  • Publication number: 20230355125
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medical device in the form of a medical guide wire. The medical guide wire can be used in delivering catheters to treatment sites within human vasculature, and can also be configured to simultaneously allow the user to determine the nature of the blockage within human vasculature. The medical guide wire can be used to determine the extent of organization of thrombus by sensing the electrical resistivity across a blockage. The medical guide wire can include a hollow core through which at least two electrical leads run along the partial or full length of the medical guide wire from proximal to distal end of the medical guide wire. The medical guide wire can include two or more sensors at its distal portion and the sensors are separated from each other.

  • Patent number: 10254825
    Abstract: Smart wearable devices and methods are disclosed for providing feedback for optimal placement of the wearable device. This includes systems and methods to lock or unlock a wearable device and/or notify external wearable/non-wearable devices depending on the states of the wearer by sending notification or providing feedback if mispositioned or repositioned on the wearer. A system and method are disclosed for providing a user indication of proper placement of a wearable device by providing feedback based on acquired bio-signal quality. In one embodiment, bio-signal quality is acquired by comparing a computed signal to noise ratio to that of an expected signal.
