A system for detecting human motion and body balance includes a flexible substrate configured to be positioned in a shoe of a user, a sensor array comprising one or more force sensors positioned on the flexible substrate, and a controller communicably coupled to the sensor array. The controller is configured to receive force data from the sensor array, determine biomechanical characteristics for the user based on the force data, the biomechanical characteristics including at least one of a center-of-pressure, a center-of-mass, or lower extremity angles for the user, and provide an indication of the biomechanical characteristics to the user.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for positioning a subject. The method may include generating a first image of the subject disposed on a scanning board of an imaging device. The first image may include position information of the subject. The method may further include generating a second image of the subject which includes information associated with one or more organs of the subjects. Additionally, the method may include determining the position of a ROI based on the first image and the second image. The method may further include operating the imaging device to scan a target portion of the subject.

A foot imprinting device includes a plurality of foot imprinting units each of which includes a base seat, a colored pad disposed on the base seat, and a light transmitting sheet flippably disposed on and covering the colored pad. The light transmitting sheet is movable between a first state, in which the light transmitting sheet is configured to be stepped on by a person, and a second state, in which the light transmitting sheet is configured to show a footprint of a foot of the person.

There is provided a sensing device for use with a mobility assistance device, the sensing device comprising: a sensing layer including a plurality of sensors being arranged along at least one plane, a top outer layer and a bottom outer layer that are sealingly arranged to enclose the sensing layer, wherein the sensing device is arranged to locate between the user and the mobility assistance device, and is configured to attach to the mobility assistance device so that the sensing device remains in the same position relative to the mobility assistance device.

A pillow has an independent-supporting structure and a headrest cushion. The independent-supporting structure has a supporting plate. The supporting plate has multiple supporting elements disposed at intervals. Each one of the multiple supporting elements is able to be independently pressed, to independently restore, and to be independently deformed. The headrest cushion is resilient and is supported by the supporting plate for supporting a head of a human. When a user rests his head on the pillow, each supporting element is deformed independently to provide independent support to the cervical spine of the user.

A method for determining a muscle fatigue of a muscle includes the step of electrostimulating the muscle at a given electric charge at different frequencies. The method further includes the steps of determining forces developed by the muscle in response to the electrostimulations and determining a muscle fatigue on basis of the forces The steps are repeated a number of times with increasing electric charge, wherein the electric charge is increased by a charge step between two occurrences of the electrostimuation step.

A sensor strip comprises an elongate member that is segmented; the segments are defined by longitudinal and transverse grooves, such that the adjacent segments are hinged together; the longitudinal grooves define a central column and outer columns of segments; the segments in the outermost columns are tapered outwardly; and a pressure sensitive sensor is mounted in a plurality of the segments in the central column. A sensor strip of the invention can be used by introducing it under a bandage and recording the pressure at each of the pressure-sensitive sensors.

A biometric information measuring device comprising a control part that determines a degree of matching with respect to a purpose of use that is set in measured data related to multiple body compositions, based on a purpose-of-use matching degree relationship in which a degree of matching with respect to a purpose of use is associated according to a combination relationship about change directions of data related to the multiple body compositions associated by a display order with respect to the purpose of use.

A multi-functional health monitoring mat which enables the measurement of—but not limited to the following parameters: Weight, Plantar pressure, Bio-impedance for body composition, and Cardiovascular based measurements, such as: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Ballistocardiogram (BCG) from which additional health indicating analytics can be further extracted. The mat will be comprised of 3 separate layers: (1) A Bottom Layer, used for weight measurement, comprising force measurement sensors (2) A Middle Layer, used for pressure measurement, comprising pressure sensors in a matrix, and (3) A Top Layer, used for bio-impedance measurement, comprising conductive sensors, distributed throughout the top layer, enabling random orientation of the feet. In addition, there will be an electronic sub-system to enable communication of data and information from the bath mat to a mobile application. Measurements taken from the mat are transmitted to a software application on a mobile phone and data is used to provide feedback to the user.

In an approach to smart joint monitoring for bleeding disorder patients, one or more sets of data are received from a smart joint monitor, where the smart joint monitor includes one or more sensors. One or more criticalities are detected, where the one or more criticalities are detected by an artificial intelligence engine based on the one or more sets of data and a global knowledge base. One or more suggestions are determined, where the one or more suggestions are determined by the artificial intelligence engine based on the one or more criticalities and the global knowledge base.
