Pennsylvania Patent of the Month – July 2025
A new U.S. patent could change how we monitor and manage health conditions. The invention is a groundbreaking closed-loop system. It senses a person’s physiological data and then provides a targeted stimulus. This happens automatically, in real time.
The system is titled ‘Monitoring and management of physiologic parameters of a subject’ (U.S. Patent No. 12343533). It aims to improve patient compliance and reduce false alarms. LifeLens Technologies Inc. is the patent’s assignee.
Smart, Responsive Health Monitoring
The patented technology uses a sensing device attached to a subject. This device collects monitoring data. A processor analyzes this data for specific physiological parameters. If an “”event”” is detected, it sends a signal. This signal instructs a stimulating device to apply a stimulus.
Targeted, Customizable Stimulus
The stimulus is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The system receives new data after stimulation. It then analyzes changes and modifies the stimulus as needed. It can apply electrical pulses to reduce the likelihood of a sleep apnea event. These pulses are designed to stimulate tactile sensation without causing pain. The system can also alter a person’s sleep posture. It delivers stimulus to change position and prevent a problem.
Beyond Medical Care
The invention’s impact extends beyond traditional medical settings. The patent suggests applications for athletes and trainers. It could monitor heat stress and fatigue. The technology could also help with gait correction. This offers a new tool for physical therapists. The system provides a reliable, user-friendly method for continuous health management.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
