Abstract: Systems and techniques may be used for providing artificial intelligence regarding orthopedic patients. A technique may include using sensor data generated over a period of time by a patient an input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model may be trained based on labeled sensor data and labeled outcome data. The machine learning model may generate a predicted outcome for the patient. The technique may include output at least one medical intervention recommendation based on the predicted outcome.

Abstract: A method of operating a circulation facilitating assembly having a thermal treatment assembly having the steps of: providing pump assembly; placing a bladder of a first leg assembly in fluid communication with the pump assembly; placing a bladder of a second leg assembly in fluid communication with the pump assembly; placing a bladder of a thermal treatment assembly in fluid communication with the pump assembly, the thermal treatment assembly further comprising a thermal pad which is one of heated or cooled so that it is at a temperature other than ambient temperature; sequentially cycling at least one or both of the first leg assembly and second leg assembly, and, the thermal treatment assembly to complete a single cycle, comprising the steps of by: inflating the respective bladder to a predetermined pressure, holding the predetermined pressure for a predetermined period of time; and deflating the respective bladder.

Abstract: A circulation facilitating apparatus comprising a pneumatic assembly and first and second leg assemblies. The pneumatic assembly comprises a pump assembly, a control assembly, an air controller assembly and an energizing assembly. The control assembly controls the pump assembly. The control assembly includes a microprocessor and a system for programming the microprocessor. The programming system programs at least a cycle time and at least a hold time. The air controller assembly is coupled to the pump assembly. Each leg assembly includes a bladder, an air passage assembly, a housing, and pulse and/or temperature sensors. A treatment method is likewise disclosed.
