The invention relates to a system (4) for estimating a fertility status of a woman, particularly for determining a conception probability of a woman, the system (4) comprising:—A wearable device (2A, 2B), comprising at least one sensor (201, 203, 204) configured to record at least one physiological signal from a woman wearing the wearable device (2A, 2B) and to generate sensor data from the at least one physiological signal, wherein the wearable device (2A, 2B) is configured and arranged to provide the sensor data to—An evaluation system (1) configured and arranged to receive and process the sensor data from the wearable device (2A, 2B), wherein the evaluation system (1) is further configured and arranged to classify the sensor data into at least a first group and a second group, wherein the first group is associated to sensor data indicative of a woman having a high fertility status and wherein the second group is associated to sensor data indicative of a woman having a low fertility status.

A fluid collection system comprises a sealed reagent container that fits inside a sample container and is unsealed by disengaging a seal comprised in a sample container. The sealed reagent container contains a reagent, such as a nucleic acid preservative. The reagent container also includes a sleeve disposed opposite the sealed opening. The sleeve includes a distal opening for receiving a sample and a proximal opening disposed in the sample container for guiding a sample from the distal opening and through the proximal opening into the sample container. Disengaging the seal releases the reagent into the sample container with the sample, where they mix.

Methods, systems, and devices for illness detection are described. A method may include identifying a menstrual cycle model associated with a menstrual cycle for a user, and receiving physiological data for the user collected throughout a first time interval and a second time interval by a wearable device. The method may include inputting the physiological data and the menstrual cycle model into a classifier, and identifying a satisfaction of deviation criteria between first and second subsets of the physiological data collected throughout the first and second time intervals, respectively, based on the menstrual cycle model. The method may include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an illness risk metric associated with the user based on the satisfaction of the deviation criteria, the illness risk metric associated with a relative probability that the user will transition from a healthy state to an unhealthy state.

The test lab set-up includes a test flow bench for mounting one or more test devices, an adjustable nozzle for simulating urine flow, and a sensor for collecting data associated with the simulated urine flowing through the test device(s). A computing device for measuring and/or calculating various parameters associated with the simulated urine flow may also be included. The test device may have a shape corresponding to a handheld uroflowmeter subject to testing. The angle of the adjustable nozzle may be adjusted to test for various angles of urine flow. Similarly, the angle, pitch, and roll of the test device may be adjusted to test for various angles at which a uroflowmeter is held. As fluid flows through the test device, the sensor collects information such as, for example, flow rate, duration, volume, and the like. The sensor transmits the data collected to a computing device for additional processing.

The invention relates to an assembly comprising a sampling device with a rod and a swab and a transfer tool for detaching the swab from the rod and transferring the detached swab to a container. The transfer tool comprises a housing enclosing a closed chamber having a swab-member passage and configured for receiving the swab-member. The housing comprises a first housing part and second housing part hinged to the first housing part. The first housing part and second housing part define an entry opening to a channel delimited by the first and second housing part. This channel extends from outside the housing to the passage. The first housing part and second housing part are rotatable around the hinge between a holding condition and a non-holding condition. The swab-member passage is configured to prevent, in holding and non-holding condition, the base from entering the passage whilst allowing, in non-holding condition, the swab member to pass through the passage. The channel and swab are configured to allow, in non-holding condition, inserting the swab-member and the base through the entry opening into the channel, advancing the swab-member to and through the passage into the chamber until the passage prevents the base from entering the passage, and to prevent, in holding condition whilst the passage blocks the base in the insertion direction and the swab-member projects through the passage into the chamber, the base from movement opposite to the insertion direction.

Aspects of the invention provide a biological sample collection pad (e.g., for the collection of fecal, liquid or tissue samples). Method of using such pads and analyzing collected samples are also provided.

A roll sheet type sample collection kit according to an embodiment includes a fixing bar provided as a member having a given length, a collection sheet rolledly fixed to one end of the fixing bar to attachedly collect the sample thereonto, a support bar adapted to allow the fixing bar and the collection sheet to protrude from one side thereof and to be grasped while the sample is being collected, and a cap detachably mounted to surround the fixing bar and the collection sheet protruding from the support bar. The roll sheet type sample collection kit performs a sample test in a gentle and accurate manner, and easily removes a portion where the sample is collected therefrom so as to perform the sample test, thereby enhancing quickness and conveniences in the sample test.

A measurement apparatus includes a light source, a sensor including light detection cells including a first light detection cell and a second light detection cell, and an electronic circuit. The circuit causes the light source to emit a light pulse, causes the first light detection cell to detect a reflected light pulse from a target in an exposure period including at least part of a period from when an intensity of the reflected light pulse starts increasing to when it starts falling and generate a first signal, causes the second light detection cell to detect the reflected light pulse in an exposure period including at least part of a trailing period from when the intensity of the reflected light pulse starts falling to when it stops falling and generate a second signal. The circuit generates, based on the first and second signals, data representing states of the target.

A stool management system having a tubular body including a first end section disposable in a rectum of a patient and a second end section including a first connector which detachably mates with a second connector coupled to a collection container which receives waste matter passed through the tubular body from the bowel of the patient.
