Patent number: 11963750Abstract: A system for non-invasive hematological measurements includes a platform to receive a body portion of a user and an imaging device to acquire a set of images of a capillary bed in the body portion. For each image, a controller detects one or more capillaries in the body portion of the finger to identify a first set of capillaries by estimating one or more attributes of each capillary (e.g., structural attributes, flow attributes, imaging attributes, or combinations thereof), wherein at least one attribute of each capillary meets a predetermined criterion. The controller also identifies a second set of capillaries from the first set of capillaries such that each capillary of the second set of capillaries is visible in a predetermined number of images of the set of images.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignees: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Universidad Politecnica De MadridInventors: Carlos Castro-Gonzalez, Ian Butterworth, Aurelien Bourquard, Alvaro Sanchez Ferro, Jason Tucker-Schwartz, Alberto Pablo Trinidad, Maria J. Ledesma Carbayo, Tom Vettenburg

Patent number: 11083381Abstract: Systems and methods for epicardial electrophysiology and other procedures are provided in which conditions at the location of an access needle may be determined according to the detection of different pressure frequencies in separate organs, or different locations, in the body of a subject. Methods may include inserting a needle including a first sensor into a body of a subject, and receiving pressure frequency information from the first sensor. A second sensor may be used to provide cardiac waveform information of the subject, and the pressure frequency information may be segmented based on the cardiac waveform information. Conditions at the current location of the needle may be determined based on an algorithm including the segmented pressure frequency information and the cardiac waveform information.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: University of Virginia Patent FoundationInventors: Srijoy Mahapatra, George T. Gillies, Jason Tucker-Schwartz

Patent number: 9642534Abstract: Systems and methods for epicardial electrophysiology and other procedures are provided in which the location of an access needle may be inferred according to the detection of different pressure frequencies in separate organs, or different locations, in the body of a subject. Methods may include inserting a needle including a first sensor into a body of a subject, and receiving pressure frequency information from the first sensor. A second sensor may be used to provide cardiac waveform information of the subject. A current location of the needle may be distinguished from another location based on an algorithm including the pressure frequency information and the cardiac waveform information.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: University of Virginia Patent FoundationInventors: Srijoy Mahapatra, George T.
