Methods, systems, and devices for temperature analysis are described. The method may include receiving physiological data associated with a user collected via a first set of sensors of a wearable device. The physiological data may include skin temperature data. The method may include receiving surrounding temperature data associated with an environment surrounding the user. The surrounding temperature data may be collected via the first set of sensors, a second set of sensors, or both. The method may additionally include identifying one or more physiological characteristics associated with the user based at least in part on a comparison of the skin temperature data and the surrounding temperature data, and causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an indication of the one or more physiological characteristics, a message or alert associated with the one or more physiological characteristics, or both.

A medical lead with at least a distal portion thereof implantable in the brain of a patient is described, together with methods and systems for using the lead. The lead is provided with at least two sensing modalities (e.g., two or more sensing modalities for measurements of field potential measurements, neuronal single unit activity, neuronal multi unit activity, optical blood volume, optical blood oxygenation, voltammetry and rheoencephalography). Acquisition of measurements and the lead components and other components for accomplishing a measurement in each modality are also described as are various applications for the multimodal brain sensing lead.

Transducer-based systems can be configured to display a graphical representation of a transducer-based device, the graphical representation including graphical elements corresponding to transducers of the transducer-based device, and also including between graphical elements respectively associated with a set of the transducers and respectively associated with a region of space between the transducers of the transducer-based device. Selection of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause activation of the set of transducers associated with the selected elements. Selection of a plurality of graphical elements and/or between graphical elements can cause visual display of a corresponding activation path in the graphical representation. Visual characteristics of graphical elements and between graphical elements can change based on an activation-status of the corresponding transducers. Activation requests for a set of transducers can be denied if it is determined that a transducer in the set of transducers is unacceptable for activation.

The invention provides various methods of identifying myocardial infarction (MI) patients who have microvascular obstruction (MO), persistent microvascular obstruction (PMO), reperfusion hemorrhage, iron deposition, chronic iron deposition, and/or fat infiltration/accumulation. The invention provides various methods of identifying myocardial infarction (MI) patients who are at risk of prolonged inflammation burden in heart, adverse cardiac remodeling, electrical abnormality, mechanical abnormality, malignant cardiac arrhythmia, ischemic heart failure, and/or sudden cardiac death. The invention also provides various methods of treating these MI patients with chelation drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, fat-lowering drugs, cooling therapies, or device therapies, or their combinations.

An apparatus for determining a functional index for stenosis assessment of a vessel is provided. The apparatus comprises an input interface (40) and a processing unit (50). The input interface is configured to obtain image data (30) representing a two-dimensional representation of a vessel (6). The processing unit (50) is configured to determine a course of the vessel (6) and a width (w1, w2) of the vessel along its course in the image data and is further configured to determine the functional index for stenosis assessment of the vessel based on the width of the vessel in the image data.

Optoelectronic modules operable to measure proximity independent of object surface reflectivity and, in some implementations, operable to measure characteristics (such as surface reflectivity or absorptivity) of stationary or moving objects are disclosed. The optoelectronic modules are operable to determine, for example, pulse rate, peripheral blood circulation, and/or blood oxygen levels of moving objects, such as the appendage of a user, in some instances. The optoelectronic modules can be used to measure peripheral blood circulation, for example, when a user of the optoelectronic module is engaged in physical activity, such as walking, running or cycling.

A wristband biosensing system, a wristband biosensing apparatus, and a biological sensing method are provided. The system includes a wristband body worn on a wrist of a user, at least one physiological signal sensor, at least one deformation sensor, and a processing device coupled to the physiological signal sensor and the deformation sensor. The physiological signal sensor is disposed on the wristband body at a position corresponding to at least one sensing portion of the wrist to detect a physiological signal of each sensing portion. The deformation sensor is disposed around each physiological signal sensor to detect deformation of each sensing portion and output a deformation signal. The processing device receives the physiological signal and the deformation signal, inquires a compensation signal corresponding to the deformation signal, and corrects the physiological signal by using the compensation signal, so as to output a corrected physiological signal of each sensing portion.

A wearable electronic device is disclosed, including: a housing having a front plate disposed facing in a first direction, a rear plate disposed facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, at least a part of the rear plate substantially transparent, and a side member defining a space between the front plate and the rear plate, a substrate disposed within the space, a biometric sensor module disposed between the substrate and the rear plate including at least one light source configured to emit light to an exterior of the wearable electronic device and at least one light detector configured to receive reflected light corresponding to the emitted light reflected from the exterior, and at least one magnetic substance disposed between the light source and the light detector to limit an amount of light reaching the biometric sensor module other than the reflected emitted light.
