A method and device for monitoring fatigued driving. The device comprises a processor, a monitoring unit an alarm unit and an inflating unit connected to the processor. The processor is used to obtain a monitor result, transmit, according to the monitor result, an alarm instruction to the alarm unit, and transmit an air inflation instruction to inflating unit upon obtaining the monitor result again after transmitting the alarm instruction. The monitor unit is used to monitor, in real time, a driving state of the driver, and transmit data indicating the driving state of the driver; the alarm unit (12) is used to receive the alarm instruction, and provide the alarm according to the alarm instruction; and the inflating unit is used to receive the air inflation instruction, and fill air according to the air inflation instruction.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) may be used in conjunction with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to enable identification of valid and reliable sensor data, as well implementation of Smart Calibration algorithms.

A smart toilet with a function of human blood pressure detection, the smart toilet includes a toilet base. The smart toilet further includes a body connected to the toilet base. The body is provided with a controller and a human blood pressure detection module, a display or voice prompt module, a key input module for sending back operation information of the user to the controller, and a power supply module for supplying power, which are electrically connected to the controller respectively. The controller processes the electrical signal transmitted by the human blood pressure detection module to obtain the blood pressure value of the human body, and controls the display or voice prompt module to output the blood pressure value. The human blood pressure can be conveniently and rapidly detected while the users use the toilet every day, so that abnormal blood pressure can be discovered early.

In the present invention, a catheter identification system for providing information about one or more attributes of a catheter connectable to an electrophysiology (EP) recording or mapping system includes a catheter, a resistor network operably connected to the catheter, the resistor network including at least one identification resistor and an identification resistor measurement circuit operably connected to the catheter and configured to send an identification signal through the at least one resistor in the resistor network to retrieve an altered identification signal from the identification resistor, where the altered identification signal provides information on an attribute of the catheter.

A dependency-based startup method in a multi-modality medical processing system that includes receiving initialization information about a plurality of executable components to be started, the plurality of executable components including an executable modality component configured to communicate with a medical device communicatively coupled to the multi-modality medical processing system. The method also includes receiving dependency information about the executable modality component, the dependency information identifying one or more of the executable components upon which the executable modality component depends and transforming the initialization information and the dependency information into a dependency map that represents the dependencies between the plurality of executable components. Further, the method includes deriving a start order for the plurality of executable components based on the dependency map and starting the plurality of executable components in the multi-modality medical processing system according to the start order.

An intraoral moisture measuring device includes: a swing member that swings with respect to a main body about a predetermined swing center; a moisture amount detection unit provided at a tip of the swing member, for detecting a moisture amount by being directly or indirectly abutted against a measurement site in a mouth; and a biasing member for biasing the swing member in one of swing directions. Consequently, the intraoral moisture measuring device is capable of measuring intraoral moisture in a simple and highly-accurate manner.

Systems and methods are provided for continuously monitoring a user to determine when cardiovascular events are likely occurring and to responsively provide a prompt to a user to engage in additional physiological assessment of the putative cardiovascular event. Additional assessment can include the user engaging an additional sensor to provide signals that are more accurate, lower noise, or otherwise improved relative to a continuously-monitoring sensor used to initially detect the cardiovascular event. Detection of cardiovascular events includes using a cardiovascular classifier to determine, based on the output of such a continuously-monitoring sensor, whether the event is likely occurring. Such a classifier can be received from a cloud computing service or other remote system based on sensor outputs sent to such a system. Use of such a classifier can facilitate reduced false-positive detection of cardiovascular events based on the continuously-monitoring sensor, and thus reduce extraneous prompts to the user.

A health monitoring system includes a band that is wearable on a user's extremity, such as a finger. A pulse oximetry sensor is disposed at an inner surface of the band and is configured to collect data representative of the heart rate and blood oxygen level of the user. An electronic control unit (ECU) is connected to the pulse oximetry sensor. When the band is worn by the user, the pulse oximetry sensor collects heart rate and blood oxygen level data and transmits the collected data to the ECU. The ECU receives the collected data from the pulse oximetry sensor, processes the collected data, and stores the processed data at a time interval, such as every 3 seconds or less. When the band is removed from the user, the ECU transmits the processed data stored in the storage unit to a remote device.

A wearable sensor assembly for contacting skin, the sensor assembly comprises a hollow, flexibly deformable protrusion, a sensor module, and a sensor device fixating structure. The protrusion is preferably a cushion- or a balloon-shaped protrusion. The protrusion comprises a base and an apex, preferably a substantially flat apex. At least part of the apex forms a contact area for contacting the skin. The sensor module is mounted on or inside the protrusion, preferably on or against the contact area. The sensor device fixating structure is configured to press the contact area with a substantially constant pressure against the skin. When the contact area is pressed against the skin, an increase, respectively decrease of a force exerted on the sensor device deforms, e.g. deflects and/or compresses, the protrusion such that the contact area that is in contact with the skin increases, respectively decreases, while the pressure stays substantially the same.
