A system that assists acupuncture based on the physiological signals of the human body. Physiological signals comprise respiratory signals, electrocardiographic signals, electrical skin signals, electroencephalograph signal, blood flow signals, pulse wave signals and/or signals derived from above signals. The acupuncture treatment process comprises the following: controlling the actuator of the automatic acupuncture device through physiological signals to start, to stop acupuncture treatment or to perform acupuncture techniques such as twisting or lifting-thrusting. It also provides an automatic acupuncture system to assist acupuncture based on Chinese Medicine Body Clock information.

A virtual reality and augmented reality system configured for meditation applications including a headset comprising an adjustable strap and a display. The headset further includes heating and cooling elements to provide an immersive virtual reality environment to a wearer. The virtual reality system is operable to determine the physiological condition of the wearer and adjust the virtual reality environment based on the physiological condition of the wearer.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for closed-loop sleep protection and/or sleep regulation. According to an aspect, sleep disturbing noises are predicted and a biosignal parameter is measured to dynamically mask predicted disturbing environmental noises in the sleeping environment with active attenuation. Environmental noises in a sleeping environment of a subject are detected, input, or predicted based on historical data of the sleeping environment collected over a period of time. The biosignal parameter is used to determine sleep physiology of a subject. Based on the environmental noises in the sleeping environment and the determined sleep physiology, the noises are predicted to be disturbing or non-disturbing noises. For predicted disturbing noises, one or more actions are taken to regulate sleep and avoid sleep disruption by using sound masking prior to or concurrently with the occurrence of the predicted disturbing noises.

A system includes an electronic circuit, a memory, and a control system. The electronic circuit is coupled to a conduit. The conduit may be configured to deliver pressurized air. A portion of the electronic circuit has a first electrical property that is configured to change based at least in part on movement of the portion of the electronic circuit. The memory stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions. Data associated with the first electrical property of the electronic circuit is received. The received data is analyzed. Based at least in part on the analysis, it is determined that the first electrical property of the electronic circuit has changed. Responsive to the determination that the first electrical property of the electronic circuit has changed, it is determined that the conduit is moving or has moved.

An audio system adapted to provide an auditory stimulation for inducing neural oscillations in a user during sleep.

A method includes applying, via a respiratory therapy system, initial therapy settings for a user during a first sleep session in which the user uses the respiratory therapy system. First physiological data, which is received from one or more sensors, is generated during the first sleep session. Modified therapy settings are applied, via the respiratory therapy system, during a second sleep session of the user. Second physiological data is received from the one or more sensors. The second physiological data is generated by the one or more sensors during the second sleep session. A set of sleep-related parameters is determined based on changes between the first physiological data and the second physiological data. One or more of a recommended therapy or recommended therapy settings is determined based on the set of sleep-related parameters.

A system and method for a cloud-based gaming platform with integrated health-related data collection capabilities. In an embodiment, the system and method comprise a cloud-based gaming platform comprising a frontend accessible from various game clients which operates a gaming environment on one or more game servers, a backend that provides the game database and analytics used by the game servers to operate the gaming environment, and a HIPPA-compliant security gateway configured to route health-related data from gaming to a healthcare diagnostics and treatment module integrated into the platform. Exercising on an exercise machine compatible with the cloud-based gaming platform entertains the user while simultaneously capturing data about the user's physical and mental performance which can later be used to diagnose medical conditions and, depending on configuration, implement treatment regimens comprising exercise routines and mental simulation via tasks in the gaming environment.

The present invention relates to a system for real-time determination of a local strain of a lung during artificial ventilation. The system comprises a device for electrical impedance tomography (EIT), which device is configured to capture an electrical impedance distribution along at least one two-dimensional section through a human thorax, and further comprises a device for assigning the captured electrical impedance distribution, which device is configured to divide the captured electrical impedance distribution at different times during the artificial ventilation into a multiplicity of EIT pixels and to assign a specific value of the electrical impedance at a specific time to a specific EIT pixel.

A device is described for delivering a therapeutic vibration to a body. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency 80. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body. The vibration may be based on the input signal, such that the system applies the vibration based on the input signal to the user, wherein the signal may be an audio or video signal. The system may be configured to measure and manipulate the flow of cerebral spinal fluid.
