    Abstract: An imaging device for monitoring a skin feature includes a camera, at least one processor and memory. The imaging device displays a body area guide, receives a selection of a body area, initiates an image sequence of the body area, the image sequence including capturing, using the camera, a plurality of images, determines whether all body areas have been imaged, analyzes the images, and provides the analyzed images to a clinician. The imaging device can be part of a system including a server in communication with a monitor, where the clinician views the images on the monitor. Additionally, each skin feature can be ranked in order of risk and presented to the clinician in that order.

  • Publication number: 20200261020
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing compliance with position therapy. In an embodiment, position therapy is provided to a user while the user is wearing a position therapy device. The position therapy comprises, by the device, collecting positional data, determining positions of the user over a time period based on the positional data, and, when it is determined that the user is in a target position, providing feedback to the user to influence the user to change to a non-target position. In addition, the device stores a duration of use in its memory. The duration of use indicates a duration that the user has used the wearable position therapy device in each of one or more positions. An assessment of the user's compliance with the position therapy is then provided based, at least in part, on the duration of use.

  • Publication number: 20200261021
    Abstract: One embodiment includes a method for monitoring nerve tissue which includes inserting a dilator into muscle, the dilator including first and second electrodes at the distal tip. While the dilator is in muscle, a system may communicate (a) a first series of unequal current amplitude applications (e.g., a series including 0.5, 7, 3, 5 mA applications) to the first electrode to produce at least a first evoked potential (e.g., a MAP or NAP), and (b) a second series of unequal current amplitude applications to the second electrode to produce at least a second evoked potential. The method further includes sensing the first and second evoked potentials and determining a relative location of a nerve based on the sensing of at least one of the first and second evoked potentials.

  • Publication number: 20200261028
    Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a non-invasive solution to risk stratify the risk of in arrhythmia in patients with TOF. Currently, no reliable method for non-invasive risk stratification exists. In the realm of congenital heart disease, cardiac MRI is now used routinely for patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. An innovative platform for using clinical MRI data to create 3D electromechanical models of the heart enables predictions of whether or not patients with ischemic heart disease have the substrate for arrhythmia and what their relative risk for such an event is. An embodiment of the current invention provides a non-invasive solution to risk stratify the risk of arrhythmia in patients with TOF. Currently, no reliable method for non-invasive risk stratification exists.
