A method and device for developing an automated digital cloning method to create an accurate, predictive and personalized virtual patient model enabling personalized precision mechanical ventilation care.

Method and apparatus to guide mechanical ventilation

A method and device for using insulin sensitivity values to estimate the distribution of future insulin sensitivity values for a given patient based on dimensional relationships between current, prior and delta insulin sensitivity values, and observed future insulin sensitivity values for similar patients or subjects, or based on an individual patient or subject's historical values.

Estimation of future insulin sensitivity distributions

A method for an optical elastography system converts digital images of an actuated breast into a description of surface motion. The surface motion can subsequently be used to ascertain whether the breast has regions of abnormal stiffness, e.g., indicating a significant likelihood of breast cancer. The steps of the method use a model based segmentation to identify profile of the breast in each image, and for each pair of images computing skin surface motion using an optical flow algorithm. This method eliminates a preliminary step of placing fiducial markers on the subject.

System for reconstructing surface motion in an optical elastography system

Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, etc. for providing a visual expression of the performance of one or more blood glucose sensors. In one particular example, a relative comparison of a rate of change sensor blood glucose and a rate of change in reference blood glucose may be expressed in a polar plot or graph. The polar plot or graph may then be generated onto a visual medium.

Polar plot to represent glucose sensor performance

A method for converting digital images of an actuated breast into an accurate description of breast surface motion from a digital image-based elasto-tomography system comprises the steps of artificially placing a high density of fiducial markers on the breast surface, whereby the fiducial markers have different qualities and are placed in different proportions according to their quality; utilizing motion invariant properties of the fiducial markers to form a global motion invariant signature; tracking the markers on the actuated breast surface from image to image in each digital camera using the global motion invariant signature; and using the cameras calibration to measure the breast surface motion.
