  • Publication number: 20250316354
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to annotating a patient electronic health record. An example method includes detecting an annotation trigger based on user input. In response to detecting the annotation trigger, the method can include obtaining a first audio data segment containing speech uttered by a user. The example method can further includes determining that the first audio data segment containing speech includes at least one marker word that is associated with at least one marker event in a pre-defined set of marker events. The example method can include determining a marker time at which the annotation trigger was detected, or at which the first audio data segment containing speech was uttered, and annotating the patient electronic health record with the marker event at a time point representing the marker time. The method can also include adding the annotated patient electronic health record to a master medical record.

  • Publication number: 20250213871
    Abstract: A portable medical device is disclosed. The portable medical device may comprise a display, a defibrillator port, a battery unit, and a processor. The processor may be configured to determine a cycle count of the battery unit, wherein the cycle count represents a number of times the battery unit has been charged and determine whether the cycle count satisfies a cycle count threshold. The processor may also be configured to, in response to determining that the cycle count satisfies the cycle count threshold, cause one or more graphical elements to be displayed on the display.

  • Publication number: 20190349652
    Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods include electronic devices attached to a patient or object that transmit data to other devices over a secure communication channel. The devices can track and/or monitor object(s) and/or patient(s) and transmit the tracked and/or monitored data to other electronic devices. Such data can include monitored patient physiological parameter(s) received and/or sensed by the device, for example. A master of the two devices transmits a communication signal to another device that, in response, initiates a secure wireless communication channel, causes one or more modules on the device to be powered, and, when powered, transmits the tracked and/or sensed physiological data over the secure wireless communication channel to the master device. Some example master devices transmit the communication signal with an instruction to the device to activate an onboard power source that later may be disconnected after the tracked and/or physiological data is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 10108782
    Abstract: A pneumatic coupler having a pneumatic control device and a coupler detection module. The coupler detection module coupled to the pneumatic control device. The pneumatic coupler also having a signal bearing medium that is communicatively coupled to the coupler detection module and to a pneumatic device coupled to the pneumatic coupler. The signal bearing medium storing one or more of an identification of the pneumatic coupler and instructions for the pneumatic device.
