Abstract: Disclosed is a computer system for alerting emergency services. The system comprises a monitoring device, a at least one physical symptom device, a transmitter, a processor, and memory. The memory stores a predetermined baseline for one or more vital signs of a patient, a physical symptom baseline, each physical symptom baseline corresponding to a device of the physical symptom device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer system for alerting emergency services. The system comprises a monitoring device, a physical symptom device, a transmitter, a processor, and memory. The memory stores a predetermined baseline for one or more vital signs of a patient, a physical symptom baseline, each physical symptom baseline corresponding to a device of the physical symptom device. The memory stores instructions that cause the monitoring device to measure vital signs of the patient, compare the vital sign(s) to the respective predetermined baseline for the one or more vital signs, and if the measured vital sign(s) exceed the predetermined baseline, detect one or more physical symptoms corresponding to the physical symptom baseline. The instructions cause the processor to compare the one or more physical symptoms to the respective physical symptom baseline, and initiate contact of emergency services using the transmitter, if at least one of physical symptoms deviates from the respective physical symptom.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an article comprising at least one substrate and at least one porous coating formed on the at least one substrate. The substrate may be a medical device, for example a Nitinol stent. The porous coating may comprise a nanotubular coating. The nanotubular coating may comprise a compound of nickel, titanium and oxygen. This porous coating may improve re-endothelialization and/or reduce restenosis when it is used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
