In some aspects, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed that has an application stored thereon that when executed by a processor of an electronic device causes the processor to perform a process. The process can include receiving motion data from a motion sensor, the motion data being indicative of motion by a user while wearing the motion sensor. The process can also include transmitting the motion data to a server, receiving from the server a time that the motion data indicates a foot of the user experienced a loading force which risked adversely impacting an existing foot ulcer or causing a new foot ulcer, determining a geographic location of the motion sensor at the time that the foot experienced the loading force, displaying the time and the geographic location, and requesting that the user identify an activity engaged in by the user at the time and the geographic location.

Communication and user interface control in user activity monitoring systems

Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for determining a positioning of sensors in a wound dressing are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wound monitoring and/or therapy system can include a wound dressing and a plurality of sensors configured to measure one or more wound characteristics. The wound monitor system can also include at least one positioning device configured to indicate position and/or orientation in the wound of a sensor of the plurality of sensors. In some embodiments, a detector can be configured to determine, based on the positioning data, the position and/or orientation in the wound of the sensor of the plurality of sensors. In some embodiments, the plurality of sensors can be positioned on a strip or string of material in communication with the positioning device.

Positioning of sensors for sensor enabled wound monitoring or therapy

In some embodiments, a wound monitoring and/or therapy apparatus includes a wound dressing configured to be positioned in contact with a wound, the wound dressing comprising one or more sensors configured to obtain measurement data of at least one of the wound or periwound. The apparatus can also include a controller configured to maintain a device clock indicative of a non-real time clock, receive measurement data obtained by the one or more sensors, and transmit measurement data to a remote computing device according to a security protocol, the security protocol comprising including the device clock associated with the measurement data in the transmission.

Sensor enabled wound therapy dressings and systems implementing cybersecurity

Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for determining an emplacement of sensors in a wound dressing are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wound dressing includes a plurality of sensors configured to measure wound or patient characteristics. One or more processors are configured to receive wound or patient characteristics data as well as emplacement data. The received data can be used to determine an emplacement of the plurality of sensors, the wound dressing, or a wound. The sensors can include a set of nanosensors. The wound dressing can include pH sensitive ink which can be utilized for determining a placement of the wound dressing and determining a pH associated with the wound. The wound dressing can be used in a negative pressure wound therapy system.

According to certain aspects, a negative pressure wound therapy system can include a negative pressure therapy apparatus configured to apply negative pressure to a wound of a patient. The negative pressure therapy device can include a wound dressing configured to be placed over the wound, a negative pressure source supported by the wound dressing, and a controller. The controller can include a processor configured to determine operating data of the negative pressure therapy apparatus and transmit the operating data. The negative pressure wound therapy system can further include a wireless communication device having a controller with one or more processors. The controller of the wireless communication device can be configured to be communicatively coupled to the negative pressure therapy apparatus and further configured to receive the operating data transmitted by the controller of the negative pressure therapy apparatus. The controller can be further configured to output the operating data.
