Apparatus worn by a person, methods, and support system for monitoring physiological parameters of the person, providing timely, actionable information to prevent death due to overdose, and, through social or professional influences, may cause life-saving changes in behavior. The apparatus sends alerts to the person via audible or tactile means, and to concerned others, that drug usage, drug overdose, or other critical medical condition has likely occurred. Alerts to concerned others include geographical information indicating where the person is, so that medical assistance personnel may find the person. Geographical information includes latitude, longitude, the translation of latitude and longitude into a street address, and elevation information indicating on which floor in a building the person is.

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.

Various embodiments concern video patient monitoring with detection zones. Various embodiments can comprise a camera, a user interface, and a computing system. The computing system can be configured to perform various steps based on reception of a frame from the camera, including: calculate a background luminance of the frame; monitor for a luminance change of a zone as compared to one or more previous frames, the luminance change indicative of patient motion in the zone; and compare the background luminance to an aggregate background luminance, the aggregate background luminance based on the plurality of frames. If the background luminance changed by more than a predetermined amount, then the aggregate background luminance can be set to the background luminance, luminance information of the previous frames can be disregarded, and motion detection can be disregarded.

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for remote diagnostic medical testing. Some embodiments relate to resource allocation. Some embodiments relate to dynamic resource allocation. In some embodiments, a method for remote diagnostic testing can include receiving a request to begin a testing session, selecting at least one guidance provision scheme from a plurality of guidance provision schemes, beginning the testing session using the selected at least one guidance provision scheme, receiving data indicative of one or more characteristics of the testing session, determining to modify the testing session for the user, and altering the testing session. In some embodiments a method can include determining, based on data indicative of the user's sentiment, one or more baseline scores associated with one or more emotion and detecting a change in the user sentiment during the testing session.

Technologies are provided for remote neuropsychological assessments and other types of remote assessments (medical or otherwise).

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for detecting seizure events are disclosed, including a system for identification of an increased risk of a severe neurological event. The system may include an electroencephalogram (“EEG”) monitoring unit configured to collect EEG data from the patient during at least a postictal phase or one or more seizures and a processing unit configured to receive the EEG data from the EEG monitoring unit. The processing unit is configured to detect postictal EEG suppression from the EEG data and to identify the increased risk of the severe neurological event based on the detected postictal EEG suppression. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A computer-assisted patient navigational communication system for receiving electronic and oral communications from a patient, scanning data to determine the medical needs of the patient, and displaying relevant information to appropriate medical personnel who can immediately advise the patient of the most appropriate source of medical assistance relating to the patient's identified symptoms.

A system and method for camera-based stress determination. The method includes: determining a plurality of regions-of-interest (ROIs) of a body part; determining a set of bitplanes in a captured image sequence for each ROI that represent HC changes using a trained machine learning model, the machine learning model trained with a hemoglobin concentration (HC) changes training set, the HC changes training set trained using bitplanes from previously captured image sequences of other human individuals as input and received cardiovascular data as targets; determining an HC change signal for each of the ROIs based on changes in the set of determined bitplanes; for each ROI, determining intervals between heartbeats based on peaks in the HC change signal; determining heart rate variability using the intervals between heartbeats; determining a stress level using at least one determination of a standard deviation of the heart rate variability; and outputting the stress level.

The present disclosure provides communication systems and devices for use in noise environments, such as during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In some embodiments, a communication headrest is provided that consists of a headrest that supports a patients' head, an optional bone conduction microphone, and one or more vibration actuators. The headset makes contact with noise-isolating earplugs worn by the subject such that vibrations generated by the vibration actuators are transferred through the earplug, via acoustic conduction, to enable the patient to hear audio content while the earplugs provide passive noise protection by occluding the ear canal. In other embodiments, active earplug devices are provided in which an acoustic transducer is contacted and supported by a noise isolating earplug, such that when the earplug is inserted into the ear canal, the acoustic transducer is brought into acoustic conductive communication with tissue surrounding the ear canal, facilitating acoustic communication through bone conduction.

Systems and methods for assisting user with hearing by amplifying sound using an amplifier with gain and amplitude controls for a plurality of frequencies; and applying a learning machine to identify an aural environment and adjust the amplifiers for optimum hearing.
