Uromems SAS is seeking patent protection for a system for the control of an inflatable implant device with a variable volume fluid reservoir that may be used to plug an anatomical duct such as a urethra, gastric duct, colon, or rectum, or configured for use as a penile implant.
Sound Wave Innovation Co. Ltd. seeks patent protection for a method of using an ultrasonic device which transmits non-converging ultrasonic energy to the brain for the treatment of dementia, including mild Alzheimer’s-type dementia and mild cognitive impairment.
Researchers from Stanford University seek patent protection for an ultrasound-based device which converts electrical energy into acoustic energy to treat inflammatory disorders. The neuromodulator device targets the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP), which regulates the innate immune response to injury, pathogens, and tissue ischemia.
Patent applications from Bellevue, Wash.-based Aiberry Inc. describe further aspects of its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered mental health screening platform that is designed to improve efficiency and save time for healthcare providers.
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.
