Patent number: 10595898Abstract: A device (100) for medical procedure localization and/or insertion that can be dimensionally adjusted for different patient sizes and properly aligned and stabilized using anatomical landmarks. The device (100) for medical procedure localization and/or insertion provides an adjustable template that indexes the site of interest at the intersection of a first axis or plane and a second axis or plane. An embodiment is disclosed in which a first axis is the axillary line through the patient's axilla (armpit) and iliac crest (pelvis), and a second axis is the patient's ideal horizontal nipple line. The intersection of the first and second axes is the 4th or 5th intercostal space, into which a needle and/or chest tube may be placed for decompression.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: InnoVital, LLCInventors: William Sanford Krimsky, Curt Steven Kothera, Amit Navin Shah, Gregory John Hiemenz

Publication number: 20200026401Abstract: A system can establish, handoff, and monitor the integrity of a remote network connection between a health care professional and a health care facility. The system can update treatment status indicators and treatment compliance indicators for the facility based on data received from a health care assessment of a patient at the facility conducted over the remote network connection. The system can calculate a care score based on the updated treated status indicators and calculate a facility score based on the care score and updated treatment compliance data. The system can determine patient care risk for the facility and predict treatment outcomes for patients based on the calculated facility score. The system can provide indicators of the patient care risk and predicted patient outcome to the facility via a user-interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: January 23, 2020Inventors: William Sanford Krimsky, Robyn Mi Jung Baek, Hai Viet Tran

Patent number: 10417383Abstract: A consult coordination center (CCC) computer may comprise a database and a processor. A scheduling module executed by the processor may schedule a patient assessment session for a facility, the patient assessment session comprising an assessment of at least one patient in the facility by a remote health care professional to determine whether the at least one patient should be given more immediate care. An assignment module executed by the processor may assign the scheduled patient assessment session to a health care professional computer. A connection module executed by the processor may create a remote connection between the health care professional computer and a computer at the facility via a network to facilitate the patient assessment session, the remote connection comprising a video feed from the computer at the facility to the health care professional computer.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: SPECIALISTS ON CALL, INC.Inventors: William Sanford Krimsky, Stephen Robert Selinger, Alexander Marc Nason, Carrie Christine Castellon

Publication number: 20180312183Abstract: A sheet transport device and method of formation are disclosed. The device may be used to carry and fully support a load, such as one or more sheets of drywall, plywood, or similar materials. The load is supported by a sheet channel coupled to a wheeled axle. One or more braces may be coupled to the sheet channel to form a substantially flat frame, which may or may not also include a handle. The combined weight of the load and the sheet transport device acting on a point of contact between the wheel and a support surface is opposed by an upward force on the wheel creates a torque, causing the handle and/or the frame to rotate against the load, stabilizing the load. A user can easily push and steer the device by grasping and stabilizing the load with one hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2018Publication date: November 1, 2018Inventor: William Sanford

Publication number: 20170128039Abstract: An endobronchial probe includes a deflector having a bore extending therethrough at an angle to its long axis for passage of a tool. The probe includes a location sensor and an ultra-sound imager. A push-pull anchoring system comprises a plurality of guides and wires that can extend beyond the guides and retract within the guides. When extended the wires diverge from the long axis sufficiently to engage a bronchus. The probe includes a balloon disposed on the distal segment contralateral to bore that when inflated urges the mouth of the bore into contact with the bronchial wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2017Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Jonathan Reuben Waldstreicher, William Sanford Krimsky, Yitzhack Schwartz, Avi Shalgi, Meir Bar-Tal, Matityahu Amit, Gal Hayam, Refael Itah, Robert D.

Publication number: 20160220772Abstract: A device to assist performing medical procedures that references anatomical landmarks through adjustable components to identify and stabilize a procedure site and provide guidance in performing the procedure. In one embodiment, an airway creation assist device (ACAD) can be dimensionally adjusted for different patient sizes and properly aligned using anatomical landmarks. The ACAD provides an adjustable template that enables accurate identification of the airway creation site, including but not limited to the cricothyroid membrane. The ACAD uses an insertion guide to guide the obturator and airway tube safely and consistently into the trachea, with a mechanical stop to prevent damaging the posterior trachea wall. The ACAD improves efficacy of the procedure, and makes perforating an incorrect airway creation procedure difficult. In another embodiment, a chest decompression assist device (DAD) Is disclosed for decompression treatment of air and/or fluid in the chest.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2014Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: William Sanford Krimsky, Curt Steven Kothera, Amit Navin Shah, Gregory John Hiemenz

Patent number: 7177447Abstract: A multi-stage infrared (IR) image-based tracking system is provided that accurately identifies and tracks targets across a variety of different situations and environmental conditions. The system includes primary and secondary trackers. The secondary tracker supports the primary tracker by identifying and tracking targets when the primary tracker loses or fails to identify one or more targets, and helps the primary tracker reacquire valid targets. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the primary tracker is a correlation-based tracker, and the secondary tracker is a feature-based tracker. A prescreener is also included, which operates concurrently with the correlation-based and feature-based trackers to generate a list of possible targets. The list can be used to provide a confidence level for the probable targets identified by each of the primary and secondary trackers.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2003Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Teresa Lorae Pace Olson, James Joseph Slaski, Carl William Sanford, Ruey-Yuan Han, Casey Leonard Contini, Robert Russell Reinig
