database of electrical activity corresponding to one or more gastric events, abnormalities, or dysrhythmias. The controller may be configured to determine one or more treatment locations based on the comparison, and cause the device to deliver therapy to the one or more treatment locations.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignees: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc., Lifespan CorporationInventors: Jeri Ann Hiller, Peter J. Snyder, Gene Thomas Storbeck, Kali Manning, Selina M. Mello, Holly Elizabeth Rockweiler, John Allen Hingston, Ding Sheng He, Dawn Winsor-Hines, Harlan Rich, Kathleen Corcoran, Gary Dean Roye, Beth Ryder, Sivamainthan Vithiananthan

Publication number: 20200171329Abstract: A method of treating vaginal tissue atrophy in a female subject, the method including the steps of engaging an energy delivery element with tissue in or around the subject's vagina; applying energy to the tissue from the energy delivery element; and increasing blood flow to internal vaginal tissue to an increased level above a baseline level of blood flow to the internal vaginal tissue, the increased level of blood flow to the internal vaginal tissue persisting after the applying step ceases. The invention also provides devices for performing this therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2020Publication date: June 4, 2020Applicant: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Holly Elizabeth ROCKWEILER, Ryan Taylor KRONE, Jonathan Daniel STEINBERGER, Kathryn OLSON

Patent number: 9827427Abstract: An interactive representation of electrostimulation electrodes or vectors can be provided, such as for configuring combinations of electrostimulation electrodes. In an example, electrodes or test parameters can be presented graphically or in a table. A user interface can be configured to receive user-input designating electrode combinations or vectors for test or for use in programming an implantable or ambulatory medical device. The interface can be used to indicate suggested electrode combinations or vectors in response to a first selection of an electrode. Tests can be performed on electrode combinations and vectors, and the results of the tests can be presented to a user using the interactive representation. In an example, test results can be analyzed by a processor and optionally used to program an implantable or ambulatory medical device.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: Sunipa Saha, Kenneth N. Hayes, Keith L. Herrmann, James R. Kalgren, Aaron R. McCabe, Holly Elizabeth Rockweiler, Shibaji Shome, Krzysztof Z. Siejko
