Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for detecting the proximity of a needle to an ultrasound probe. The system can include an ultrasound system having a probe, including a body and a magnetic sensor, the magnetic sensor capable of detecting a magnetic field generated by or associated with the needle. The system can also include logic stored on non- transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by one or more processors, causes performance of operations which can include: receiving an indication that the magnetic field has been detected including a strength of the magnetic field, determining a distance between a distal tip of the needle and the probe based on the strength of the magnetic field, and in response to the distance being within a first threshold, generating a first alert. The ultrasound system can further include a console apparatus communicatively coupled to the probe that includes the non-transitory computer-readable medium.

Abstract: We describe an imaging device for measuring a profile of an object. The device includes a plurality of moveable parts, where each moveable part has a first end to contact an object and a second end comprising fluorescent or phosphorescent material. The device further includes an enclosure to hold the moveable parts such that the moveable parts can move parallel to each other within the enclosure to vary their respective positions according to a profile of the contacted object. The device further comprises a light source to stimulate light emission from the material and a camera configured to obtain an image of the second ends of the moveable parts based on the light emission.

Abstract: Fault detection and diagnostics for a microneedle array based continuous analyte monitoring device are provided. The electrochemical sensors, including the electrodes of the analyte monitoring device configured for measuring one or more target analytes, may experience various faults during use of the analyte monitoring device. By modeling the sensors as an electrical network, measurements of the electrical network may be correlated with operational parameters of the sensor. The voltage at the counter electrode provides an indication of the resistance or impedance between the working electrode and the counter electrode and is used to identify the occurrence of faults occurring at the continuous analyte monitoring device.
