  • Publication number: 20210113142
    Abstract: A medical diagnostic device (100) in different embodiments uses a headband (204) and a beanie cap (304) configured to be affixed about the head of a subject for conducting measurements for diagnosing whether the subject is at risk of a concussion. A transducer (302) determines magnitude of impact on the head of the subject provides deceleration information associated with magnitude of the force via a pressure waveform. An accelerometer (402) in connectivity with a gyroscope (602) provide directional and angular information to determine probability of risk of a concussion. Bluetooth (404 or WiFi (406) connectivity enable different transmission modes of output signals from device (100) to device capable of performing the calculated metrics and providing a digital putout.

  • Patent number: 10226186
    Abstract: A method for measuring reactive hyperemia in a subject is disclosed. The method includes performing a first segmental cuff plethysmography to generate a baseline arterial compliance curve and/or a baseline pressure-area (P-A) curve, performing a second segmental cuff plethysmography to generate a hyperemic arterial compliance curve and/or a hyperemic P-A curve, and calculating an area between the baseline and the hyperemic curves. The size of the area can be used as an indication of endothelial dysfunction (ED) and ED-related diseases.
