Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. The system includes a camera to capture one or more images at a scene where the person in need of medical assistance is being treated and one or more processors. The processors receive and process the images, by using a rescuer profile, to provide a real-time feedback to the rescuer to improve the CPR treatment.

A method of operating an exoskeleton device includes: receiving sensor information; connecting a clutch system to a pulley system in; determining whether to engage a drive train gear to the clutch system based on the sensor information; engaging the drive train gear through the clutch system when determined to engage the drive train gear; and powering a first motor to drive the drive train gear for controlling a joint or segment of exoskeleton device.

Described herein is a smart bed system, which includes a number of different elements that operate together or may operate independently in connection with an existing conventional bed frame and/or mattress. Bed system includes an inclinable bed apparatus, which is configured to be situated on an existing bed frame or mattress and provide selective inclining/reclining of a patient or user. A sensor mat system is adapted to be situated on mattress. Sensor mat system includes a plurality of different layers to sense the position and movement of a patient. An inflatable bladder system includes a plurality of inflatable cells for selectively adjusting the position or pressure experienced by a patient using bed system. A support rail system supports a user in a bed. A microcontroller performs various control and data processing operations associated with system. User input for various controls of system may be provided from a remote control, which is in data communication with microcontroller.

A resuscitation system for use in the resuscitation of a subject includes a computing device configured to input subject information and use the subject information to create a subject resuscitation strategy, a sensor configured to detect subject biosignals and use the subject biosignals to monitor for a subject cardiac arrest event, and a defibrillator configured to determine and deliver a subject resuscitation treatment. On determination of a subject cardiac arrest event, the sensor outputs sensor subject biosignals to the computing device. The computing device uses the sensor subject biosignals to adapt the subject resuscitation strategy and output the subject resuscitation strategy to the defibrillator. The defibrillator measures subject biodata and uses the subject biodata and the subject resuscitation strategy to determine and deliver a subject resuscitation treatment. During subject resuscitation treatment, the defibrillator repeatedly uses measured subject biodata and the subject resuscitation strategy to adapt the subject resuscitation treatment.

Described herein are wearable sensory stimulation and monitoring devices that can be worn around the back of the neck along and in contact with the spine. Apparatuses described herein stimulate one or more senses including auditory, tactile or olfactory. Apparatuses are also described that allow for sensing and monitoring of physiologic parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure and movement. The device also has features that allow for easy attachment or integration to articles worn on the head such as augmented reality and virtual reality accessories to provide visual stimulation and entertainment.

A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes determining whether one or more messages have been received from at least one of an electromechanical machine, a sensor, and an interface. Then the one or more messages may pertain to at least one of a user and a usage of the electromechanical machine by the user. The electromechanical machine may be configured to be manipulated by the user while the user is performing a treatment plan. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the one or more messages have not been received, determining, using one or more machine learning models, one or more preventative actions to perform. The method also includes causing the one or more preventative actions to be performed.

Systems and methods for providing resuscitative chest compressions to a chest of a patient are described. One exemplary system may include a chest compressor for administering chest compressions to the patient, one or more sensors for measuring and generating electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of the patient's heart. The system may include at least one processor coupled to memory and configured to receive and analyze the signals corresponding to the ECG, determine an intrinsic heart rate, identify at least one ECG waveform within the ECG signals, select a chest compression protocol from at least three or at least four predetermined chest compression protocols for administration to the patient based at least in part on the intrinsic heart rate of the patient, and control the chest compressor based on the selected chest compression protocol.

Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable IR emitters to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR emitters in a sauna.

A system and method for determining CPR induced chest compression depth using two sensors while accounting for different orientations of the two sensors.

An illuminated walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an elongated staff having a ground-engaging tip portion at a first end and a handle at an opposing second end. The staff provides a light pipe positioned proximal the tip portion and having a light-emitting member disposed therein to selectively illuminate the ground proximal the tip portion. The staff further provides a red nightlight which is always on so as to facilitate locating the apparatus in a dark environment.
