Backbeat Medical Inc. is seeking patent protection for methods and systems for controlling blood pressure to either treat hypertension by using a first electrical stimulation pattern that reduces both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
Spark Biomedical Inc. is seeking patent protection for the use of its transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) platform for treating stress and improving performance in stressful situations while controlling bleeding.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a method of biofluid assessment capable of real-time monitoring as well as compatible with machine learning and neural network processing.
Wubin Bai, assistant professor of applied physical sciences, and members of his lab at UNC-Chapel Hill have developed a wearable, wireless sensing patch for deep tissue monitoring of multiple biometric indicators, including tissue oximetry, pulse oximetry, photoplethysmography, heart pulsation, and respiration.
Xenter Inc. is seeking patent protection for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) containing medical devices, including intraluminal devices such as guidewires and catheters comprising sensors for imaging and/or measuring of one or more physiological parameters.
Stanford University researchers are seeking patent protection for a medical device for performing endovascular surgical procedures, such as thrombectomy, rotablation, drug delivery and treating brain aneurysms. The device includes a magnetically actuated untethered rotation device, i.e., a magnetic spinner, that can navigate in blood vessels through its spinning-enabled propulsion.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh seek patent protection for a method of treating motor disorders by applying an electrical stimulus to neurons in the thalamus. The invention is based on their discovery that deep brain stimulation of specific lateral areas in the thalamus leads to improvements in motor outputs of voluntary movements affected by motor disorders.
In what represents the first Patent Cooperation Treaty filing published in the name of London, U.K.-based Abtrace Ltd., the company’s co-founder and chief executive officer, Umar Naeem Ahmad, collaborates with Xavier Monnet – professor of intensive care at Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP) Université Paris-Saclay – on the design of a fluid delivery system for delivering intravenous fluid therapy to a patient.
Itzhak Zachi Attia, an assistant professor of medicine and co-director of artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiology at Mayo Clinic, has filed for protection of an Al-based tool to detect cardiac amyloidosis (CA) from the analysis of voltage-time data captured from electrocardiograms (ECGs) acquired from a plurality of leads.
Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, are seeking – through the university’s commercial arm, Yeda Research and Development Co. Ltd. – to gain patent protection for methods and systems for detecting and treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that are based on nasal respiration parameters.
