A method for modeling soft tissue includes receiving one or more images showing an anatomical geometry of a first subject. The anatomical geometry includes a soft tissue. The method also includes measuring a plurality of parameters of the anatomical geometry of the first subject using one or more sensors attached to the first subject. The method also includes receiving a first set of material properties for the soft tissue of the first subject, a second subject, or both. The method also includes identifying a second set of material properties that characterizes the soft tissue while the first subject performs a task. The method also includes determining a strain on the soft tissue, a stress on the soft tissue, or both based at least partially upon the one or more images, the parameters, the first set of material properties, and the second set of material properties.

Systems and apparatuses for generating customized user output are provided. The system may collect sensor data, associated with the user, from a variety of sources. The system may use the sensor data to generate a customized user output. The system may analyze the sensor data, and determine, based on the sensor data and the customized user output, one or more user recommendation outputs. The system may update the customized user output based on additional or subsequent sensor data, and/or based on whether or not the user recommendation output was completed, as determined from subsequent sensor data.

Computer-implemented method of detecting parameters indicative of a variation of activation of the sympathetic nervous system and of a variation of activation of the parasympathetic nervous system in a subject in a transition from a basal condition to a perturbed condition, comprising the calculation of the power ratio between the powers in the LF and HF bands of the power spectra of the systolic time interval and the diastolic time interval.

A biological information measurement apparatus includes a processor configured to: if a predetermined number of plural measurements of an oxygen circulation time are to be performed, before a predetermined oxygen-circulation-time measurement period ends during a first measurement of the oxygen circulation time, notify a test subject of a breath-hold instruction as a preparation for a second measurement of the oxygen circulation time, the test subject being a person for whom the oxygen circulation time is measured, the second measurement being a subsequent measurement to the first measurement.

A system and a method for identifying a patient with a threshold number of distinct ECG abnormalities. The system and the method include an ECG monitoring device; a server; a database; a network; a memory containing machine readable medium comprising a machine executable code having stored thereon instructions for identifying patients with a threshold number of distinct ECG abnormalities; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to: receive an ECG data output from the ECG monitoring device; process the ECG data output to identify abnormalities in the ECG data; and analyze the abnormalities in the ECG data in order to output an indication of whether the patient has depressed LVEF, wherein the ECG monitoring device, the server, the database, the memory, and the processor are coupled to the network via communication links.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for identification of patients having an elevated near-term risk of chronic kidney disease progression, including quantitatively predicting whether or not an elevated risk of progression of Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease is likely within a time interval of up to 36 months subsequent to computing the prediction. Based on the prediction, appropriate care providers may be notified so that the risk of CKD progression may be mitigated. In some embodiments, serial measurements are obtained of urine osmolality, and a challenge with an AVP V2 antagonist and serum sodium concentration is provided. From a time series based on the serial measurements, estimates of each variable's velocity and/or doubling-time may be determined. These values then may be combined via a multivariable mathematical model for providing a leading indicator of near-term future abnormalities in kidney function.

A wearable device includes a housing with a window and an electronic module supported by the housing. The electronic module includes a photoplethysmography sensor, a motion sensor, and a signal processor that processes signals from the motion sensor and signals from the photoplethysmography sensor. The signal processor is configured to remove frequency bands from the photoplethysmography sensor signals that are outside of a range of interest using a band-pass filter to produce pre-conditioned signals, and to further process the pre-conditioned signals using the motion sensor signals to reduce motion artifacts from footsteps during subject running. The device includes non-air light transmissive material in optical communication with the photoplethysmography sensor and the window that serves as a light guide for the photoplethysmography sensor. The window optically exposes the photoplethysmography sensor to a body of a subject wearing the device via the non-air light transmissive material.
