The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with at least one sensor data of a patient undergoing an MRI scan by an MRI scanner. The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with at least one scan parameter of the MRI scanner for the MRI scan. The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with at least one characteristic of the patient. The processing unit is configured to predict a stress level of the patient and/or a predicted motion state of the patient, the prediction or predictions comprising utilization of the at least one sensor data of the patient, the at least one scan parameter of the MRI scanner, and the at least one characteristic of the patient. The output unit is configured to output information relating to the predicted stress level of the patient and/or the predicted motion state of the patient.

The invention relates to an assistance terminal (5, 6a, 6b) including a housing (5) and at least one terminal (6a, 6b) for remotely monitoring a person (1) connected to a medical assistance and/or monitoring device (3). According to the invention, the housing (5) comprises: reception means (8) for receiving a signal from the medical device (3); conditioning means (9) for conditioning the signal received by the reception means (8) of the housing (5); storage means (10) for, in a learning phase prior to a phase of use of the terminal (5, 6a, 6b), storing a range of signals which are sent by the medical device (3), and which are received by the reception means (8) of the housing (5) and which are conditioned by the conditioning means (9); comparison means (11) for, during the phase of use of the terminal (5, 6a, 6b), comparing a signal sent by the medical device (3), received by the reception means (8) and conditioned by the conditioning means (9), with the signals previously stored; transmission means (12) for, during the phase of use, transmitting the signal, if the latter corresponds to a signal previously stored, to the remote terminal (6a, 6b); the terminal (6a, 6b) comprising means for playing back the signal to at least one person to notify him or her of the sending of said signal by the device.

There are provided a maternal and fetal monitoring device and a display device for monitoring device including fetal heart rate acquisition means configured to acquire a fetal heart rate, labor pain intensity acquisition means configured to acquire a maternal labor pain intensity, fetal bioelectric signal acquisition means configured to acquire a fetal bioelectric signal, and display means capable of simultaneously displaying a cardiotocogram that displays the fetal heart rate and the labor pain intensity side by side on the same time axis over time as a graph and a fetal bioelectric signal diagram displaying the fetal bioelectric signal, and optimizing and displaying, together with the cardiotocogram, the fetal bioelectric signal diagram and the like closely related to these pieces of information.

This document discusses, among other things, patient monitoring systems, apparatus, and methods that change the operation of an ambulatory medical device (AMD) using geographic location information.

A sensing device can be used for ambulatory urodynamics. The sensing device can include an elongated outer housing constructed of flexible material that can curve within a patients bladder. At least a portion of the outer housing can be filled with a non-compressible fluid. A flexible printed circuit board can be disposed within the outer housing to curve with the outer housing. The printed circuit board can include a pressure sensor, comprising a diaphragm, to collect pressure data; a microcontroller miming control software; and a wireless transmitter to transmit the pressure data. A battery can be disposed within the outer housing and coupled to the printed circuit board. The flexible material of the outer housing is configured to be displaced by a pressure within the patients bladder, the displacement is transmitted through the non-compressible fluid to the pressure sensor that provides the pressure data based on the displacement.

A system for identifying a location of a device includes a first antenna mounted to a plug. The first antenna surrounds one or more prongs of the plug, and the plug has a memory that stores a device ID. A second antenna receives the device ID from the first antenna when the plug is coupled to a power outlet. A controller uses a communication module to wirelessly transfer the device ID and a power outlet ID to a computer server. The computer server uses the device ID and the power outlet ID to determine the location of the device within a building.

A system for predicting exit from an occupant support, includes a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and a frame having at least one force sensor which outputs a force signal in response to force exerted thereon. The system also includes machine readable instructions stored in the memory which cause the system to perform at least the following actions when executed by the processor: 1) determine a property of the signal during an interval of time, 2) classify the property as suggesting an exit event or as not suggesting an exit event, and 3) if the property is classified as suggesting an exit event, generate a notification thereof.

An implementation information storage stores implementation information of an examination performed by a doctor. A standard range setting unit sets a standard range for implementation information of an examination based on implementation information according to a skilled doctor stored in the implementation information storage. An implementation information acquisition unit acquires implementation information of an examination performed or being performed by a resident doctor. When the implementation information according to the resident doctor falls outside the standard range set by the standard range setting unit, an examination determination unit determines that the examination performed by the resident doctor is not performed properly. A notification processing unit gives notification regarding implementation information of an examination determined not to be performed properly.
