A physiological monitoring system includes a near-end portable monitoring module for generating first sensed data, capturing a user's first image, an image sensing module for synchronizing the first sensed data and the first image to form first combination data, and searching and connecting the corresponding near-end portable monitoring module to receive the first sensed data and display the near-end information display module corresponding to the screen of the first combination data, when the first sensed data includes a warning signal, the first combination data is transmitted and stored in the Internet by the second communication unit within a time period from a first time before the warning signal is issued to a second time for releasing the warning signal, and the first combination data within the time period from the first time to the second time is transmitted to the near-end information display module to display the first combination data.

A wearable computing device for identifying gestures indicating patient prescription adherence is provided. The wearable computing device includes a processor, a memory, and a motion sensor. The processor is configured to receive a set of prescription plan data defining a prescription for a pharmaceutical associated with a user of the wearable computing device. The processor is also configured to receive a gesture pattern of movement of the wearable computing device. The gesture pattern indicates that a patient is adhering to the prescription. The processor is further configured to detect, with the motion sensor, a first motion pattern associated with the wearable computing device. The processor is also configured to analyze the first motion pattern to determine if the gesture pattern has been performed. Upon determining that the gesture pattern has been performed, the processor is configured to update a prescription usage record.

The present invention provides a non-contact vital sign monitoring which properly detect subject's vital signs by correcting the measured signals for reflectance and variations in distance between measurements. The present invention provides for adequate sensor numbers and types to properly monitor a subject's vitals and physiological signals. Certain aspects of the invention include the use of signal scoring methods. In such embodiments, acquired data and/or information is used for scoring a signal acquired from non-contact vital monitoring assisting in the accurate measurement of various vitals of a subject, including, without limit, a subjects temperature, cardiovascular and respiratory information. The present invention provides a viable solution for at-a-distance non-contact vital sign monitoring that overcomes the shortcomings of existing solutions known in the art.

A method of indicating an oxygen desaturation period has been initiated includes detecting an oxygen mask configured to supply oxygen to a patient to saturate the patient, detecting a removal of the oxygen mask from the patient to stop saturation of the patient, initiating a desaturation timer in response the removal of the oxygen mask from the patient, and operating an image display device to display a first running time on a screen of the image display device indicating a desaturation time elapsed from a time of the removal of the mask.

A sleeping mask includes a signal processor for processing sensor data, an infrared light source coupled to the signal processor and configured to emit infrared light toward an eyelid of a user, and an array of infrared sensors coupled to the signal processor and configured to receive infrared light reflected from the eyelid of the user.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus for opportunistic measurements and processing of a user's context. In one instance, the apparatus may include a processing block, a first sensor having first and second electrodes disposed on a work surface of the apparatus, to provide first readings of a user's physiological context in response to a contact between the electrodes and respective hands of a user, and a second sensor coupled with the processing block and having a sensitive surface embedded in one of the first or second electrode. The second sensor may provide second readings of the user's physiological context and a wake-up signal to the processing block in response to proximity of one of the hands to the sensitive surface. The processing block may facilitate process the user's physiological context in response to a receipt of the wake-up signal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Described herein are apparatuses (e.g., garments, including but not limited to shirts, pants, and the like) for detecting and monitoring physiological parameters, such as respiration, cardiac parameters, and the like. Also described herein are methods of forming garments having one or more stretchable conductive ink patterns and methods of making garments having one or more highly stretchable conductive ink pattern formed of a composite of an insulative adhesive, a conductive ink, and an intermediate gradient zone between the adhesive and conductive ink. The conductive ink typically includes between about 40-60% conductive particles, between about 30-50% binder; between about 3-7% solvent; and between about 3-7% thickener. The stretchable conductive ink patterns may be stretched more than twice their length without breaking or rupturing.

A method of operating a magnetic resonance imaging system (10) includes adjusting a radio frequency excitation field B1 to be applied to a subject of interest (20) to be imaged. At least one position parameter (d) that is indicative of a position of at least the portion of the subject of interest (20) relative to at least one radio frequency transmit antenna (36) of the magnetic resonance imaging system (10) is determined. At least one radio frequency power-related parameter of radio frequency power to be fed to the at least one radio frequency transmit antenna (36) is adjusted in dependence of the at least one of the determined at least one position parameter (d) and a determined geometric dimension (w) of the subject of interest (20).

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a method capable of performing authentication using a smart watch, including: detecting a request for authentication for executing an application; measuring a user's heartbeat rhythm through a sensor mounted in a bottom of the smart watch when detecting the request for the authentication; and comparing the measured heartbeat rhythm with an already-stored heartbeat rhythm and thus performing the authentication on the application.

An injectate delivery device for expanding tissue is provided.
