Publication number: 20200253547Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided to assist with the monitoring or management of a patient's medical condition, which have one or more sensors sensing individual patient data on or near the patient. This individual patient data corresponds to at least one physiological parameter of the patient and includes a sensor that does not require the patient to apply it or activate it. The data is then transmitted to a processor for computing a risk or status signal that is based on comparison from a baseline related to a patient or related population and an alert or alarm can be generated based on the result of the signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Bronwyn Harris, Todd Murphy, Michael Carchia

Publication number: 20200253548Abstract: Presented are concepts for m classifying a disease or disability of a subject. One such concept comprises obtaining interaction data associated with a subject, the interaction data being representative of the subject's interaction with a movement-based input device. The interaction data is processed with a first machine learning process to determine a set of 5 characteristics for describing the subject. The set of characteristics is then processed with a second machine-learning process to generate a classification result for the subject. An instruction is provided to the subject for directing the subject to interact with the movement-based input device, wherein the instruction defines a challenge comprising a time-varying parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Heiner DAERR, Arne EWALD

Publication number: 20200253549Abstract: A system and method of detecting a sobriety of a subject utilizing a mobile device. The mobile device includes a processor and a memory storing historical data including movements indicating a drunk state, movements indicating a sober state, or a combination of both. The mobile device further includes a user interface, a recorder operable to capture a recording, and an accelerometer operable to generate acceleration values of movements of the recording. When the mobile device captures the recording of a subject performing movements, the processor compares the data on the memory with the acceleration values of the movements of the subject and produces an indication of either a drunk state of the subject or a sober state of the subject on the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Deeptaanshu Kumar, Ajmal Thanikkal, Prithvi Krishnamurthy, Pei Zhang, Xinlei Chen

Publication number: 20200253550Abstract: Disclosed herein is a non-invasive system for determining tissue composition. The system comprises an imaging system with a non-invasive probe, a signal analyzer, and a correlation processor. The probe includes active imaging components for emitting energy and collecting imaging data including reflected signals from an object of interest. The signal analyzer analyzes the imaging data and determines one or more signal properties from the reflected signals. The correlation processor then associates the one or more signal properties to pre-determined tissue signal properties of different tissue components through a pattern recognition technique wherein the pre-determined tissue signal properties are embodied in a database, and identifies a tissue component of the object based on the pattern recognition technique.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventor: Anuja NAIR

Publication number: 20200253552Abstract: A wearable cognitive function evaluation assisting device includes a wearable garment, a near infrared (NIR) light source, an image capturing unit, a storage unit, a projection unit, a sound-recording unit, a processing unit, a transceiver, a control unit, and a power supply unit. The image capturing unit can be selectively extracted from the wearable garment for capturing a continuous image of an oxygenated heme (HbO2) where the NIR light source is irradiated. The projection unit can be selectively extracted from the wearable garment for projecting one of the cognitive environment images stored in the storage unit. The processing unit converts the question and answer recorded by sound-recording unit into a question and answer audio signal. The transceiver receives the continuous image of HbO2 and the question and answer audio signal and then transmits them out.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2020Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventor: Han-Wei Zhang

Publication number: 20200253554Abstract: Non-invasive tracking methods and devices are provided that are configured to track at least one selectable internal element within a patient, such as a vertebra, relative to an external point outside of the patient's body, such as a reference point within an operating room. For example, in one embodiment, a patch is provided and is configured to be removably attached to skin of a patient, and to track a distance relative to the patch of at least one selectable element within a patient. The patch can also be configured to be tracked by an external monitoring system that tracks its orientation and location relative to the monitoring system, thereby indicating a position of a vertebra.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventors: Steffen Schumann, Marc Puls
