  • Publication number: 20250009253
    Abstract: A mask-based diagnostic apparatus for detecting a biomarker contained in exhaled breath of a test subject. An exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collector converts breath vapor from the lungs and airways into a fluid biosample. The EBC collector includes a condensate-forming surface and a thermal mass in thermal connection with the condensate-forming surface. A fluid transfer system transfers the EBC to at least one of a testing unit and an EBC containment vessel. Prior to testing, a semipermeable membrane concentrates a target biomarker portion in the fluid biosample to form a concentrated fluid biosample for testing. A target biomarker releasing material, such as a lysing agent, and/or mechanical lysing, can be used to obtained a target biomarker for testing that is within a viral envelope. The testing unit can be a universal g-FET biosensor constructed as a packaged semiconductor device that receives and tests the EBC as a fluid biosample.

  • Publication number: 20240347190
    Abstract: A mask-based diagnostic (MBD) system for remote patient monitoring that collects chemical biomarker data and non-chemical biometric data from patients in a non-invasive manner. The MBD can be used to monitor various medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. The system consists of a mask having an exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collector that tests for chemical biomarkers in EBC. Non-chemical biometric data, such as temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels can also be obtained using a wearable electronic device. The collected data is transmitted wirelessly to a remote server for aggregation, analysis, and interpretation using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. The AI algorithms detect patterns and trends in the patient data, which can be used for drug discovery, to identify health issues, adjust treatment plans, etc.

  • Publication number: 20230214022
    Abstract: A wearable electronic Human Machine Interface (HHMI) receives electrical activity from muscles and nerves of a user. An electrical signal is determined having characteristics based on the received electrical activity. The electrical signal is generated and applied to an object to cause an action dependent on the received electrical activity. The object can be a biological component of the user, such as a muscle, another user, or a remotely located machine such as a drone. Exemplary uses include mitigating tremor, accelerated learning, cognitive therapy, remote robotic, drone and probe control and sensing, virtual and augmented reality, stroke, brain and spinal cord rehabilitation, gaming, education, pain relief, entertainment, remote surgery, remote participation in and/or observation of an event such as a sporting event, biofeedback and remotality. Remotality is the perception of a reality occurring remote from the user. The reality may be remote in time, location and/or physical form.

  • Publication number: 20210244941
    Abstract: A wearable electronic therapeutic device has one or more biometric detectors each for detecting one or more biometric parameters. The biometric parameters are dependent on at least one physiological change to a patient in response to a therapeutic treatment. A microprocessor receives the one or more biometric parameters and applies probabilistic analysis to determine if at least one physiological change threshold has been exceeded dependent on the probabilistic analysis of the two or more biometric parameters. An activation circuit activates an action depending on the determined exceeded physiological change. The action that is activated can be applying an elcetroceutical treatment in addition or as an alternative to a pharmaceutical treatment.

  • Patent number: 9941450
    Abstract: A bottom electrically conductive surface is disposed on the top surface of a substrate and a top electrically conductive surface disposed on the bottom surface of a superstrate. A bare die electronic device is disposed with at least one of its top conductor in direct electrical communication with the bottom electrically conductive surface and/or its bottom conductor in direct electrical communication with the top conductive surface. A non-conductive adhesive secures the substrate to the superstrate so that the bare die electronic device is retained in direct electrical communication. The non-conductive adhesive has a melting point temperature at least greater than a minimum operating temperature of the operating temperature range of the bare die, so that the non-conductive adhesive does not melt and flow thereby preventing a separation or degradation of the direct electrical connection of the bare die electronic device.
