In an example, the technique also detects and measures vital signs of each human target by continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans living in a home. Of course, there can be other variations, modifications, and alternatives.

An ophthalmic lens having an electronic system is described herein for monitoring the medical condition of the wearer using at least one sensor and at least one problem template. In a further embodiment, the problem template includes a pattern and/or a threshold. In at least one embodiment, the lens works in conjunction with a second lens and/or an external device to monitor for a medical condition or to perform a test protocol of the wearer. Examples of the at least one sensor include an eyelid position sensor system, an eye movement sensor system, a biosensor, a bioimpedance sensor, a temperature sensor, and a pulse oximeter.

A patient monitoring system and method for visual alarm indication on parameter active cables are provided herein. The patient monitoring system includes a plurality of sensors and an active cable coupled to the plurality of sensors to acquire data from the plurality of sensors. The patient monitoring system also includes a host patient monitor coupled to the active cable, wherein the active cable includes a visual alarm that is to indicate an alarm condition using the plurality of sensors.

Apparatus is provided that includes a drug capsule containing an oral drug, and a sensing apparatus that includes a housing and a sensor. The housing is shaped so as to define exactly one hemispherical portion and exactly one cylindrical portion, which together define an internal surface tightly fitted to at least a portion of an external surface of the drug capsule. The sensor includes first and second electrodes, which comprise first and second electrode surfaces, respectively; and circuitry, which (a) is attached to the housing, (b) is electrically coupled to the first and the second electrode surfaces, and (c) is configured to drive a current between the first and the second electrode surfaces. Other embodiments are also described.

Techniques and systems for communicating information via a computer-implemented agent are described. A computing device may obtain sensor data of an individual, such as visual data, audible data, physiological data, or combinations thereof. An emotional state of the individual may be determined based on the sensor data. A communications framework may be identified based on the emotional state of the individual. The communications framework may indicate a manner in which the computer-implemented agent communicates information to the individual. For example, the communications framework may specify voice features, facial features, body language, positioning in the environment, or combinations thereof, that may be utilized to produce a representation of a computer-implemented agent that communicates information to the individual. In some cases, the individual may provide feedback indicating a preference to have the computer-implemented agent communicate information in a different manner.

A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a detector. The detector is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the detector. The nose sensor can include an inner prong and an outer prong to assist the nose sensor in securing to a patient's nose. The detector can be coupled to an inner post of the inner prong and can be configured to secure to an interior or exterior portion of the patient's nose.

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for transcutaneous measurement of glucose in a host.

A medical apparatus having an application device which can be brought into contact with a patient to be treated, and a galvanic isolator which can be connected to the application device, the isolator having at least one application connector for connection to the application device and at least one supply connector for connection to a device. The isolator is configured to galvanically isolate the application connector from the supply connector. The isolator has at least one first radio unit connected to the application connector, and at least one second radio unit connected to the supply connector. The first antenna and second antenna are fixed on a carrier at a visible distance from each other. The at least one first radio unit and the at least one second radio unit are configured to transmit signals and/or data between the application connector and the supply connector.

Described herein are methods, apparatuses, and systems for heart monitoring of a patient. The heart monitoring system can be used to take an electrocardiogram (ECG) using only two electrodes. A handheld device can be used to sequentially measure the electrical signal between different positions on a patient's body. The electrical signals can be processed and analyzed to prepare an ECG for the patient, including a 12-lead ECG.

Disclosed are processes including receiving at least a first and a second image data record corresponding to a first and a second point in time and including a first and a second one or more images of a wound; obtaining an image of the wound from a particular point of view corresponding to the first point in time by analyzing the first image data record; generating a simulated image of the wound from the particular point of view corresponding to the second point in time by analyzing the second image data record; and generating a visual time series view of the wound including at least the image of the wound from the particular point of view corresponding to the first point in time and the simulated image of the wound from the particular point of view corresponding to the second point in time.
