Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting atrial fibrillation of a subject, comprising a member comprising —mechanical connection means to wearably connect the member to a subject; —the member further comprising an optical sensor arranged to measure a signal representing a blood perfusion parameter of the subject; the member comprising the optical sensor and mechanical connection means at such relative positions that when the mechanical connection means connect the member to the subject, the optica! sensor operatively faces the subject. The device is arranged to detect atrial fibrillation of the subject based on the signal measured by the optical sensor.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are described for detecting stroke or seizure with a compact system. For example, a system includes a memory, a plurality of electrodes, and sensing circuitry configured to sense, via at least two electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, electrical signals from a patient, and generate, based on the electrical signals, physiological information. The system may also include processing circuitry configured to receive, from the sensing circuitry, the physiological information, determine, based on the physiological information, a seizure metric indicative of a seizure status of the patient and a stroke metric indicative of a stroke status of the patient, and store the seizure metric and the stroke metric in the memory. A housing may carry the plurality of electrodes and contain both of the sensing circuitry and the processing circuitry.

Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for stimulating a colon of a patient to relieve chronic constipation. Specifically, a colon stimulation system applies one or more electrical stimuli to the colon of the patient in order to induce peristaltic activity in the colon to relieve chronic constipation. In accordance with the invention, the colon stimulation system induces peristaltic activity in the colon by applying an electrical stimulus to the colon to cause a portion of the colon to contract to a contracted state and removing the electrical stimulus to cause the colon to relax. While in the contracted state, the colon is substantially fully contracted.
