Abstract: System and method for managing health and safety protocols for occasions, including validation of health verification requirements, asynchronous communication, and generation of multi-factor health credentials. All components of the system can be configured within an integrated graphical user interface (GUI). These components, or subsystems, include a health verification subsystem to indicate one or more health verification requirements for attending the occasion, an occasion communication subsystem to manage communication with prospective visitors to the occasion, and an occasion access subsystem to generate electronic passes to the occasion for prospective visitors who comply with the health verification requirements. Health information provided by a prospective visitor is verified, a visitor/occasion specific QR code is generated and sent to the visitor in an email message.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rapidly introducing treatment to patients suffering traumatic brain injuries. A wearable map of the brain electroencephalography (EEG) points is worn in a headscarf, helmet, or other headgear for providing real-time information on a wearer's brain condition. The overall system includes an application (app) or program software that may run on a tablet, portable communication device, or computing device that processes the data from the EEG sensors and interprets the data in real time. If there is an accident or other stress forces experienced by the wearer that mimics a concussion, the system initiates the real-time ejection of a cooling agent within the headgear to provide a reduction in the victim's brain temperature with the helmet cooling system. A drug intervention system and injury detection app for expedited treatment of a potential brain injury during the critical early phases of the injury is also provided.

Abstract: A method for diagnosing and rapidly introducing treatment to a subject suffering visible or non-visible traumatic brain injury is provided. A wearable array of electroencephalography (EEG) sensors in electrical communication with a communications capability to one or more subjects is present. EEG readings from the one or more subjects in a database are accumulated. The occurrence of an accident or other stress forces experienced by a wearer that mimics a concussion or other trauma to the wearer's brain is detected. Based on a comparative analysis of the stored EEG readings in the database a determination is made whether a traumatic brain injury has occurred. A system for diagnosing and the rapid treatment of a wearer suffering traumatic brain injuries according to the inventive method is also provided.

Abstract: An abrading device for use in irritating and blotting a surgical area, preferably the area between the chest wall and lung of a patient, to allow the user to more easily insert and remove the surgical device reducing contact with surrounding tissue and wound edges. The device is primarily comprised of a cannula, a plurality of radial springs, an abrasive tip, an actuator and an adjuster. The actuator is configured to selectively move the abrasive tip and plurality of radial springs into and out of the cannula. The adjuster allows the user to selectively expand or collapse the abrasive tip.
