The present invention relates to a processor and a system (1, 1′) for screening of the state of oxygenation of a subject (100), in particular for screening of newborn babies for congenital heart disease. The system comprises an imaging unit (2) for obtaining a plurality of image frames of the subject (100) over time, and a processor (3) for processing the image frames. The imaging unit, for instance a conventional video camera as used in the vital signs monitoring using the above mentioned principle of remote PPG, is used as a contact less pulse oximeter, by use of which a body map (for at least some body parts of interest) of at least the blood oxygen saturation is created. Picking certain body areas, e.g. right upper extremity versus left upper and/or lower extremity, and combining or comparing them can serve the purpose of detecting anomalies of heart and/or circuitry functions.

An apparatus for measuring physiological parameters of a mammal subject includes a first sensor system and a second sensor system that are time-synchronized to each other and spatially separated. Each sensor system has a plurality of electronic components and a plurality of flexible and stretchable interconnects that are electrically connecting to different electronic components, and an elastomeric encapsulation layer at least partially surrounding the plurality of electronic components and the plurality of flexible and stretchable interconnects to form a tissue-facing surface and an environment-facing surface. The plurality of electronic components includes a sensor member for measuring at least one physiological parameter of the mammal subject, a system on a chip (SoC) having a microprocessor coupled to the sensor member for receiving data from the sensor member and processing the received data, and a transceiver coupled to the SoC for wireless data transmission and wireless power harvesting.

A patient monitoring sensor having a communication interface, through which the patient monitoring sensor can communicate with a monitor is provided. The patient monitoring sensor includes a light-emitting diode (LED) communicatively coupled to the communication interface and a detector, communicatively coupled to the communication interface, capable of detecting light. The patient monitoring sensor includes a silicone patient-side adhesive.

A system and method of automatically assessing pediatric and neonatal pain using facial expressions along with crying sounds, body movement, and vital signs change to improve the diagnosis and treatment of pain in the pediatric patient population.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for the continuous monitoring of subjects that ensure that the probe of a monitoring device that needs to be in contact with the subject remains in continuous contact with the subject. Embodiments of the present disclosure include contacting a probe to a subject, transmitting a first electromagnetic radiation signal from a source in the probe to the subject, detecting via at least one detector in the probe a second electromagnetic radiation signal from the subject, detecting via a processor coupled to the at least one detector a change in contact between the probe and the subject based on a change in the second electromagnetic radiation signal, and stopping via the processor the source from transmitting the first electromagnetic signal upon detecting the change in contact between the probe and the subject.

A neural analysis and treatment system includes a computing device with a memory for storing an application that is executable on a processor to receive amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and range-EEG (rEEG) measurements associated with a patient. The systems determine a spectral edge frequency (SEF) measurement from the received EEG measurements, and determine one or more neural characteristics of the patient according to the determined SEF, aEEG, and rEEG measurements. These neural characteristics may then be used to identify and implement an appropriate therapeutic treatment.

A multihead grooming and cleaning tool, particularly for infants, has an elongate handle with two opposed slots. A tool body is housed in each respective slot and rotates around a tool body axis. In a first use configuration, a first tool head is deployed beyond the end of the handle while a second tool head is shrouded by the handle. In a second use configuration, the opposite is the case. Detenting structure in the slot coacts with detenting structure on the tool body to detent the tool body to the first or the second use configuration.

A physiological sensor includes a sensing element to detect physiological information from a patient's skin, a substrate configured to hold the sensing element on the patient's skin, and at least two contact probes on the substrate. The contact probes are positioned on the substrate such that galvanically contact the patient's skin when the substrate is fully attached against the patient's skin. A controller is configured to measure impedance between the at least two contact probes and determine whether the substrate has lifted from the patient's skin based on the impedance.
