  • Patent number: 10335042
    Abstract: The present system is directed in various embodiments to methods, devices and systems for sensing, measuring and evaluating compliance in a bodily conduit. In other embodiments, the methods, devices and systems sense, measure, determine, display and/or interpret compliance in a bodily conduit and/or a lesion within the bodily conduit. In all embodiments, the sensing, measuring, determining, displaying and/or interpreting may occur before, during and/or after a procedure performed within the bodily conduit. An exemplary conduit comprises a blood vessel and an exemplary procedure comprises a vascular procedure such as atherectomy, angioplasty, stent placement and/or biovascular scaffolding.

  • Publication number: 20180135122
    Abstract: A method for providing a tailored drug recommendation for a patient wherein a plurality of metabolizer genes for the patient may be identified from a DNA sample. The metabolizer genes may relate to the patient's ability to metabolize a drug and indicate a metabolizer gene phenotype for the patient. The method may additionally include comparing a drug to the metabolizer gene phenotype and, based on the comparison, assigning a classification to the drug. Moreover, the method may include providing a recommendation for the patient with respect to the drug, the recommendation based at least in part on the assigned classification of the drug. In some embodiments, the method may further include identifying an event/response gene for the patient, the event/response gene related to the patient's compatibility with the drug and indicating an event/response gene phenotype for the patient; and comparing the drug to the event/response gene phenotype.

  • Publication number: 20160205544
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for providing a unified single-scan user interface for accessing and managing a remotely located device throughout its life cycle, including cellular network provisioning, cloud data provider registration, initialization and activation, as well as providing end users with easy access to the device and its data. The end user simply powers the device on and the device automatically connects with the communication network and the cloud data provider. The device comes to the end user already provisioned and paired and activated with the cloud data provider and the communication network provider. Further, the user account, or accounts, for the use of the device is both active and recorded for billing by the various service providers supporting the device use, i.e., the communication network provider(s).

  • Patent number: 8857705
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for providing a unified single-scan user interface for accessing and managing a remotely located device throughout its life cycle, including cellular network provisioning, cloud data provider registration, initialization and activation, as well as providing end users with easy access to the device and its data. The end user simply powers the device on and the device automatically connects with the communication network and the cloud data provider. The device comes to the end user already provisioned and paired and activated with the cloud data provider and the communication network provider. Device-specific data is, at manufacture, encoded onto machine-readable labels and complied in a table within a remote database. The present invention thus allows identification and provisioning of individual devices using a mobile device such as a smartphone or the like.
