The present invention relates to a personal health monitoring system including an implantable sensor and a monitoring device. The present invention further relates to a multiple user health monitoring system including a plurality of such personal health monitoring systems. The present invention further relates to a method of monitoring the biological parameters of at least one user.

Personal health monitoring system, multiple user health monitoring system, and method

During charging of implantable devices via inductive coupling, heat may be produced within the implantable device, so control of the charging may be desirable to reduce or avoid the risk of undesirable tissue heating. Exchanging parameters relevant for charging may prevent undesirable heating, but typically increase the complexity of the devices used. An implantable device is provided, for wirelessly receiving energy pulses, monitoring the energy storage, and transmitting a first sufficient energy signal if the energy storage exceeds a first maximum value. An associated energy transmission device is provided, for wirelessly transmitting a plurality of successive energy pulses transmitted at a first power level, pausing energy transmission immediately after the first sufficient energy signal is received, and subsequently resuming energy pulse transmission at the first power level if no further sufficient energy signal is received.

Efficiency in wireless energy control for an implantable device

This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for adjusting an anatomical atlas to patient anatomy. In one example, a system may include processing circuitry configured to generate, for display at a user interface, a representation of an anatomical region of a patient, generate, for display at the user interface, a representation of one or more atlas-defined anatomical structures at a first position over the representation of the anatomical region of the patient, receive a user annotation that defines an adjustment to at least one atlas-defined anatomical structure relative to the representation of the anatomical region of the patient, and adjust, based on the adjustment, the first position of the representation of the one or more atlas-defined anatomical structures to a second position of the representation of the one or more atlas-defined anatomical structures over the representation of the anatomical region of the patient.

Interactive placement of anatomical atlas structures in patient images

The present invention relates to a system () for planning and/or providing a therapy for neural applications, especially a neurostimulation and/or neurorecording applications, comprising at least one lead (), the lead () having a plurality of electrodes () being capable to provide at least one stimulation field (F; F; F), further comprising at least one adjustment means (), the adjustment means () being configured such that at least one characteristic parameter of the stimulation field (F; F; F) is directly and/or indirectly adjusted in order to establish at least one stimulation field (F; F; F) with at least one user defined maximal stimulation field characteristic at at least one user defined radial distance away from the lead ().

System for planning and/or providing a therapy for neural applications

A system having a first data storage element storing a first set of data including patient images and a second data storage element storing a second set of data that is derived from the first set of data, the second set of data including searchable data that is descriptive of the first set of data and excludes the patient images.

Search engine for medical data

A medical image system is disclosed, comprising a medical image processing module () and a user comment control module (). The medical image processing module () includes at least a medical image display module () and a user comment initiation module (). The user comment control module () includes at least: a screenshot capture module or hook () configured to capture a screenshot of operation of the medical image processing module at about a time of receipt of a signal from the user comment initiation module; a screenshot editing module or hook () configured to enable user editing of the captured screenshot to generate a user-edited screenshot; and a comment review/editing module or hook () configured to automatically generate and enable user editing and transmission of an electronic mail message having the user edited screenshot embedded or attached.

Software bug and performance deficiency reporting system

Curved Planar Reformation (CPR), producing a Curved Planar Reformat, is a technique to provide a representation of an anatomical structure which is curved through a 3D volume. This reformation process can result in image artifacts, leaving it up to the user to determine what are artifacts and what are actual anatomical features. The invention provides assistance to the user by detecting areas of potential ambiguity during the CPR procedure, and distinguishing these areas on the display to the user. In this way, the user no longer needs detailed knowledge of how the CPR is performed.

Curved planar reformation

A computer-aided method () comprises alternating between one or more of (i) navigational tasks and (ii) measuring, qualification, and quantification tasks of a clinical task in accordance with defined simple click style user interactions. The defined simple click style user interactions are based upon a domain knowledge () that includes (i) details of an anatomy and (ii) details of a clinical measurement, quantification, or workflow of the clinical task associated with the anatomy. Responsive to execution of a simple click style user interaction within a current view (), and further in accordance with a corresponding navigational task or measuring, qualification, or quantification task, the method transitions within the clinical task and its workflow between one or more of (a) a first measurement point and a next measurement point within the current view () or (b) the current view () and a next view ().

Method and apparatus featuring simple click style interactions according to a clinical task workflow

The invention relates to a system () for identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the system comprising: a composition unit () for composing a query for identifying the certain data-object; an identification unit () for identifying a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, based on the query; a presentation unit () for presenting a description of the candidate data-object to a user; a feedback unit () for receiving user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object; and an update unit () for updating the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object. Thus, the user may evaluate a discriminating characteristic of the candidate data-object, based on information obtained from the presentation unit, and provide user feedback comprising a reason specifying why the retrieved data is relevant and/or not relevant to the query.

Filter by example

The present invention has the advantage over the prior art that it provides a labeling method suitable for a complete medical report. In an aspect the present invention provides intuitive visual manual labeling, easy navigation based on anatomy, feedback to improve segmentation interactively, and automatic labeling based on anatomical textbook knowledge and already provided manual labels.

Labeling a segmented object

A method for processing an image comprising the steps of assigning a value of a positioning error to a detail in the image, wherein the value corresponds to a positioning uncertainty of a position of the detail in the image. The method includes visualizing the value of the positioning error enabling an interactive adjustment of the value. The method further includes storing the adjusted value of the positioning error with reference to a position of the detail in the image.
