In an example method, a mobile device obtains sample data generated by one or more sensors over a period of time, where the one or more sensors are worn by a user. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the sample data, and determines, based on the sample data, a severity of an injury suffered by the user. The mobile device generates one or more notifications based on the determination that the user has fallen and the determined severity of the injury.

A system for monitoring health and safety of workers in a manufacturing facility is presented. The system includes a user interface, a set of sensors, a database, management software and/or a health monitoring system, among other components. The system is configured to monitor health of workers using biometric data gathered by the set of sensors. In one or more arrangements, the system also tracks the position and motion of the worker. In one or more arrangements, the data gathered is aggregated in a database for datamining purposes so as to facilitate health monitoring and mitigation of identified illness. The system may be configured to screen and identify workers who are not in normal health. The system may be configured to screen workers health when clocking into or out of the time keeping system. The system may be configured to perform contact tracing.

A fall detection system includes a radar that generates emitting radio waves and receives reflected radio waves from a person under detection, a data generator that generates a point cloud according to the reflected radio waves, an area determining device that determines a sub-area of a detecting area in which the person under detection lies, and a classifier that determines whether the person under detection falls according to the point cloud. The classifier adaptively processes the point cloud with different methods according to sub-areas as determined by the area determining device respectively to determine whether the person under detection falls.

According to an aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method for evaluating movement of a subject. The method comprises obtaining a first signal representing measurements of the subject from a first sensor; processing the first signal to determine a quality measure for the first signal; determining if the determined quality measure meets a first criterion; if the determined quality measure meets the first criterion, determining values for a plurality of features in a first feature set, the first feature set comprising one or more first features to be determined from the first signal, and evaluating the movement of the subject based on the values for the plurality of features in the first feature set; and, if the determined quality measure does not meet the first criterion, determining values for one or more features in a second feature set, wherein the one or more features in the second feature set are a subset of the plurality of features in the first feature set and the second feature set does not include at least one of the one or more first features in the first feature set, and evaluating the movement of the subject based on the values for the one or more features in the second feature set. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

An integrated system for monitoring, tracking and recording activities of daily livings (ADLs) and safety and wellness conditions of subjects within the same or different locations of a confined area, comprising: alert signal generators, each alert signal generators receives signals from corresponding sensors and/or condition selectable switches disposed in where proximal to each of the subjects residing in the confined area for sensing motions, locations, and change in environmental and/or personal conditions of the corresponding subject or alarm signals actively or passively triggered by the subject, and being activated by said signals from the sensors; corresponding pairing devices physically connected to the alert signal generators for pairing with the corresponding alert signal generators to relay corresponding alert signals to a receiving device, and to receive one or more of responses, information, commands, and/or instructions from the receiving device.

A system for measuring electrical characteristics of bioparticles is described. The system comprises an incubator for performing electrochemical measurements in a defined environment and a substrate holder positioned in said incubator for holding a substrate comprising a plurality of wells. The system is furthermore configured for continuously or regularly measuring electrochemical data. The system also comprises a processing means for comparing the continuously or regularly measured electrochemical data with reference data and for determining a moment for adding an active compound based on said comparison.

A notification control device for controlling notification based on subject information is disclosed. The subject information including temperature image data, which indicates temperature of a subject captured within a predetermined capturing range, is received. A predetermined destination of notification information, which represents a state of the subject based on the subject information, is notified. A process of notifying the notification information to the predetermined destination is stopped depending on whether or not the subject information includes predetermined identification information.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide measures, including apparatuses, circuitry, methods and computer programs, for use in monitoring user activity. Orientation data for a user is generated. The generated orientation data is inserted into advertising packets of a wireless communication protocol. The advertising packets comprising the generated orientation data are broadcast according to the wireless communication protocol.
