Oral irrigation device

A base assembly includes an imaging sensor having a sensor surface to receive a sample, and a platform connected to the base assembly. The base assembly includes (a) an aperture configured to receive a lid surface of a lid in a position to define an imaging space between the sensor surface and the lid surface and (b) a movement portion movable toward and away from the base assembly. The platform and the base assembly are configured to limit contact between the sample and the base assembly other than at the sensor surface.

Portable imaging device

Various embodiments of multielectrode radiofrequency (RF) ablation probes are described herein that disclose methods and apparatus for improved control and predictability of the size and shape of RF thermal electrocoagulations. The features of the invention include the ability to make irregularly shaped ablations in order to conform to irregularly shaped target tissue volumes, and to make very large ablations without the requirement for electrode cooling.

Method and apparatus for precisely controlling the size and shape of radiofrequency ablations

A method of associating a hygiene monitoring device to a station device, the hygiene monitoring device being configured to monitor a hygienic state of a user, the method comprising: the hygiene monitoring device obtaining, when in use, an station identifier from the station device; and the hygiene monitoring device storing the station identifier. A hygiene monitoring device for this method and a system comprising the hygiene monitoring device and the station device.

Hygiene monitoring systems and methods

This disclosure relates to a combination of a sensing device and a charging system. The sensing device is configured to be applied to a surface of an absorbent article for sensing a characteristic of moisture in the absorbent article, and it is configured such that a transmitter for transmitting data from the sensing device is attached or attachable to the sensing device. The charging system is configured to charge a transmitter battery, and it is configured such that a transmitter, which is attached or attachable to the sensing device, is also attachable to the charging device.

Sensing device and charging system

A hygiene monitoring system comprising: a hygiene monitoring device, the hygiene monitoring device comprising a housing with an identifier-obtaining component; and a station for receiving the hygiene monitoring device, the station comprising: a securing component configured to receive and hold the housing at a defined location relative to the station; and a station identifier configured to provide an identifier to the identifier-obtaining component when the housing of the hygiene monitoring device is received by the securing component of the station.

Hygiene monitoring system

A wearable monitoring device can include an electronics module containing a printed circuit board (PCB) to which one or more sensors are coupled. The one or more sensors can include one or more contacting sensors and/or one or more non-contacting sensors. In some cases, the wearable monitoring device can include an onboard power supply (e.g., a battery) and a wireless communication antenna. The PCB can be constructed to specifically include the one or more sensors on a first side facing the skin of the user when the wearable monitoring device is being worn, allowing one or more processors, memory, and other components to be included on the opposite side facing away from the user. Certain components, such as the power supply and wireless communication antenna, can be spaced apart from the PCB and located opposite the PCB from the one or more sensors.

Multi-sided PCB for contact sensing

A glucose monitoring system can make use of electrocardiograph (ECG) data and bioimpedance data acquired from a wearable device. The ECG data and bioimpedance data can each be processed to obtain a glucose level. These values can be processed together to obtain an adapted glucose value. In some cases, photoplethysmography data can also be used to assist in processing of the ECG data. The various types of data can be acquired from sensors on a wearable device. The wearable device can be removably coupled to a user's skin, such as via an adhesive substrate. In some cases, the wearable device can include a reusable electronics module that couples to replaceable electrodes on a replaceable adhesive substrate.

ECG and bioimpedance based glucose monitoring system

A system for acquiring electrocardiograph (ECG) and bioimpedance (BI) data is disclosed. The system (an ECG/BI measurement system) can use as few as one or two pairs of electrodes, permitting wearable devices employing the ECG/BI measurement system to be made into smaller, more comfortable, and more inconspicuous formats, as well as decreasing potential failure points in the measurement of electrical signals conducted between the system and the user. The system can measure both ECG and BI data using at least one shared pair of electrodes. In some cases, ECG and BI data are separately extracted from a measured signal across a shared pair of electrodes, while another pair of electrodes is being driven with a supply current. In other cases, internal switching can automatically switch a pair of electrodes between ECG-measuring circuitry and BI-measuring circuitry, such as based on a clock signal or other trigger.

Simultaneous monitoring of ECG and bioimpedance via shared electrodes

A multi-sensor auscultation device is disclosed that can be applied to or worn by a user to monitor multiple physiological systems of the user. The multi-sensor auscultation device can make use of two or more acoustic sensors, such as accelerometer contact microphones (ACMs), to collect acoustic data from multiple locations on the user's body. The multi-sensor auscultation device can include electrodes for detecting cardiac electrical activity and/or assessing the user's bioimpedance. The multi-sensor auscultation device can provide useful data associated with the user's cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and/or electrical characteristics. The multi-sensor auscultation device can be in the form of a reusable electronics module couplable to a disposable patch adhesive.

A system is disclosed for detecting moisture in an absorbent article worn by a wearer including an impedance sensing element and an attachment member for securing the impedance sensing element at a location on an exterior surface of the absorbent article. The impedance sensing element includes electrodes. The electrodes are positioned so as to be capacitively coupled to an interior region of the absorbent article and to measure an impedance of the absorbent article from the location on the exterior surface of the absorbent article. The system may also include an impedance measurement subsystem for measuring the impedance of the absorbent article, and extracting a real component of the impedance and an imaginary component of the impedance for determining a characteristic of the moisture in the absorbent article.
