Thermal stress risk assessment using body worn sensors
Methods, systems and computer program products provide for a Risk Assessment Engine that receives body ambient temperature data captured by a sensor in contact with a person. The Risk Assessment Engine characterizes types of activities performed by the person during a time range associated with the body ambient temperature data. The Risk Assessment Engine determines a risk classification individualized for the person based on respective workloads and the corresponding allocations of work and rest experienced by the person during performance of the characterized types of activities.

A smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized, wherein the smartphone device is configured to actively control the configuration of one or more bladders, compartments, chambers or internal sipes and one or more sensors located in either one or both of a sole or a removable inner sole insert of the footwear of the user and/or located in an apparatus worn or carried by the user, glued unto the user, or implanted in the user. The one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, or sipes, and one or more sensors are configured for computer control. A sole and/or a removable inner sole insert for footwear, including one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, internal sipes and sensors in the sole and/or in a removable insert; or on an insole; all being configured for control by a smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IN SITU MEASURING AND COLLECTING SAMPLES OF ANALYTE CONCENTRATION IN BODILY FLUIDS
A system and related methods include a durable component, an indicator component including an indicator zone comprising at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element, at least one moisture sensor, and a fluid collection reservoir. The durable component contains at least one spectrophotometer, a computing system, and means for electronic communication between the computing system and at least one external device. The indicator component includes at least one colorimetric analyte sensing element and a fluid transport layer in fluid communication with the indicator zone, and it is arranged and configured for attachment to the durable component. In addition, the moisture sensor is arranged and configured to communicate the presence of moisture to initiate a predetermined delay in measuring the concentration of at least one analyte. The fluid collection reservoir is releasable from at least one of the indicator components and the durable component at a predetermined breaking point for clinical analysis.
Chemiresistor with ionic liquid carbon nanotube composite for wireless chemical sensing
A wireless sensor platform design and a single walled carbon nanotube/ionic liquid-based chemidosimeter system can incorporated into a highly sensitive and selective chemical hazard badge that can dosimetrically detect an analyte down to a sub parts-per-million concentration.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
The present disclosure provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a flexible element, and a sensing element adjacent to the flexible element and configured to detect a biosignal. The electronic device also includes an active component in the flexible element and electrically connected with the sensing element. A method of manufacturing an electronic device is also disclosed.
Adaptive responses from smart packaging of drug delivery absorbable adjuncts
In general, adaptive responses from smart packaging of drug delivery absorbable adjuncts and methods of using smart packaging of drug delivery absorbable adjuncts are provided.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING VENTILATORY DEPRESSION AND FOR PROMPTING A PATIENT TO BREATHE
A system and method for prompting a patient experiencing ventilatory depression to breathe includes at least one sensor for detecting ventilatory depression by detecting inadequate breathing or lack of breathing in the patient. The system also includes one or more sensors for determining the type of breathing problem experienced by the patient. A sensor for detecting motion of the patient is used to determine whether the patient is moving. If inadequate or a lack of breathing is detected and the patient is not moving, the system provides verbal prompts or tactile stimuli to prompt the patient to breathe to improve patient ventilation.
PERSONALIZED SCHEDULES FOR DISPLAYING TO A USER PARTICIPATING IN ACTIVITY TO THEREBY MITIGATE PRODUCTIVITY LOSSES AND USER INJURIES AND/OR ILLNESSES
A method according to one embodiment includes receiving baseline health data of a user, receiving activity-based health data of the user collected by a sensor device worn by the user while participating in physical activity and receiving environmental-based data of the user collected by the sensor device worn by the user. An alert is output for display on a user device in response to a determination that a core body temperature of the user is greater than a predetermined threshold temperature. A personalized schedule is generated for the user to follow while participating in the physical activity. The personalized schedule includes at least one instruction of when to start participating in the physical activity and at least one instruction of when to stop participating in the physical activity. The method further includes outputting the personalized schedule for display on the user device.
INDIVIDUALIZED SWEAT RATE AND HYDRATION ALERT SYSTEM
A method according to one embodiment includes receiving baseline health data of a user, receiving activity-based health data of a user collected by a sensor device worn by the user while participating in physical activity, and receiving environmental-based data of the user collected by the sensor device worn by the user and/or from an external application programming interface (API). A personalized schedule is generated for the user to follow while participating in the physical activity based on the baseline health data of the user, the activity-based health data of the user and the environmental-based data of the user. The personalized schedule includes at least one instruction of an amount of fluids for the user to consume while participating in the physical activity to maintain hydration of the user and prevent dehydration of the user. The method further includes outputting the personalized schedule for display on the user device.
DEVICE FOR METABOLISM MONITORING BY MEANS OF MOS SENSOR AND A CORRESPONDING METHOD
A device and a method for metabolism monitoring of a user based on low-cost, energy-effective and ultra-compact metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor are provided. The device provides information on metabolism/nutrition/physical activity of the user based on measuring the MOS sensor resistance proportional to a ratio of oxygen (O2) to carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in exhaled air.
