  • Publication number: 20240079141
    Abstract: A wearable device is described that is configured to be positioned on or adjacent to a lower extremity of a person and to monitor a plurality of skin surface sites of the person. The wearable device may include a stimulus source having a surface area to provide stimulus, a blood volume sensor configured to sense a stroke event at the at least one of the plurality of skin surface sites, an electrode configured to obtain bioelectrical data, and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the wearable device and configured to: output a first activation signal to the stimulus source, output a second activation signal to the blood volume sensor, receive an output signal from the blood volume sensor, and determine a stroke event at the at least one of the plurality of skin surface sites based on the output signal.

  • Publication number: 20230072403
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for generating and updating one or more user interfaces of a mobile software application operating on a smart phone of a stroke survivor having an impairment. The method can include tracking a first state of stroke survivor post discharge. The method can also include generating a first user interface configured to be displayed on the smart phone and is dynamically updated based on the tracked first state of the stroke survivor. Further, the method can include a first ribbon in the first user interface corresponding to a first learning content. Moreover, the method can include splitting the learning content based on the impairment associated with the stroke survivor and a first property of the first learning content. Lastly, the method can include a second ribbon in the first user interface corresponding to a second learning content.

  • Publication number: 20230072213
    Abstract: A system for detecting an anomalous event in a person includes a body in contact with a skin surface of a person; a heat source for heating the skin surface to a target temperature; a skin temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of the skin surface in contact with the heat source; a blood volume sensor for measuring a blood volume of the skin surface; and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the heat source, the blood volume sensor, the skin temperature sensor, and an environmental temperature sensor. The hardware processor is configured to receive a baseline blood volume signal, output a heating signal to the heat source to initiate a heating cycle, receive a second blood volume signal from the blood volume sensor, compare the second blood volume signal to the baseline blood volume signal, and determine whether an anomalous biologic event has occurred.
