An apparatus includes a food product, at least one ingestible device associated with the food product to communicate information and at least one coating material surrounding the at least one ingestible device is disclosed. The ingestible device is associated with an ingestible medication to be ingested in conjunction with the food product. The coating is configured to release the at least one ingestible device upon the occurrence of an event.

Masticable ingestible product and communication system therefor

A health management system () comprises educational content sessions (, . . . ) each being directed toward achieving a health management goal. A user interface () is configured for presenting the content sessions (, . . . ). At least one feedback path () provides at least one input which includes an item of interest. A content flow engine () configured to automatically select the content sessions () based on the at least item of interest and on content flow rules and initiate presentation of the selected content sessions via the user interface ().

Reflexive education: a method for automated delivery of educational material linked to objective or subjective data

Methods, devices and systems for acquiring information useful to support a patient in implementing and adhering to a medically prescribed therapy plan are provided. The therapy may incorporate biofeedback methods and/or personalized therapy aspects. A method includes steps of receiving, by a receiving device, biometric information associated with an ingestible event marker; analyzing, by a computing device having a microprocessor configured to perform a biometric information analysis, the biometric information; and determining a therapeutic recommendation at least partly on the basis of the analysis and/or integrating biofeedback techniques into patient therapy or activity. A system includes a biometric information module to receive biometric information associated with an ingestible event marker; an analysis module to analyze the biometric information; and a determination module to optionally determine and communicate a therapeutic recommendation at least partly on the basis of the analysis.

Ingestion-related biofeedback and personalized medical therapy method and system

Receivers, which may be external or implantable, are provided. Aspects of receivers of the invention include the presence of one or more of: a high power-low power module; an intermediary module; a power supply module configured to activate and deactivate one or more power supplies to a high power processing block; a serial peripheral interface bus connecting master and slave blocks; and a multi-purpose connector. Receivers of the invention may be configured to receive a conductively transmitted signal. Also provided are systems that include the receivers, as well as methods of using the same. Additionally systems and methods are disclosed for using a receiver for coordinating with dosage delivery systems.

Body-associated receiver and method

Apparatus and methods enable robust, reliable control for implantable medical devices, including cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization devices. Integrated circuits in the devices have minimized interfaces, can derive power from the interface signals, and have high voltage and latch-up protection. A device lead has a power generation circuit and a switching circuit using cascaded PMOS transistors for operating with a stable voltage despite fluctuations in the supplied voltage. The lead has control electronics that provide a very low impedance between an electrode and a lead conductor during most of the duration of a pacing pulse, but during a brief initial portion of the pacing pulse, provide a very high impedance to permit charging up a power supply that is local to the control electronics. A method of stabilizing the external impedance and a system for fault detection and fault recovery for an implantable device are also provided.

Integrated circuit implementation and fault control system, device, and method

An apparatus for reporting a patient's health parameter to a remote data management center. The apparatus has measurement units and a home hub. A measurement unit includes a sensor for sensing measurements of a health parameter and a transmitter for transmitting wirelessly data derived from the measurements. The home hub receives the wireless transmission of measurement data, processes the measurement unit data for effecient transfer, and transmits selectively data processed by thereby via public a data transmission network to a health data management unit.

Home hub for reporting patient health parameters

This disclosure provides a handheld writing device and a related data entry system. In particular, a digital electronic clipboard is used to mount pages or forms utilized in forms processing applications, such as inventory tracking. A stylus having a writing tip at one end of the stylus and a bar code scanning mechanism at another end of the stylus is used to enter data on the pages or forms and scan bar codes appearing on the pages or forms themselves, or on a separate item to be associated with the form. The system detects whether bar code data or stylus position data is being generated and causes its CPU to responsively process entered data. In an alternative embodiment, the system also permits generation of only one of stylus position data and bar code data at any given time. By providing a bar code scanner in the same implement as the stylus, the system permits a user to scan bar codes without having to replace the stylus or obtain a scanning implement; furthermore, scanning of a bar code on a preprinted form inherently provides a stream of stylus data with information to exactly reproduce a hardcopy form completed by the user, e.g., by combining an image of the preprinted form with entered stylus data.

Handheld writing device and related data entry system

An aiming device (or method) which monitors rotational and angular displacement changes with high precision. The detected changes in rotation and/or angular displacement are then used in various operations depending on the implementation. The invention is useful for many different implementations, including a pointing device, a remote control device, and a shooting practice system. Regardless of implementation, the invention utilizes one or more emitters which emit modulated energy signals, and a detector which detects the emitted energy signals. The detected energy signals are processed by a processing unit to determine a point of aim (angular displacement) and a rotation of a detector with respect to the one or more emitters. As a remote control device, the invention enables a user to invoke actions by pointing and rotation of the remote control device. As a shooting practice system, the invention predicts shot placement on a target with high accuracy, while supporting both 'live' fire and 'dry' fire.

Aiming device using radiated energy

A method and an apparatus to electronically identify a page. Each page has a surface conductive trace that is coupled to an electronic circuit to measure the conductivity of the trace. The primary purpose of the conductive trace is to provide an identification for the page.
