  • Patent number: 11944380
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein relate to systems, methods, and devices to facilitate mass vision screening of individuals. An example method includes capturing a first image of an individual and confirming an identity of the individual based on the first image. In response to confirming the identity of the individual, the method may further include capturing one or more second images of an eye of the individual; determining one or more health metrics of the individual based on the one or more second images, and transmitting, to a remote device, the identity of the individual and the one or more health metrics of the individual. The one or more health metrics may include at least one of a pupillary distance of the individual, a pupil size of the eye of the individual, a complete refraction of the eye of the individual, or an alignment indicator of the eye of the individual.

  • Patent number: 11918331
    Abstract: A movement detection device includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit a radar signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected radar signals, and a signal analysis device configured to analyze the reflected radar signals to detect a movement in the target area that is indicative of micro-shivering. In response to detecting the micro-shivering, the movement detection device generates an alarm.

  • Publication number: 20230197263
    Abstract: A monitoring device receives an identifier for a caregiver, determines an access level for the monitoring device based upon the identifier of the caregiver, and generates a dynamic interface. The dynamic interface being configured based upon the access level of the caregiver. The monitoring devices accesses historical physiological information based upon the access level and suggests one or more alarm limits based upon the historical physiological information.

  • Patent number: 11471042
    Abstract: A vision screening apparatus includes first and second display units, a processor, and instructions which are executable by the processor. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to 1) carry out a photorefraction test of a subject, 2) estimate the subject's visual acuity based on the photorefraction test, 3) present the subject with a visual acuity check optotype for an interval of time, and 4) monitor for noncompliance with a visual acuity check protocol during at least part of the time interval.

  • Publication number: 20220287565
    Abstract: An example method includes identifying at least one first parameter of a patient detected during a time interval and identifying a second parameter of the patient detected during the time interval. A position of the individual during the time interval is determined based on the second parameter. Based on determining that the position of the patient is substantially unchanged during the time interval, the example further includes transmitting data identifying the patient and indicating the at least one first parameter to an electronic medical record (EMR) system.

  • Patent number: 11251635
    Abstract: A vital signs monitor includes an equipment housing defining an equipment compartment, a circuit assembly and a battery residing inside the equipment compartment, an electrical connector forming a connection between the battery assembly and the circuit assembly, and a battery discharge circuit. A retainer joined to the equipment housing retains the battery assembly in the housing. The retainer is separable from the housing so that its separation causes a break in the electrical connection and activates the discharge circuit.
