An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a memory storing identifiers for one or more external electronic devices defined as a group, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including receiving biometric information detected by an external biometric detection device via transmission from at least one external electronic device of the group, selecting from within the group a particular external electronic device based on the received biometric information and the information related to the particular external electronic device, and transmitting the received biometric information to the selected particular external electronic device.

A mobile, hand-held communication device with a digital touch screen display and a camera for acquiring an image of the human body is programmed to function as a digital anthropometer. The user digitizes anatomical landmarks on the displayed image to quickly obtain linear measurements which are used with a known morphological relationship to make an anatomical prediction for clothing measurement, body composition and postural displacement with accuracy and without external equipment.

Disclosed are a device, a system, and a method of providing treatment information for a skin care treatment. The device includes: a patient information providing unit configured to provide patient information; a treatment information generating unit configured to generate treatment information based on the patient information; a progress information input unit configured to receive progress information for the treatment when the treatment is completed based on the treatment information; and a control unit configured to update the treatment information based on the progress information. Therefore, it is possible to provide the skin care treatment in a more objective state by preventing the treatment from being performed under different conditions for each practitioner or according to a condition of the practitioner, and it is further possible to perform a safe and effective treatment by preventing misuse of medical technology due to the misjudgment of the practitioner.

A non-invasive detection method, device, system and wearable apparatus for tissue element are provided. The method includes: emitting incident light of multiple predetermined wavelengths to a detected site, respectively; for each predetermined wavelength, obtaining light intensity values emitted from a surface of the detected site based on multiple photosensitive surfaces, wherein multiple photosensitive surfaces are at predetermined distances from a center of the incident light; and determining a concentration of the tissue element to be detected according to light intensity values in multiple predetermined wavelengths.

An oximeter probe that takes into account tissue color (e.g., skin color or melanin content) to improve accuracy when determining oxygen saturation of tissue. Light is transmitted from a light source into tissue having melanin (e.g., eumelanin or pheomelanin). Light reflected from the tissue is received by a detector. A compensation factor is determined to account for absorption due to the melanin. The oximeter uses this compensation factor and determines a melanin-corrected oxygen saturation value.

Aspects of the present disclosure are presented for a surgical instrument having one or more sensors at or a near an end effector and configured to aide in the detection of tissues and other materials and structures at a surgical site. The detections may then be used to aide in the placement of the end effector and to confirm which objects to operate on, or alternatively, to avoid. Examples of sensors include laser sensors used to employ Doppler shift principles to detect movement of objects at the surgical site, such as blood cells; resistance sensors to detect the presence of metal; monochromatic light sources that allow for different levels of absorption from different types of substances present at the surgical site, and near infrared spectrometers with small form factors.

Various systems and methods for providing a wellness mirror are provided herein. A system for providing a wellness mirror includes a display; a modeler to receive depth images from a depth camera that is communicatively coupled to the system, and provide a model of a subject in the depth images; a health profiler to analyze the model and produce a health and wellness analysis; and a user interface to present the health and wellness analysis on the display.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for automatic detection of clinical relevance of images of an anatomical situation. The method includes comparing a first image and a second image and determining whether a difference between the first and second images is at least one of a local type difference and a global type difference. The local type difference is a local difference of the first image and the second image and the global type difference is a global difference between the first image and the second image. The second image is determined as having a clinical relevance if it is determined that the difference between the first image and the second image comprises a local type difference.

A mobile, hand-held communication device with a digital display, and a 3D camera for acquiring a three-dimensional image of the human body is programmed to function as a digital anthropometer. The user digitizes anatomical landmarks on the displayed image to quickly obtain anatomical measurements which are used with a known morphological relationship to make an anatomical prediction for clothing measurement, body composition, orthotic and insert manufacturing, and postural displacement with accuracy and without external equipment.

Systems, devices, and methods for identifying a target in a body using a spectroscopic feedback from the target are disclosed. An exemplary surgical feedback control system comprises a feedback analyzer configured to receive a reflected signal from a target in response to electromagnetic radiation directed at a target, and a controller in operative communication with the feedback analyzer. The controller can generate a control signal to a surgical system to perform a predetermined operation based upon the received reflected signal, including determining a composition of the target, or programming a laser setting to direct laser energy to the target.
