  • Publication number: 20240130647
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include an analyte monitoring system including an application executing on a mobile device and an analyte monitoring system server. The application is configured to detect that a communication channel between the application and the analyte monitoring system server is non-responsive and taking actions in response or recommending options to correct the non-responsive communication channel. Techniques include receiving a notification from the analyte monitoring system server via a notification service server. In response to receiving the notification, output of a first connectivity alert is canceled. Also in response to receiving the notification, output of a second connectivity alert is scheduled to be output at expiration of a timer unless the mobile device receives a second notification from the analyte monitoring system server.

  • Patent number: 11963920
    Abstract: A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20240099594
    Abstract: A method of generating a blood pressure estimation for a subject includes receiving real-time PPG data from a PPG sensor attached to the subject, and generating a blood pressure estimation for the subject via an adaptive predictive model using the real time PPG data. The method includes receiving a real-time measurement of blood pressure via a blood pressure monitoring device attached to the subject and, in response to receiving the real-time measurement of blood pressure, updating one or more parameters of the model in real-time to improve blood pressure estimation accuracy of the model. The method may also include detecting whether the generated blood pressure estimation is above or below a threshold and, in response to determining that the generated biometric estimation is above or below the threshold, receiving a real-time measurement of blood pressure and then updating the parameters of the model to improve blood pressure estimation accuracy of the model.
