  • Publication number: 20210225493
    Abstract: BODI is an implant prescription and supply chain revolutionizing service. BODI is bringing accountability to the industry for surgical implants. It lowers both costs and risks for implant manufacturers, distributors, healthcare providers, insurers, and ultimately patients. The purpose of BODI is to provide transparency and safety when handling surgical devices and ultimately reduce costs for members, surgeons, and insurers. Medwell's BODI reduces the need for error-prone data entry and provides a solution that is completely automated throughout the chain of custody and beyond. By implementing our BODI tracking system, hospitals, surgery, and manufacturers will recognize annual savings while meeting strict compliance regulations and improving patient outcomes. By 2025, the current database system will encompass “blockchain” technologic capabilities to further enhance the system for all users.

  • Patent number: 5851691
    Abstract: An electrical apparatus, such as a pager, comprises a case having a battery holder in the form of a battery receiving recess of a size to receive the larger (or largest) of at least two coin-shaped batteries having respectively different predetermined diameters. A resiliently biased edge contact for bearing on the periphery of a battery protrudes through an aperture in a wall of the recess and another electrical contact is provided in the base of the recess. In order to adapt the battery holder to accommodate a smaller size of coin battery, resiliently biased battery locating abutment means are provided in the base of the recess at location(s) coinciding with the periphery of the smaller (or smallest) battery size when placed in the recess. The abutment means when extending into the recess maintain the smaller (or smallest) battery in contact with the resiliently biased edge contact but are depressed when the largest battery is placed in the recess.
