Wearable apparatus, system and method for detection of cardiac arrest and alerting emergency response
The disclosure provides wearable cardiac arrest detection and alerting device that incorporates a non-invasive sensor based on optical and/or electrical signals transmitted into and received from human tissue containing blood vessels, and that transcutaneously quantifies the wearer's heart rate. The heart-rate quantification enables the detection of the absence of any heart beat by the wearable detection and alerting device indicative of the occurrence of a cardiac arrest, wherein the heart is no longer achieving effective blood circulation in the individual wearing the device. The display on the wearable cardiac arrest detection and alerting device may include the elapsed time since the time of detection of a heart rate that is below a predetermine lower limit value, i.e., the detected occurrence of a cardiac arrest event.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING WORKPLACE ACTIVITIES
A system includes a wearable sensor device including an accelerometer configured to be worn by a person and to record sensor data during an activity performed by the person; an analysis element configured to receive the sensor data from the wearable sensor, determine sensor orientation data of the wearable sensor during the activity based on the sensor data, translate the sensor orientation data of the wearable sensor to person orientation data of the person during the activity, determine, for the person during the activity, (a) a lift rate, (b) a maximum sagittal flexion, (c) an average twist velocity, (d) a maximum moment, and (e) a maximum lateral velocity, and determine a score representative of an injury risk to the person during the activity based on such data; and a tangible feedback element configured to provide at least one tangible feedback based on the score so as to reduce the injury risk.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ISCHEMIC PRE-CONDITIONING USING EXERCISE
The various embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for a fully mobile, non-invasive, continuous system for monitoring the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health of an individual during exercise, and for administering a protocol for ischemic pre-conditioning. The system includes a wearable devices affixed on the user with a chest strap, coupled with an application running on a computing device (smartphone/smartwatch), which performs various computations on the wearable device, and allows the user to get real time alerts during exercise, by way of vibrations or audio messages or notifications on the gateway device, to guide them through a protocol for ischemic pre-conditioning.
STRETCHABLE AND WEARABLE WIRELESS 3-LEADS ECG MONITORING APPARATUS
The present invention provides a stretchable and flexible multi-leads ECG monitoring apparatus having a primary circuitry encased in a thin and flexible polymer patch configured to be worn on a human body. At least four flexible leads are connected to the primary circuitry at a first end and are configured to be connected to ECG electrode patches at a second end. The ECG electrode patches being configured to be attached to a plurality positions on a human body. The wireless transmitter is configured to transmit the ECG monitoring signals to a receiving device for recording or displaying the ECG monitoring signal.
Hearing assistance device incorporating virtual audio interface for therapy guidance
A hearing assistance device adapted to be worn by a wearer comprises a processor configured to generate a sequence of audio cues that audibly guide the wearer through a series of actions involving the wearer's head and neck in accordance with a predetermined corrective or therapeutic maneuver. A speaker is configured to play back the sequence of audio cues for reception by the wearer. One or more sensors are configured to sense movement of the head during each of the actions. The processor is configured to determine if head movement for an action associated with each audio cue has been correctly executed by the wearer, and produce an output indicative of successful or unsuccessful execution of the actions by the wearer.
Diagnostic and therapeutic device for compromised vascular hemodynamics analysis
An integrated triad system to measure a patient's blood pressure at different body positions, to instruct the patient when to move from one position to the next to alleviate vascular hypertension based on an algorithm stored in the system calculating blood pressure changes and predictive risk, and to transmit the result to a remote medical location. Using the integrated triad system to perform the test over a period can increase test sensitivity by accommodating the variable onset of the disease.
Method and system for determining and improving behavioral index
The present invention provides methods and systems determining the behavioural index of a user. The present invention involves analyzing the user's behaviour and linguistic parameters using a smart wearable device. Basis the analysis, user's behavioural index is suitably determined, modified and informed to the user.
