Abstract: A range of surgical treatment options for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) as well as non-surgical treatments exist for POP and UI. However, the fitting of physical non-surgical devices such as Kegel assist devices and pessaries is by best guess or trial-and-error. The inventors have established methods, processes and devices to provide measurements of user specific anatomy and physiology in a reproducible manner with devices and systems that remove measurement artifacts, errors, bias etc. whilst providing the patient with an improved experience and the medical personnel with ergonomic, efficient, and easy to use systems. Further, new and improved designs, processes and methods for providing user specific physical non-surgical devices based upon such measurements are established that incorporate user specific anatomy and physiology, user lifestyle, and user experiences into the design and implementation of custom vaginal therapeutic devices.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments describe techniques for physiological analysis. The physiological analysis is based on the use of a wearable sensor array. A plurality of sensors and conductors is coupled to a compression garment, where the compression garment has stretchable portions that stretch, e.g., in a single dimension. The garment can include a shirt, a sports bra, or a vest. Associated on-board electronics are mounted to at least one of the compression garment and the hub and electrically connected to the hub and generate a physiological profile, based on at least one output from each of the sensors. At least one aspect of the physiological profile is communicated to a processor configured to analyze the at least one aspect and generate an assessment based on the analysis.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user may select a cable modem (CM) at a graphical user interface (GUI) of a network device for testing. The network device may receive the indication of a selected query from GUI and transmit the selected query to the CM. The network device may receive a response message from the CM and compare the response message to an expected response message. The network device may generate a report indicating a status of the CM based on the comparing. The status of the CM may relate to a compliance of the CM to a standard. Additionally or alternatively, the status of the CM may indicate a performance level of the CM.
