  • Cancer detection and ablation system and method
    Patent number: 11754567
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to detect and/or ablate cancerous tissue, such as during surgery. The system uses Laser Ramen Spectroscopy (LRS) or Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) to enhance a detection signal pursuant to a spectroscopy analysis of tissue. Rapid in situ detection of cancer can be combined with immediate laser thermal ablation of the cancerous tissue. The detection and ablation can occur before, during, or after surgical resection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignee: City of Hope
    Inventors: Yuman Fong, Michael Storrie-Lombardi, Veronica Jones, Daniel Schmolze, Lily L. Lai, Ragini Kothari
  • REMOTE REHABILITATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210345962
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a remote rehabilitation system. The system includes at least one garment configured to be worn by a user, a plurality of sensors coupled to the at least one garment, and the plurality of sensors arranged to measure a range of motion of the user, and a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and configured to receive data from the plurality of sensors. The controller is configured to measure the range of motion of the user wearing the at least one garment based on the data received from the plurality of sensors. Additionally, the controller is configured to determine whether the range of motion satisfies a threshold.
