Illness Detection Based on Modifiable Behavior Predictors
Methods, systems, and devices for illness detection are described. A method may include identifying physical activity data, sleep data, or both, associated with a user based on physiological data for the user collected via a wearable device throughout a first and second time interval. The method may include inputting the physical activity data, the sleep data, or both, into a classifier, and identifying, using the classifier, a satisfaction of deviation criteria between a subsets of the physical activity data, the sleep data, or both, collected throughout the first and second intervals. The method may further include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an illness rick metric associated with the user based at least in part on the satisfaction of the deviation criteria, the illness risk metric associated with a probability that the user will transition from a healthy state to an unhealthy state.
Health Monitoring Platform for Illness Detection
Methods, systems, and devices for illness detection are described. A method may include receiving physiological data associated with users, the physiological data being continuously collected via wearable devices associated with the respective users. The method may include identifying baseline physiological data for each user based on a first subset of the physiological data for each respective user. The method may include inputting a second subset of the physiological data and the baseline physiological data for each user into a classifier, and identifying an illness risk metric associated with each user based on the second subset of the physiological data and the baseline physiological data for each respective user. The method may include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of an administrator user device to display at least one illness risk metric associated with at least one user, the illness risk metric associated with a relative probability that the at least one user will transition from a healthy state to an unhealthy state.
METHODS OF AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
The present invention relates to apparatus for measuring physiological parameters in a blood vessel. The apparatus comprises at least one acoustic sensor positionable on a part of a subject's body which is configured to receive an acoustic signal from a target blood vessel. The acoustic sensor is attached to the part of the subject's body by an attachment means.
CHAIR-TYPE PHOTOTHERAPY DEVICE
An object of the present invention is to provide a chair-type phototherapy device that enables a patient to perform light irradiation accurately targeted at a treatment site in a seated position on a chair and consequently achieves effective phototherapy even when the treatment site is in the back region that the patient is unable to see, for example, as in light irradiation for dysuria patients and patients with pain, and the patient performs light irradiation by himself/herself at home. The present invention provides a chair-type phototherapy device having a seat on which a patient is seated. The chair-type phototherapy device includes a radiation module configured to emit radiation light toward a living body, a drive module positioned behind the patient for moving the radiation module, and a fixing module fixing the drive module to the seat.
DEPENDENCY-BASED STARTUP IN A MULTI-MODALITY MEDICAL SYSTEM
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.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING CONTEXT THEREOF
A method is provided. The method includes identifying whether an amount of change in the pressure detected through an atmospheric pressure sensor is greater than or equal to a specified first threshold, in response to the amount of change in the pressure being greater than or equal to the first threshold, waking up a biometric sensor module including a plurality of electrodes in which some of the plurality of electrodes are disposed to come into contact with a body part of a user when the electronic device is worn, and others thereof are disposed to not come into contact with a body part of the user when the electronic device is worn, and identifying whether an interrupt signal, indicating that a state in which the plurality of electrodes are electrically connected is maintained for a specified first time or more, is received from the biometric sensor module.
EAR-WORN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM EMPLOYING WIRELESS POWERING ARRANGEMENT FOR POWERING AN IN-EAR COMPONENT DURING SLEEP
An ear-worn electronic monitoring system includes an on-ear component comprising a housing configured for placement on, in or about the wearer's ear. The on-ear component comprises a power source and a first interface coupled to the power source. The monitoring system also includes an in-ear component comprising a housing configured for deployment at least partially within an ear canal of the wearer. The in-ear component comprises a second interface configured to couple to and decouple from the first interface, a controller coupled to a memory, one or more physiologic sensors coupled to the controller and memory, and power management circuitry coupled to the controller. The power management circuitry comprises a wireless power receiver configured to receive power from a wireless powering arrangement. The power management circuitry is further configured to receive power from the power source of the on-ear component when the second interface is coupled to the first interface.
METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS RELATED TO ANALYTE MONITORING
Generally, methods, devices, and systems related to analyte monitoring and data logging are provided—e.g., as related to in vivo analyte monitoring devices and systems. In some aspects, methods, devices, and systems are provided that relate to enable related settings based on an expected use of an in vivo positioned sensor; logging or otherwise recording analyte levels acquired or derived—e.g., sample analyte levels more frequently than they are logged or otherwise recorded in memory; dynamically adjust the data logging frequency; randomly determine times of acquiring or storing analyte levels from the in-vivo positioned analyte sensors; and enable recording related settings when the system is operable.
ANALYTE MONITORING SYSTEM WITH AUDIBLE FEEDBACK
Described here are devices, systems, and methods for analyte measurement. The analyte measurement devices and systems may be configured to produce a prompt that may convey information, instructions and/or encouragement to a user. In some variations, analyte measurement devices may be configured to change a prompt based on the replacement or addition of components of/to the device. In some instances, a prompt may be an auditory prompt and/or a visual prompt. In some variations, a system may comprise an analyte measurement device comprising a housing, a speaker, and a control unit. The housing may comprise a releasable housing portion comprising an identifier that is associated with a prompt. In some variations, a system may comprise an analyte measurement device and a skin that may releasably attach to the analyte measurement device and may comprise an identifier that is associated with a prompt.
