International Classification:

A61B 5/04
A61B 5/0428

US Classification:

600393, 600382, 600509

Abstract:

Various systems and methods are provided for monitoring patient physiological data without the need for adhesives or wires to be connected to a patient. The system is also fully functional without the need for manipulation or intervention by a care provider or medical personnel. In particular, the system can include a pad having a plurality of electrical contacts or electrodes formed thereon in a predetermined pattern. The electrodes can be configured to sense electrical signals produced by a patient's body. A controller in communication with the electrodes can be configured to select and process signals from the electrodes and send the information derived from the electrical signals to an output device for displaying resulting physiological data so that the patient can be monitored.

International Classification:

G01B 7/30
G01R 33/07

US Classification:

3242072

Abstract:

Various devices and methods for locating an object using magnetic fields are provided. In one embodiment, a device is provided having a housing with an array of sensors that can measure a magnetic field of an object and calculate a three dimensional location of the object based upon the measured magnetic field. A display device for displaying the three dimensional location of the object can also be included. In one exemplary embodiment, an implantable device, such as an endotracheal tube, is provided having the object embedded therein. The array of sensors can be used to measure the magnetic field of the object. The device can then calculate the three dimensional location of the object and the display device can display the calculated location of the object embedded in the implantable device.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/04
A61N 1/32

Abstract:

Systems and methods for controlling a tissue of a subject using applied pulsed electric fields. The system includes an electrode assembly configured to engage a skin tissue of a subject to deliver a series of electric field pulses to the skin tissue and a user input configured to receive an operational instruction for the series of electric field pulses. The system also includes at least one processor configured to access the operational instruction received by the user input and, using the operational instruction, create an electric field profile to be generated by the electrode assembly about the skin tissue of the subject to control a fibroblast characteristic while preserving a vascular perfusion in at least a portion of the skin tissue. The processor is also caused to control the electrode assembly using the electric field profile to deliver the series of electric field pulses to control the fibroblast characteristic.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for controlling a tissue of a subject using applied pulsed electric fields. The system for controlling a therapy provided to a tissue of a subject using applied pulsed electric fields. The system includes an electrode assembly configured to engage a skin tissue of a subject to deliver a series of electric field pulses to the skin tissue and a user input configured to receive an operational instruction for the series of electric field pulses. The operational instruction defines at least one of a pulse duration, a pulse frequency, a pulse number, and a pulse amplitude. The system also includes at least one processor configured to access the operational instruction received by the user input and, using the operational instruction, create an electric field profile to be generated by the electrode assembly about the skin tissue of the subject to control a fibroblast characteristic while preserving a vascular perfusion in at least a portion of the skin tissue. The processor is also caused to control the electrode assembly using the electric field profile to deliver the series of electric field pulses to control the fibroblast characteristic.
