20210345935 | SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING A PATHOLOGIC EPISODE USING AN ACCELEROMETER - A system for verifying a candidate pathologic episode of a patient is provided. The system includes an accelerometer configured to be implanted in the patient, the accelerometer configured to obtain accelerometer data along at least one axis. The system also includes a memory configured to store program instructions and one or more processors. When executing the program instructions, the one or more processors are configured to obtain a biological signal and identify a candidate pathologic episode based on the biological signal, analyze the accelerometer data to identify a physical action experienced by the patient, and verify the candidate pathologic episode based on the physical action. | 2021-11-11 |
20210345936 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNALS - Apparatus for the assessment of electrophysiological signals obtained from a patient, the apparatus comprising: a housing; a support arch pivotally mounted to the housing, the support arch comprising a plurality of facial contact point supports for supporting contact points on the face of the patient relative to the support arch without supporting the chin of the patient; at least one display screen for presenting a stimulus to a single eye of the patient, the at least one display screen being movable relative to the support arch; and control electronics disposed within the housing for driving the at least one display screen and for amplifying electrophysiological signals obtained from the patient. | 2021-11-11 |
