  • Patent number: 11925782
    Abstract: A method for rotatable selection of sites for cannulation of a subcutaneous vascular access vessel comprises the step of providing a template defining an opening for a plurality of zones, each of the plurality of zones configured for receiving a plurality of simultaneous cannulations accessing the vascular access vessel. The outer surface of the template is marked, the marking defining each of the plurality of zones for use as cannulation sites along the vascular access vessel. The template is positioned on the skin of the patient adjacent the subcutaneous vascular access vessel such that the opening aligns with the vascular access vessel, and the marking is used for selecting a first zone for a cannulation site into the vascular access vessel such that the cannulation site in the first zone is spaced from and not adjacent to a second zone used for cannulation immediately previously to the first zone.

  • Patent number: 10431006
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method for providing a multisensory augmented reality environment is disclosed. The method includes receiving a real-time video stream of a physical environment, receiving depth information of one or more objects within the physical environment, generating real-time content depicting the physical environment based on the real-time video stream and the depth information, rendering augmented content, wherein the augmented content integrates original content and the real-time content, generating sensory feedback instructions to provide sensory feedback based on the augmented content, wherein the sensory feedback instructions are dynamically adjusted to changes in the augmented content, transmitting the augmented content for display and instructions to provide sensory feedback correlated to the augmented content.
