  • Publication number: 20240115169
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an auxiliary implantation device for a biosensor. The auxiliary implantation device for the biosensor includes an emitting tube assembly, a battery assembly, and an emitter assembly. The emitting tube assembly is configured to drive a slider to emit a sensor to a human body through an elastic force and pull back the slider through the elastic force to enable the slider to be rapidly separated from the sensor. The battery assembly is configured to secure the sensor and supply power to the whole device. The emitter assembly is assembled with the battery assembly and is electrically connected with the sensor. According to the present invention, the rapid implantation of the sensor and the automatic needle withdrawal may be realized, without an external force applied by a user.

  • Publication number: 20240115203
    Abstract: Improved wear time and anti-tampering for a sweat patch is achieved based on the adhesive used to secure the sweat patch to the subject. Two adhesives may be used with one securing regions immediately surrounding the collection pad to the subject's skin, while a second secures an outer ring of the sweat patch to the subject's skin. The second adhesive provides greater adhesion to the skin under common conditions, such as profuse sweating or immersion in water, thereby providing a longer wear time and greater analyte collection integrity as well as one anti-tampering feature. Other anti-tampering features may also be provided.

    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for detecting and/or determining occurrence of a neurological event in a subject. Data corresponding to one or more symptoms, detected by one or more sensors, associated with a subject is received. The sensors include sensors positioned directly on the subject and/or sensors positioned away from the subject. One or more symptom values are assigned to one or more detected symptoms. A severity score for each of the symptoms is determined. The severity scores are determined using one or more machine learning models receiving the assigned symptom values as input. A prediction that the subject is experiencing at least one neurological event and at least a type of the neurological event is generated using a combination of the determined severity scores corresponding to the symptoms. A generation of one or more alerts is triggered based on the prediction. One or more user interfaces are generated for displaying the alerts.
