A percussive therapy system that includes a percussive massage device including a network interface, and an intelligence engine. The intelligence engine is configured to receive manual capture data and real-time tracking data from the percussive massage device, receive remote data from a remote data source, and generate recommendation data comprising a recommended protocol to be performed by the percussive massage device. The recommendation data is generated from demographic, activity, temporal, analytics, and biometric data, received from the manual capture data, the real-time tracking data, and the remote data inputs.

A distributed patient monitoring system comprises at least one standalone portable ultrasound imaging unit configured to be fixed to a stable position against the skin on a patient's body and capable of prolonged ultrasound data acquisition, including an ultrasound imaging array, transmit-receive circuitry, a beamformer, backend signal and image processing subsystem, power and communication subsystems, and a monitoring workstation connected to each standalone portable ultrasound imaging unit configured to request and receive ultrasound imaging information from each standalone portable ultrasound imaging unit, and configured to analyze and display acquired ultrasound information.

A mobility device including one or more sensors configured to transmit user mobility data to an external electronic device such as a smartphone or a computer. In embodiments, the mobility device can be a cane, crutch, walker, wheelchair, walking stick, or walking pole. A system for measuring real time mobility data of a user is also disclosed.

A hydrogen-containing gas supply system includes one or more hydrogen-containing gas suppliers, one or more acquirers, and a controller. The one or more hydrogen-containing gas suppliers supply a hydrogen-containing gas to one or more areas in a building. The one or more acquirers acquire information indicating that a person is present in the one or more areas. When it is determined that a person is present in a certain area of the one or more areas in accordance with the information acquired by the acquirers, the controller causes at least one of the one or more hydrogen-containing gas suppliers to supply the hydrogen-containing gas to the certain area.

Air microfluidics and minifluidics enabled active compression apparel enhances mobility and quality of life for individuals by minimizing risks of injuries, enhancing rehabilitation, and maximizing comfort. Balloon actuators, integrated with a garment, provide active compression and augmenting forces to anatomical portions of the human body. The balloon actuators are actuated by fluidic pressurization hardware. The air microfluidics and minifluidics system miniaturizes fluidic pressurization hardware and makes it wearable, ultra lightweight, and ultra formfitting. The air microfluidics and minifluidics system includes micro and mini channels of various lengths, cross-sectional areas, and functions via principles of equivalent hydraulic resistance allowing for fluidic transportation, passive delay in pressurization of the balloon actuators, and digital soft fluidic actuation where the compression force is based on the number of inflated balloon actuators instead of their pressure.

A system and method for biofeedback-based control of sexual stimulation devices involving receiving biometric data, analyzing the biometric data to detect changes in the physiology of a person, and generating control signals based on the changes. In some embodiments, the analyses of the biometric data are performed by machine learning algorithms which may be trained on associations between biometric data of a user, indications of the user's state of arousal, and the state of operation of a sexual stimulation device. In some embodiments, machine learning algorithms are used to make the associations. In some embodiments, biofeedback-based controls may be incorporated into systems of controls comprising thought-based controls and/or voice-based controls.

A system and method for adaptive speech and biofeedback control of sexual stimulation devices. In an embodiment, the system and method involve receiving audio from a microphone, processing the audio through an automated speech detection engine to detect speech within the audio, matching the speech to a control command for a sexual stimulation device, generating a control signal for the sexual stimulation device based on the control command, receiving biometric data from a biometric sensor, and adjusting the control signals based on the biometric data before outputting the adjusted control signal for use in operating the sexual stimulation device. In some embodiments, the adjustment to the control signal is made automatically by a machine learning algorithm using the command and biometric data as inputs.

A robotic assistant includes a wheeled base, a body positioned on the base, a foldable seat rotatably connected to the body, an actuator to rotate the foldable seat with respect to the body, and a control system that receives command instructions. The actuator is electrically coupled to the control system. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to control the actuator to rotate the foldable seat to a folded position or an unfolded position. The control system is further to detect whether an external force from a user has applied to the foldable seat, and release the actuator to allow the foldable seat to be manually rotated.

A flexible wearable robot for assisting with a walking motion of a user may include a thigh strap to be worn to enclose a thigh portion of a user, a shank strap to be worn to enclose a shank portion of the user, a driver to be worn on a back or waist portion of the user to provide a driving force for assisting with a walking motion of the user, a first driving wire with one end connected to the thigh strap and the other end connected to the driver to receive tension, a second driving wire with one end connected to the shank strap and the other end connected to the driver to receive tension, and a controller to control a drive of the driver to selectively apply tension to at least one of the first driving wire and the second driving wire.

Each of three floors is adjacent to the other two floor robots so that a position at which three vertices selected each from the three floor robots face each other is set as a central point, and an information processing apparatus includes a floor robot guidance unit to specify an advancing direction and a walking speed of a walking person based on pressures detected by the floor robots when the walking person walks, to move the three floor robots at the specified walking speed in an opposite direction to the specified advancing direction, to specify, as a target vertex, a vertex that can be determined to lie in the specified advancing direction, other than the three vertices, and rotate at least one of the three floor robots so that the position of the target vertex is set as a new central point.
