A dialysis access site monitoring system may generate a treatment recommendation for treating a condition of an access site based on a video of the access site. The dialysis access site monitoring system may include an apparatus having a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may include instructions that, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to generate video information based on a video of a dialysis access site of a patient, determine change in the number of pixels (CNP) information of the video information, the CNP information associated with movement of a skin surface of the patient due to blood flow through the dialysis access site, determine frequency domain information of the CNP information, determine a maximum-to-median power (M2) value of the frequency domain information, and determine at least one access site characteristic based on the M2 value.

Methods and systems for use in treating one or more patient’s sensory impairment, e.g., associated with peripheral neuropathy. An exemplary system may be configured to generate treatment information for treating sensory impairment in at least one body portion using photonic energy from a therapeutic laser based on data indicative of damage.

Provided herein are devices and systems comprising a light source which provides a beam to an optical module via a multimode fiber, an interference objective module outputs the beam processed by the optical module and collects interference signals from a sample; and a detector which detects the interference signals from the interference objective module wherein the optical module comprises an etendue squeezing component configured to slice the beams to at least two sub-beams and homogenize the sub-beams to an illumination field and match the shapes of the illumination field with the region of interest.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide an optical measurement method, an optical measurement apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable medium capable of specifying the position of a pore. The optical measurement method includes first, second, and third steps. In the first step (ST11), first 3D tomographic image data is acquired from a skin by using optical coherence tomography. In the second step (ST12), a line shown in a second planar image (B2) at a second depth is removed from a first planar image (B1) at a first depth, the second depth being deeper than the first depth. In the third step (ST13), a position of a pore is specified from the first planar image (B1) from which the line has been removed.

Methods for non-invasive or minimally invasive assessment of epithelial tissue structure are disclosed. Digital imaging and processing are used to identify cell locations. More specifically, an automated algorithm that may be used to identify epithelial tissue structure, and/or to specify the coordinates/locations of cells in the epithelial tissue structure, through non-invasive or minimally invasive imaging, and use of this information to extract values of epithelial structure related parameters are disclosed.

The described systems and methods determine a driver's fitness to safely operate a moving vehicle based at least in part upon observed UVB exposure patterns, where the driver's UVB exposure levels may serve as a proxy for vitamin D levels in that driver's body. A smart ring, wearable on a user's finger, continuously monitors user's exposure to UVB light. This UVB exposure data, representing UVB exposure patterns, can be utilized, in combination with driving data, to train a machine learning model, which will predict the user's level of risk exposure based at least in part upon observed UVB exposure patterns. The user can be warned of this risk to prevent them from driving or to encourage them to get more sunlight exposure before driving. In some instances, the disclosed smart ring system may interact with the user's vehicle to prevent it from starting while exposed to high risk due to deteriorated psychological or physiological conditions stemming from insufficient UVB exposure.

An example computer-implemented method for analyzing skin of a user comprises requesting, via a graphical user interface (GUI), visual media including a face of the user, processing the visual media to generate information for each of a plurality of skin conditions of the face of the user and the information comprises a score per each of a plurality of zones of the face of the user per each of the plurality of skin conditions of the face of the user, mapping the score to a severity level associated with the plurality of skin conditions, and for each of the plurality of skin conditions, the GUI overlaying computer graphics at locations onto the visual media corresponding to the plurality of zones of the face of the user. The computer graphics are depicted with a color associated with the severity level for the skin condition at each of the locations.

The present invention provides a system for personalized skin health and/or appearance regimen supported with a device that comprises a mirror-based digital interface apparatus, directly from the device to one's account. In some embodiments, the device utilizes built-in virtual trainers/beauticians to give realtime personalized suggestions, product recommendations, based on the user's preference. The trainer/beautician can provide information through text on the screen or use audio. In some embodiments, it can display personalities, influencers, skin health experts who suggest skin workout regiment and them using the mirror-based digital interface. In some embodiments, realtime questions can be asked and answered with a data library integrated within the device and online database.

The described systems and methods determine a driver's fitness to safely operate a moving vehicle based at least in part upon observed impairment patterns. A smart ring, wearable on a user's finger, continuously monitors impairment levels. This impairment data, representing impairment patterns, can be utilized, in combination with driving data, to train a machine learning model, which will predict the user's level of risk exposure based at least in part upon observed impairment patterns. The user can be warned of this risk to prevent them from driving or to encourage them to delay driving. In some instances, the disclosed smart ring system may interact with the user's vehicle to prevent it from starting while the user is in a state of impairment induced by substance intoxication.

Scanning a person’s skin allows one to more easily find products that match their skin tone and skin condition. A skin scan can assist one to determine what products are appropriate for them and then purchase them from a retailer. A scanning device is used to scan one or more locations of a person’s skin. For example, two different locations of a person’s face can be scanned, such as the forehead and cheek. An additional third scan may be near the person’s eyes. The scan determines skin tone and skin condition results for the person’s skin. These results can be used to determine and present a listing of products that are appropriate for the person’s skin tone and skin condition.
