Abstract: A system is provided that can provide a virtual assistant that can receive inputs from a user and can provide responses to the user. The system can perform natural language processing on the inputs to process the inputs into inputs that are comprehendible by the virtual assistant. Additionally, the system can determine the live agent that can be best suited to assist the user based on the processed inputs. The system can connect the user and the live agent. The virtual assistant can facilitate the connection by providing information to the user and to the live agent.

Abstract: In some examples, a tissue compression device configured to apply pressure at the snuffbox includes a flexible backing adjustably mechanically connected to a base, and an expandable member mechanically connected to the flexible backing. The base includes a major surface configured to engage a palmar surface of a hand of a patient, for example, to position the hand of the patient in a predetermined configuration, and a plurality of base attachment structures extending from the major surface. The flexible backing is adjustably mechanically connected to the base via the plurality of base attachment structures. The expandable member is configured to be positioned over the snuffbox of the hand of the patient and apply pressure to tissue at the snuffbox when the palmar surface of the hand is engaged with the major surface of the base.
