Patent number: 10818390Abstract: Introduced here are diabetes management platforms able to examine glucose measurements associated with a subject to discover patterns indicative of similar behaviors/circumstances. More specifically, a diabetes management platform can acquire multiple data series generated by a glucose monitoring device that monitors the blood glucose level of an individual over multiple time intervals. The diabetes management platform can then apply a similarity algorithm to produce a distance measure (also referred to as a “similarity measure”) for each data series. For example, the diabetes management platform may, for each data series, perform dynamic time warping to produce a distance measure with respect to each of the other data series. The diabetes management platform can identify patterns indicative of similar behaviors/circumstances based on these distance measures.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Ali Shoeb, William Jacob Benhardt Biesinger, Joshua Burkart

Patent number: 10624591Abstract: Introduced here are diabetes management platforms able to make annotations to physiological data of a subject whose glycemic health state is being monitored. These annotations can be used to classify excursions detected in the physiological data to facilitate the identification of a therapeutic behavior change intended to improve the glycemic health state of the subject. For example, a health coach may review the annotation(s) associated with the subject before generating a recommendation for improving the glycemic health state. As another example, the diabetes management platform can automatically identify an appropriate recommendation based on the annotation(s).Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: William Jacob Benhardt Biesinger, Joshua Burkart

Patent number: 10498694Abstract: Knowledge associated with an address of a first IP type may be mapped to an address of a second IP type. In response to receiving, at a first IP endpoint type, a request from a client associated with a first and second IP address type, a first address of the first IP type associated with the client is recorded. A unique identification of the request is generated. The unique identifier and instructions to make a second request to a second IP endpoint type are sent to the client. The second request, that includes the unique identifier and corresponds to the second IP address type associated with the client, is received at the second endpoint. Both the first address and the second address are determined as corresponding to the client by determining that the unique identifier was used in both requests. The first address is mapped to the second address.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Lee Reed Burton, Daniel E.

Publication number: 20190358372Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems, apparatuses, and methods for operating the systems and apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a negative pressure source, a connector port, at least one switch, and a controller. The negative pressure source is connected through the connector port to either (i) a wound dressing having a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound or (ii) a wound dressing without a canister between the connector port and the wound dressing. The controller determines, based on a signal received from the at least one switch, whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path and adjusts one or more operational parameters of negative pressure wound therapy based on the determination. The switch is activated by the connection of either the canister or canisterless wound dressing to the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2018Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Ben Alan Askem, Anthony Jonathan Bedford, Kevin Bendele, Ali Khishdoost Borazjani, Nicola Brandolini, Ian Charles Culverhouse, Otteh Edubio, James Maxwell Eelbeck, Matt Ekman, Matthew Keith Fordham, Philip Gowans, Michael James Hayers, Mark Richard Hesketh, James Daniel Homes, Allan Kenneth Frazer Grugeon Hunt, Mark Edward Jones, William Kelbie, Reece Knight, David Mcleod, Nisha Mistry, Samuel John Mortimer, Fatoona Mosa, Matthew Murphy, Michael Paton, Neil Harry Patrick, Louis della-Porta, Felix Clarence Quintanar, Lee Michael Rush, Carl Dean Saxby, Hannah Bailey Sidebottom, Daniel Lee Steward, Catherine Thaddeus, Simon Tyson, David Ronald Upton, William Jacob Ward, Nicholas Warrington
