[Object] To provide a technology capable of accurately inferring emotions of a living body.

[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes: a control unit. The control unit separates a perspiration signal into a first fluctuation component and a second fluctuation component and corrects the second fluctuation component on the basis of the first fluctuation component.

A method of measuring noninvasive blood pressure includes determining a window for pulse detection for a patient, receiving a pressure signal measured from a measure sensor in a blood pressure cuff, and setting a pulse detection period for each heart beat based on the window and a heart beat indicator indicating at least one heart beat time for the patient. The pressure signal is then examined within each pulse detection period to identify a pressure peak therein. A blood pressure for the patient is determined based on the pressure peaks detected in the pressure signal.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for assessing a state of an epilepsy disease or a comorbidity thereof are provided. The methods comprise receiving at least one autonomic index, neurologic index, stress marker index, psychiatric index, endocrine index, adverse effect of therapy index, physical fitness index, or quality of life index of a patient; comparing the at least one index to at least one reference value; and assessing a state of an epilepsy disease or a body system of the patient based on the comparison. A computer readable program storage device encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform the method described above is also provided. A medical device system capable of implementing the method described above is also provided.

Disclosed in the present disclosure is a method, system and apparatus for prediction, estimation and prevention of occurrence of agitation episode in a subject predisposed to agitation. The method comprises receiving, from a first monitoring device attached to a subject, physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject and activity data of the subject; receiving, from a computing device, a plurality of indications associated with a plurality of agitation episodes of the subject; analyzing, using at least one machine learning model, the physiological data, the activity data, and the plurality of indications to determine a probability of an occurrence of an agitation episode of the subject; and sending a signal to a second monitoring device to notify the second monitoring device of the probability of the occurrence of the agitation episode of the subject such that treatment can be provided to the subject to decrease sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject.

An alignment tool helps a patient position a chest-worn sensor device, such as a device for daily at-home monitoring of cardiopulmonary health conditions. The alignment tool includes a sensor connector that engages with the sensor device and a strap. The strap includes a first portion that has a protruding region sized to fit into the patient's suprasternal notch. The strap includes a second portion that engages with the sensor connector. The sensor connector and the first portion of the strap with the suprasternal notch protrusion are separated by a configurable length. A healthcare provider may set the length based on the distance between the patient's suprasternal notch and heart.

This invention relates to an ingestible drug delivery device configured for wireless communication with other ingestible drug delivery devices.

A system and method are described for controlling a vehicle interior environmental condition. A biometric sensor senses a biometric condition of a vehicle seat occupant and generates a sensed biometric condition value. A controller receives the sensed biometric condition value, a sensed interior environmental condition value, and a sensed exterior environmental condition value. Each of multiple exterior environmental condition values has an associated biometric condition value defined as optimal for the vehicle occupant. The controller determines the optimal biometric condition value associated with the sensed exterior environmental condition value, compares the optimal biometric condition value to the sensed biometric condition value, and in response to a difference between the optimal biometric condition value and the sensed biometric condition value, generates a control signal to control an actuator to control the controllable interior environmental condition to reduce the difference between sensed biometric condition value and the optimal biometric condition value.

A system for detecting salt ion concentration, comprising a device further comprising a sensor having a carbon printed electrode on a flexible substrate with adhesive on one side (backside) and the circuit electronics to generate pulse signal stimuli and measure salt concentrations to determine hydration level of a person or a living being, wherein the device is a wearable device. The electrode can be made into different shapes changing the area as necessary, since it is a carbon printed electrode and is flexible.
