Detecting and Measuring Snoring

Approaches described herein can determine one or more breathing phase patterns over a period of time using audio data captured by at least one microphone. The audio data can include one or more snores. A breathing phase pattern included within the period of time can be determined based at least in part on sensor data captured by one or more sensors in the electronic device. A determination can be made that a first breathing phase pattern represented by the audio data and a second breathing phase pattern represented by the sensor data are correlated. A determination can be made that the first breathing phase pattern represented by the audio data and the second breathing phase pattern represented by the sensor data both correspond to a user wearing the electronic device.

HFpEF detection using exertional heart sounds

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods to determine an indication of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) of a subject using a determined change in cardiac acceleration information of the subject at exertion relative to cardiac acceleration information of the subject at rest. The system can include a signal receiver circuit configured to receive cardiac acceleration information of a subject and exertion information of the subject, and an assessment circuit configured to determine the change in cardiac acceleration information of the subject at exertion relative to cardiac acceleration information of the subject at rest, and to determine an indication of HFpEF of the subject using the determined change in cardiac acceleration information.

Contactless cough detection and attribution

Methods, devices, and systems for contactless cough detection and attribution are presented herein. Audio data may be received using a microphone. A cough may be identified as having occurred based on the received audio data. Radar data may be received indicative of reflected radio waves from a radar sensor. A state analysis process may be performed using the received radar data. The detected cough may be attributed to a particular user based at least in part on the state analysis process performed using the radar data.

11389288 · 2022-07-19 ·

An implantable tissue connector (1; 1a) adapted to be connected to a tubular part of living tissue (70; 80) within a patient's body (100) comprises a conduit (2) and at least one flexible sleeve (10) adapted to axially extend and closely fit around at least part of the outer surface (6) of the conduit. The conduit is inserted into the tubular part of living tissue and the flexible sleeve placed over the tubular part of living tissue. Various alternatives are described of how the living tissue may be prevented form slipping off of the conduit.

DETECTION SYSTEM, DETECTION METHOD AND SENSING DEVICE FOR DETECTING STENOSIS OF CAROTID ARTERY
20220240793 · 2022-08-04 · ·

A detection system and a detection method and a sensing device for detecting stenosis of carotid artery are provided. The invention detection system for detecting a stenosis of a carotid artery includes a sensing device and a server. The sensing device includes a microphone. The microphone receives a frequency spectrum signal from a first location. There is a first distance between the first location and a second location of at least one of a plaque and a thrombus in the carotid artery. The first location is located on an extended path of the carotid artery. The server receives the frequency spectrum signal and calculates a stenosis percentage of the carotid artery corresponding to the frequency spectrum signal through a machine learning module and transmits the stenosis percentage to the sensing device.
