Methods, devices, and components for regulating fluid flow

A device for regulating fluid flow, comprising:

• a tubing, configured to allow fluid flow therethrough;
• an implantable valve comprising a regulating element, arranged proximate to the tubing;
• an actuating component, arranged proximate to the regulating element, the actuating component being configured to manipulate a parameter associated with the regulating element;
• and
• a control component, configured to communicate with other devices and to control the actuating component.

A system for regulating fluid flow, comprising:

• a data processing device, configured to collect one or more biometric indicators associated with a patient;
• and
• a tubing, configured to allow fluid flow therethrough;
• an implantable valve comprising a regulating element, arranged proximate to the tubing;
• an external actuating component, arranged proximate to the regulating element, the actuating component being configured to manipulate a parameter associated with the regulating element, wherein the actuating component is configured to be arranged external to a subject's body;
• and
• a control component, configured to communicate with other devices and to control the external actuating component.

A method for regulating fluid flow, comprising:

• collecting one or more biometric indicators associated with a patient;
• calculating an estimated fluid production rate based on the one or more biometric indicators associated with the patient;
• calculating a desired value based on the estimated fluid production rate;
• and
• sending the desired value to a control component of an external actuating component for actuating an implantable valve of a device for regulating fluid flow, wherein the external actuating component is configured to be arranged external to the patient's body, the device for regulating fluid flow comprising
• a tubing, configured to allow fluid flow therethrough;
• and
• the implantable valve including a regulating element, arranged proximate to the tubing.

A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions executable by one or more processors, that when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

• collecting one or more biometric indicators associated with a patient;
• calculating an estimated fluid production rate based on the one or more biometric indicators associated with the patient;
• calculating a desired value based on the estimated fluid production rate;
• and
• sending the desired value to a control component controlling an external actuating component for actuating an implantable valve of a device, wherein the external actuating component is configured to be arranged external to the patient's body, the device for regulating fluid flow comprising
• a tubing, configured to allow fluid flow therethrough;
• and
• the implantable valve including a regulating element, arranged proximate to the tubing.
