摘要:
An apparatus for verifying compliance with a dental appliance therapy for a human patient uses the periodical measurements of time-varying temperature and/or spatial oreintation of a dental appliance worn by the human patient. Compliance with the dental appliance therapy is determined by performing a spectral analysis of the measured parameter.

Apparatus, which consists of a plurality of modules. Each of the modules has: an insulating frame, a pair of electrodes fixed to the frame at respective locations that are spaced apart, and circuitry configured to receive signals from the pair of electrodes and in response output a differential signal. The apparatus further consists of an insertion tube having distal and proximal ends and containing the plurality of modules in locations spaced longitudinally in proximity to the distal end. There is cabling running through the tube that is connected to convey differential signals from the modules to the proximal end.

A method and medical monitoring device for determining the occurrence of a premature ventricular contraction that includes sensing a cardiac signal and determining R-waves in response to the sensed cardiac signal, determining RR intervals between the determined R-waves, determining whether a first interval criteria is satisfied in response to the determined intervals, determining a correlation between the determined R-waves, determining whether a first correlation criteria is satisfied in response to the determined correlation, and determining the premature ventricular contraction is occurring in response to the first interval criteria and the first correlation criteria being satisfied.
摘要:
Technologies for managing device functions of an ingestible computing device include determining whether adaptation of a device function of the ingestible computing device is required based on sensor data generated by the ingestible computing device. If device function adaption is determined to be required, the ingestible computing device determines a new device function to be performed, obtains program code modules to perform the new device function, and locally compiles the new program code modules to generate executable code. The ingestible computing device may execute the executable code to cause the ingestible computing device to begin performing the new device function. The ingestible computing device may obtain the program code modules from a local function database or via an authenticated wireless communication.
