Electrocardiogram (ecg) electrodes having bio-potential electrodes

An insulin delivery device includes an insulin injection device in communication with a controller for controlling the insulin injection device. The controller is configured to receive a heart signal from one or more heart sensors, and a blood glucose signal from one or more blood glucose sensors. The controller is further configured to analyze changes in the heart rhythm of the subject based on the heart signal and determine, based on the changes in the heart rhythm and the blood glucose signal, whether the subject is and/or will be experiencing an adverse event. Upon determination that the subject is or will be experiencing an adverse event, the controller determines one or more parameters of delivery of insulin to be delivered to the subject. Finally, the controller is configured to control the injection device to deliver insulin to the subject in accordance with the determined one or more parameters of delivery.

Method and device for improving prediction and detection of change in a physiological condition

Devices, methods and systems for predicting and detecting a change in a physiological condition of a subject are disclosed. A device for detecting and predicting a change in physiological condition of a subject may include one or more processors configured to: (i) analyze changes in a heart rhythm of a subject; (ii) analyze a signal from one or more biomarkers that are associated with a physiological condition of the subject; and (iii) determine, based on the changes in the heart rhythm and the signal from the one or more biomarkers, whether there is a change in the physiological condition of the subject during a time period.
