Biomechanical forces over the computational domain for each of the plurality of time steps using a cardiac biomechanical model coupled to the cardiac electrophysiology model. The biomechanical forces acting on a plurality of nodes of the mesh domain are estimated in parallel for each time step. Blood flow and cardiac movement are computed at each of the plurality of time steps based on the calculated biomechanical forces. Computed electrophysiology potentials, biomechanical forces and cardiac parameters are displayed, user input is interactively received to change at least one of the parameters of the patient-specific models, and the electrophysiology potentials, the biomechanical forces, and the blood flow and cardiac movement are recalculated. | 2015-12-03 |
20150347710 | PATIENT-SPECIFIC CUTTING BLOCK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A patient-specific cutting assembly comprises a model file including geometrical data of a bone of the patient, of an intramedullary canal of the bone, and a planned orientation of a cutting block. A fixing rod is adapted to be longitudinally inserted in and extending partially from the intramedullary canal. A patient-specific cutting block is connectable to the fixing rod. The patient-specific cutting block includes a structure having a patient specific geometry corresponding to the model file of the patient, the structure configured to be connected to a portion of the fixing rod projecting from the bone in a unique coupling orientation. A cutting guide is connected to the structure, the cutting guide being in the planned orientation when the structure is connected to the portion of the fixing rod projecting from the bone. | 2015-12-03 |
20150347711 | WELLNESS AGGREGATOR - The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received. | 2015-12-03 |
20150347712 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION AND TRACKING - A method for distributing products includes placing each of a plurality of products into a separate cell of a package, the package having a plurality of cells. The method also includes covering the cells of the package with a cover layer having a plurality of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, such that each RFID tag is aligned with a corresponding cell, and sealing the package. The method further includes associating information about each product with the corresponding RFID tag in one or more first digital records and storing the first digital records in a memory. | 2015-12-03 |
20150347713 | INTERACTIVE ADHERENCE DRUG DISPENSING AND COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM - Technologies are generally described for providing a pill dispensing device with adherence monitoring and alerting features, as well as communication capabilities. A pill pack may be integrated within a housing of the pill dispensing device, where removal of each pill in the pill pack may be monitored through a conductive trace or comparable mechanism. Timing of the removal, remaining pills, and similar information may also be detected by the pill dispensing device and provided along with additional information such as health status of the consumer monitored by one or more sensors to a health care provider or similar entity over wired and/or wireless networks. The pill dispensing device may include audio and/or visual output device(s) to provide alerts and health/medication related information to the consumer. A display technology may employed enabling continuous display with low power usage such as ink display while providing color and/or video capabilities. | 2015-12-03 |
