  • Publication number: 20240139531
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for generating pulse pacing in a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (“WCD”). In one aspect the WCD circuitry includes a power source such as a battery coupled to a charger that provides charge energy to an energy storage module. Control circuitry is operatively coupled to the charger and the output circuitry, and configured to cause the WCD circuitry to generate pacing pulses delivered to therapy electrodes (attached to an ambulatory patient) without a current source. The WCD circuitry includes one or more processing elements that are used to execute instructions provided by one or more software modules that are configured to support various functionality, including controlling generation of pacing pulses.

  • Patent number: 9986905
    Abstract: In some example implementations, there is provided a method for predicting retinal degeneration in multiple eye diseases. The method may include receiving three-dimensional data representative of a plurality of layers of a retina of a subject under test; determining, from the received data, oxygen concentration at one or more of the plurality of layers; detecting, based on the determined oxygen concentration, a region of at least one a high oxygen concentration in the retina or a low oxygen concentration in the retina; and comparing the detected region to reference data to determine whether the retina including the detected region suffers from or will suffer from at least one of a retinal disease or a degeneration of the retina. Related apparatus are also disclosed.
