    摘要: A system for noninvasively measuring blood alcohol concentration using light includes one or more emitters each configured to emit light in the near infrared or infrared light spectrum at one or more wavelengths that respond to varied chromophore concentrations of ethanol and water in blood of a human subject. One or more detectors is configured to detect light emitted at the one or more wavelengths and output a representation of a photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform for one or more of the one or more wavelengths. A processing subsystem is coupled to the one or more emitters and the one or more detectors. The processing subsystem is configured to determine a measure of an amplitude of the representation of the PPG waveform for each of the one or more wavelengths and determine the blood alcohol concentration by referencing the measured amplitude for each of the one or more wavelengths to a molar absorptivity plot which indicates a measure of the absorption or scattering at alcohol and water solutions ranging between a solution of 100% alcohol and a solution of 100% water.

    摘要: A system for cooling the brain of a human subject, includes a cooling subsystem which inputs a flow of air or breathable gas, cool the air or breathable gas, and outputs cooled air or breathable gas which is delivered to a human subject. A flow control device controls a flow rate of the flow of the air or breathable gas input to the cooling subsystem and a flow rate of the cooled air or breathable gas delivered to the human subject. One or more flow rate sensors measure at least a flow rate of flow of cooled air or breathable gas. One or more temperature sensors measure at least a temperature of a brain and the temperature of the flow of cooled air or breathable gas. A controller adjusts a cooling rate, the temperature, and the flow rate of flow of cooled air or breathable gas delivered to the human subject to cool the brain of the human subject.

    摘要: A system to electronically coordinate and document pattern care regardless of physical setting. The system includes a wearable subsystem attached to a patient at the point of injury and configured to remain attached to the patient at the point of injury and during one or more encounters with medical personnel or to a time the patient reaches a clinical health care facility. The wearable subsystem is configured to store patient identification information and critical health care information received via wireless communication from an end user computing device at the point of injury and is configured to store added health care information provided by medical personnel from or at the point of injury and during the one or more encounters with the medical personnel or to a time the patient reaches a clinical care facility.
