Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method of locating a treatment site of a patient and treating a vascular disease, comprising inserting a wire into a vessel of the patient. In some examples, the wire has a distal end and a proximal end located opposite the distal end and is coupled to a control device at the proximal end. The method may comprise an at least one light- emitting diode (LED) disposed in a distal portion of the wire, the distal portion is adjacent the distal end. According to some examples, the method comprises illuminating, via the control device, the at least one LED within the vessel of the patient. The method may comprise locating, extracorporeally, the at least one LED. In some examples, the method includes positioning the wire via the at least one LED so that the distal end is located adjacent to the treatment site.

Abstract: A system, a method and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided. The method includes receiving a message from a gateway. The message includes an identification parameter associated with the gateway that received a ping from a beacon. The message also includes a beacon identifier of the beacon that transmitted the ping, the ping included the beacon identifier. The message further includes a derived signal strength parameter that indicates a proximity of the beacon to the gateway when the beacon transmitted the ping. The method also includes acquiring an outcome associated with medical-care that is provided by a medical provider to a patient. The method further includes identifying a cost associated with the medical-care provided by the medical provider based in part on the received message. The method additionally includes generating a value score that relates the identified cost of providing the medical-care to the patient, to the acquired outcome.

Abstract: A server, a method, and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided. The method includes receiving at least one message from a corresponding number of gateways, wherein each received message includes a first identification parameter associated with each gateway, and a second identification parameter associated with a beacon. The method also includes identifying locations of the beacon as the beacon moves throughout an environment. The method further includes deriving a time duration that the beacon is located in each of the identified locations. The method additionally includes determining a value associated with the beacon at each of the identified locations, the value is based on each location and the time duration that the beacon is located in each of the identified locations, each location is associated with a predetermined value.

Abstract: A gateway, a server, and a method are provided. The method includes receiving at least one message from a corresponding number of gateways, wherein each received message includes a first identification parameter associated with each gateway, and a second identification parameter associated with a beacon. The method also includes identifying a location the beacon is located, wherein the location is one location within an environment. The method further includes deriving a time duration that the beacon is located in the location. The method additionally includes determining a cost based on the time duration that the beacon is located in each location, wherein each location has a cost value associated with it.
