Publication number: 20200163611Abstract: A method for detecting allergic reaction and alerting a guardian device includes registering a wearable device to associate the wearable device with the guardian device. The wearable device then monitors vital signs to determine whether the vital signs are within an acceptable range. Based on the vital signs being outside the acceptable range, the wearable device sends an alert to the guardian device and determines whether a confirmation signal is received from the guardian device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2020Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventor: Sriram Ganesan

Publication number: 20200163613Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for measuring the musculature of animal. In some embodiments, the musculature of the animal is measured using by generating traces of the animal using a flexicurve ruler and comparing the traces to a reference and/or previous traces of the animal. The methods can be used to improve an animal's musculature by evaluating the muscle development of the animal and changing the animal's diet or exercise regime based on the results of the evaluation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2018Publication date: May 28, 2020Applicant: CAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Abby KEEGAN

Publication number: 20200163615Abstract: A system and method for training program generation and modification of that program based on assessed functional state and/or workload performance. User-interface logic preferably operating on a mobile device permits a user to record bio-signals indicative of functional state. Assessment-adjustment logic, that may be located at a distance, conducts body system assessments from the received bio-signal data and produces training session targets based on the current functional state of the user. User training objective data may be input through the user-interface logic. Workload performance may be monitored and the training session targets modified based on measured past performance to improve future performance. Various embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Valeriy Nasedkin, Leorid Vasilyevich Masakov

Publication number: 20200163616Abstract: Monitoring devices, systems including the same, and methods of monitoring subject compliance are described herein. A method to monitor compliance with a pharmaceutical treatment regimen includes obtaining, via an autosampler of a wearable medical device, a biological sample, the wearable medical device including the autosampler in fluid communication with the analyte detector. The method further includes determining a concentration of an analyte in the biological sample, which correlates with a probability that the subject received a bolus of the pharmaceutical within a period of time prior to obtaining the biological sample. The method further includes determining whether the concentration of the analyte suggests that the subject received the bolus of the pharmaceutical within the period of time and electronically transmitting a message indicating that the concentration suggests that the subject either received or did not receive the bolus of the pharmaceutical within the period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventor: Jacqueline Mbwille Sakaya

Publication number: 20200163618Abstract: Biomarkers are collected and used to determine biological propensities of a patient, to determine the efficacy of medical devices, to select and administer therapeutic agents, to select medical devices, to make adjustments to medical devices, and/or to adjust surgical techniques. An apparatus includes a port to draw a biological fluid (e.g., a mist) from a surgical site. The apparatus includes a sensor having a cantilevered beam. The beam includes substances selected to attract certain biomarkers as the fluid is communicated across the beam. The same apparatus or another apparatus is used to administer a therapeutic agent based at least in part on collected biomarker data. The therapeutic agent delivery apparatus may include a device that is also used to create a wound at a surgical site. For instance, a harmonic surgical instrument may be used to both collect biomarkers and administer a therapeutic agent (e.g., gene therapy using sonoporation).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Jeffrey W.
