Publication number: 20230302224Abstract: A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container includes a housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient, a medication port extending from the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically coupled to the fluid conduit, and at least one sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system. The housing can have a size and shape that enables it to be supported by a first hand of a user while the user administers the medication from the medication container via the medication port using a second hand of the user. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Stephen M. Prince, Walter J. Bochenko, Shawn W.

Publication number: 20190064545Abstract: A vision correction system includes a display device in wireless communication with a vision correction device VCD. The VCD includes an electrically activated optical device (EAOD) for human vision correction. The display device includes a sensor and a display surface. The display device and the VCD are configured to (1) store calibration information correlating a focal length of the EOAD to a distance (D) between a user's face and the display surface, (2) receive distance information from the sensor indicative of the distance D, (3) wirelessly transmit adjustment information from the display device to the VCD that is at least partly based upon the distance information, (4) convert the wirelessly transmitted adjustment information into control signals, and (5) apply control signals to the EOAD which in turn adjusts the focal length to focus the user's eye upon the display surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2017Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventor: WINTHROP De CHILDERS
