摘要:
Embodiments disclosed herein involve a wearable-based system that can help determine in a privacy-preserving manner whether a user is healthy (and thus poses low risk of contagiousness), and use determinations of this nature to grant passage through a doorway. In one embodiment, a wearable device takes measurements of a user comprising a photoplethysmogram signal (PPG signal) and a temperature measurement. A computer calculates a health score based on a difference between baseline measurements of the user, measured one or more days earlier, and more current measurements of the user. Additionally, the computer calculates an extent of similarity between characteristics of the PPG signal in the current measurements and characteristics of the PPG signal in the baseline measurements. The computer authorizes the user's passage through the doorway responsive to the health score reaching a first threshold and the extent of the similarity reaching a second threshold.

Provided are wireless temperature sensors. A temperature sensor with a flexible, large-area printed thermistor can include an negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor for temperature sensing, a control circuitry for electrically connecting with the NTC thermistor and obtaining the temperature sensed by the NTC thermistor, a power source for providing power supply to the NTC thermistor and the control circuitry, and a frame element for supporting the NTC thermistor, the control circuitry and the power source, where the frame element is at least partially thermally insulated to establish thermal equilibrium within the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can sense the temperature in a fast and accurate way due to fast thermal equilibrium established within the sensor.

A wearable thermometer patch includes a flexible circuit substrate comprising an electric circuit and an opening, a thermally conductive cup having a bottom portion plugged into the opening and fixed to the flexible circuit substrate, and a temperature sensor inside the thermally conductive cup. The temperature sensor is in thermal conduction with the thermally conductive cup. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the electric circuit in the flexible circuit substrate.

A method for detecting a stenosis in a prosthesis includes providing a tubular prosthesis having a sensor coupled to the prosthesis and implanting the tubular prosthesis in a native fluid conduit. The sensor senses the stenosis and captures data that characterizes the stenosis. A spectral analysis of the data may then be performed in order to provide a frequency spectrum of the data. The frequency spectrum may be examined in order to identify a break frequency value in the frequency spectrum. The break frequency may then be translated into a percentage of stenosis in the tubular prosthesis.
摘要:
A method of monitoring a patient's foot forms a thermogram of the sole of at least one foot of the patient, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. The method also compares the thermogram against a prior thermogram of the same foot, and produces output information indicating the emergence of an ulcer on a given portion on the at least one foot as a function of 1) whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one pattern, and 2) the comparison with the prior thermogram, which shows non-ulcerated tissue at the given location.
摘要:
A method of monitoring at least one foot of a patient provides an open platform for receiving at least one foot. The open platform has at least one temperature sensor for generating a plurality of temperature data values after receipt of the at least one foot. The method also forms a thermogram of the sole of the at least one foot from the temperature data values, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. Finally, the method produces output information indicating the risk of an ulcer emerging on the foot as a function of whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one prescribed pattern.
