Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (e.g., systems, devices, etc.) for close proximity monitoring of subjects, including in particular at-risk psychiatric subjects.

Abstract: Various apparatuses for a tamper-resistant wearable band are disclosed. In some examples, a tamper-resistant wearable band may include a flexible strap and a. tamper-resistant clasp. The clasp may irreversibly anchor the ends of the flexible strap.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for monitoring and verifying the performance of one or more patient health care protocols may identify appropriate patient protocols, organize patient protocols across multiple patients for specific caregivers and/or hospital units, display and/or order patient protocols, and/or track compliance with the patient protocols. Protocols may be determined from patient healthcare records and delivered to healthcare staff. The healthcare staff can perform or execute the patient care protocols and the apparatus or method may automatically and non-obtrusively collect evidence that the care protocol has been performed. The patient's healthcare records can be updated to include care protocol verification information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for monitoring a patient in a healthcare setting may include one or more radar transducers to monitor a monitoring region to detect and prevent patient assaults and self-harm. The radar transducers, which may include millimeter wave, lidar, and ultrasonic transducers, can determine and track patient's location and determine patient welfare. Also described herein are systems configured to interpret patient movement.

Abstract: An electronic patient monitoring system and method of operation that includes one or more generally non-metal, tamper-resistant patient identification and monitoring devices, an observer transmitter/receiver device configured to receive and detect one or more beacon signals that exceed a predetermined threshold from at least one of the not easily removable patient identification and monitoring devices, set a time to hold open a window for a response on the transmitter/receiver device, and send a request for information to the observer with the transmitter/receiver device, and a central computer system. Each of the transmitter/receiver device and the central computer system, including, at least, a computer processor, communications components and system software to communicate with the observer transmitter/receiver device at specified/predetermined time intervals to receive observer-and patient-specific information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (e.g., tracking system, tracking devices, etc.) for tracking a subject to prevent elopement. The methods and apparatuses described herein may be used to prevent elopement from health care environments. The methods and apparatuses may be specifically configured to provide energy and cost efficient mechanisms to prevent elopement and to track subjects. For example, these methods and apparatuses may monitor, using a wearable tracking device, low-energy sensor data and determining whether the sensor data exceeds a threshold. If the sensor data exceeds a threshold, then the tracking device can turn on scanning for a wireless signals associated with a known location, and/or activate a location-determining subsystem of the tracking device and transmit location information and/or an alert to a remote processor.

Abstract: Methods and systems for close proximity monitoring of subjects, including in particular at-risk psychiatric subjects, where subjects have a tamper-resistant wearable device that signals an observer device, an observer records an observation of the subject, and the observer device emits an alert when the observer fails to record an observation during a predetermined time period.

Abstract: Computerized data management systems and methods for inter-relating, indexing, and organizing data records stored in a database or as computer files are described. The systems and methods can be used for linking or associating data records relating to real estate parcels. A given parcel in a community of parcels may have many neighbors. The systems and methods can identify a reduced set of neighbors of the parcel that have addresses that bracket the address of the parcel.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed that attempt to verify data related to a parcel against mapping and addressing data. If the data cannot be verified, then an enhanced normalization process may be performed. The enhanced normalization process may attempt to group the parcel with some other parcels based on parcel characteristics. If the grouping is successful, then normalization may be performed on the grouping. Normalization may involve checking whether the grouping satisfies a set of grouping criteria.

Abstract: Resonant sensors, preferably having floating bilayer symmetry, and their methods of use is determining the presence, amount or binding kinetics of an analyte of interest in a test sample are disclosed. The test sample may be a liquid or gas.

Abstract: Extremely minute amounts of live pathogens are rapidly detected using a piezoelectric cantilever sensor. A single pathogen is detectable in about 30 minutes. Pathogen-specific antibodies are immobilized on the sensor surface. The sensor is exposed to a medium that potentially contains the target pathogen. When target pathogens are contained in the medium, both dead and live pathogen cells bind to the immobilized antibody on the sensor surface. The attached target pathogen cells are exposed to a pathogen discriminator capable of discriminating between live cells and dead cells by increasing the mass of live cells. Example pathogens include Escherichia coli, Listeri monocytogene, and Salmonella enteritidis. Example antibodies include those that bind to the pathogenic bacteria designated as ATCC 43251, ATCC 700375, and ATCC 31194. Example pathogen discriminators include intracellular pH indicating molecules.

Abstract: A method for detection of airborne biological agent using a piezoelectric cantilever sensor that includes a piezoelectric layer and a non-piezoelectric layer. A recognition entity is placed on one or both of the two layers. The antibody that recognizes and binds to the airborne species may be chemically immobilized on the cantilever sensor surface. In one embodiment, the cantilever sensor is attached to a base at only one end. In another embodiment, the sensor includes first and second bases and at least one of the piezoelectric layer and the non-piezoelectric layer is affixed to each of the first and second bases to form a piezoelectric cantilever beam sensor. In this embodiment, resonance is measured via stress on the piezoelectric layer and it has been demonstrated that such sensors are robust and exhibit excellent sensing characteristics in gaseous media with sufficient sensitivity to detect airborne species at relatively low concentrations.
