Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods and systems for monitoring and detection of pressure on a part of a body of a user. In an embodiment, a device includes a substrate having a contact surface for contacting a user, one or more sacs associated with the contact surface of the substrate, and one or more sensors in communication with the one or more sacs, the one or more sensors adapted to measure changes in pressure in the one or more sacs. The sacs contain a fluidic material configured to transmit pressure. The fluidic material is further configured to be shock-absorbing and pressure-relieving such that the fluidic material is displaceable by an action of the user contacting the contact surface causing the pressure in the fluidic material to be redistributed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating patient self-measuring and recording are provided. In some embodiments, an exhalation pressure of a patient may be measured via a pressure transducer during a time period associated with an examination. A graphical component (indicating the exhalation pressure measurement) may be presented on a display such that the graphical component is continuously updated in real-time, as the exhalation pressure is being measured, until at least the end of the time period associated with the examination. Another graphical component (indicating a remaining time of the time period) may be presented on the display such that the other graphical component is continuously updated in real-time, as the exhalation pressure is being measured, until at least the end of the time period associated with the examination. A heart rate of the patient may be measured via electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes during the time period associated with the examination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for recording and presentation of physiological parameters, which can include both blood pressure and heart pulse. Information about the heart pulse is derived from a recorded blood pressure signal, whereby the need for e.g. an external ECG measurement device is eliminated. It is likewise a part of the invention that a blood pressure measurement is used for the derivation of data such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and/or baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) values.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device for measuring the concentration of analytes in liquid samples such as bodily samples. The device comprises an application zone, to which a sample can be applied, and which contains a specific molecule capable of specifically binding the analyte of interest, said specific molecule being conjugated to a reporter which can give rise to variations in impedance. The resulting complex migrates by capillarity and enters a detection zone, on which another molecule capable of specifically binding the analyte of interest is immobilised. The concentration of reporter molecules in the detection zone is proportional with the concentration of analyte in the sample, and variations in concentration of reporter molecules yield a measurable change in electrical properties such as a change in impedance and/or capacitance which can be correlated to the concentration of analyte.

Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for predicting and detecting a change in a physiological condition of a subject are disclosed. A device for detecting and predicting a change in physiological condition of a subject may include one or more processors configured to: (i) analyze changes in a heart rhythm of a subject; (ii) analyze a signal from one or more biomarkers that are associated with a physiological condition of the subject; and (iii) determine, based on the changes in the heart rhythm and the signal from the one or more biomarkers, whether there is a change in the physiological condition of the subject during a time period.

Abstract: The invention relates to an active plaster capable of applying electric current with a view to promoting a wound healing process in humans or animals based on the use of electrodes and electronics incorporated in a plaster which encapsulates the wound. It is moreover contemplated by the invention that the active plaster may contain electronics for measuring and indicating the wound stage. One or more diodes on the active plaster and/or on an external apparatus, which may be connected to the plaster, emit a green, yellow or red light and indicate which stage the wound is in, and thereby whether the plaster is to be changed. The measurements are based on the use of an apparatus with firmly integrated electrodes and electronics capable of applying current in the measurement object, such as for detecting the uptake of liquid in the tissue, determining the degree of ischemia and thereby determining the wound healing stage.

Abstract: ? Localization of blood vessels is based on a method and an apparatus having two or more pressure transducers, said apparatus being positioned on the skin over the blood vessel which is to be localized. The signals from the transducers are processed in accordance with the physiological point of departure by mutual weighting. The position of the blood vessel relative to the measuring transducers is found on the basis of a determination of the mass centre of the transducer signals. The transducers used are arranged in parallel in the same plane, but are physically separated by mechanical screens which prevent pressure transfer between two adjacent transducers. A measuring head in which the transducers are arranged is protected by a film of a skin-friendly material, ?ch as e.g. silicone rubber. The apparatuses for blood vessel localization visually inform the user of the position of the measuring ?aratus on the skin of the individual being measured.
