A processing system includes methods to promote sleep. The system may include a monitor such as a non-contact motion sensor from which sleep information may be determined. User sleep information, such as sleep stages, hypnograms, sleep scores, mind recharge scores and body scores, may be recorded, evaluated and/or displayed for a user. The system may further monitor ambient and/or environmental conditions corresponding to sleep sessions. Sleep advice may be generated based on the sleep information, user queries and/or environmental conditions from one or more sleep sessions. Communicated sleep advice may include content to promote good sleep habits and/or detect risky sleep conditions. In some versions of the system, any one or more of a bedside unit 3000 sensor module, a smart processing device, such as a smart phone or smart device 3002, and network servers may be implemented to perform the methodologies of the system.

When it comes to monitoring human health, today's consumers are limited to so called “health trackers,” which count steps and calculate calorie burns. Traditional health trackers are only capable of measuring heart rate and are limited to external measurements. These devices are not capable of obtaining the internal body data and do not have access to human fluids. The personal health shield personal cloud case cover (or “health PCCC”) can not only analyze human fluids but also fluids being consumed by the user (food and drinks). The data collected from the fluids is then compared to a cloud or local data base. The results are displayed on a phone, tablet, personal computers, television, or any other device either mounted in the PCCC or connected to the health PCCC.

Such systems can include one or more of a processor, at least one input sensor operably coupled to the processor to sense at least one sensor input, at least one output device to output at least one stimulus to be observed by the user, a core unit to interact with the user, the core unit being operably coupled to the processor, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying a set of machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to detect one or more sensor inputs by way of the at least one sensor, analyze said at least one or more sensor inputs to identify a parameter describing the status of the user, and responsive to determining the parameter describing the status of the user, causing the at least one output device to change output of at least one stimulus that is observable by the user.

A system for mapping user emotions includes a plurality of sensors for measuring user emotion indications and environmental data. A controller is coupled to the plurality of sensors. The controller reads the plurality of sensors to obtain at least one user emotion indication and environmental data coincident with the at least one user emotion indication. The controller further associates the environmental data with the user emotion indication.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.
