A state determination device includes: an extraction unit that extracts a face region representing a region corresponding to a face from each of a plurality of frames successively obtained by capturing images of a user's face, extracts face feature points representing parts of the face from the face region, calculates a face feature value extraction region as a region where a change occurs in the face region when the user is in an unawakened state based on the face feature points, and extracts a face feature value as a feature value from the face feature value extraction region; a state determination unit that determines whether the user is in the unawakened state or not based on the face feature value in each of the plurality of frames and previously generated determination information; and an output unit that outputs a determination result.

A diagnostic system is used for measuring and analyzing startle response of a subject for diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) such as concussions. The diagnostic system includes a stimuli delivery circuitry, whereby startle stimuli are delivered to the subject. The diagnostic system comprises at least one sensor circuitry, whereby the startle response of the subject are detected and recorded. The sensor circuitry comprises at least one muscle startle response measuring means, and said diagnostic system comprises a diagnosis circuitry whereby the features of the startle response are extracted and analyzed.

Methods and/or systems for diagnosing, monitoring and/or treating persons at risk for falling and/or other pathological conditions. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, people are diagnosed before they actually start falling. Optionally, the diagnosis includes trying out and identifying one or more fall triggers using virtual reality tools. Optionally or alternatively, treatment includes training the persons using situations and/or triggers which are determined to be relevant for that person.

Featured are intravaginal devices and methods of using the devices to observe the state of an individual's pelvic floor muscles in order to diagnose, treat, or prevent pelvic floor disorders (e.g., pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence) and their accompanying symptoms and methods of using the devices to treat or prevent vaginal disorders (e.g., skin laxity) in a subject using an energy transmitter (e.g., a radiofrequency transmitter). Also featured are algorithms to detect pelvic floor movements and physiological indicia from sensor data.

This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for managing pain in a subject. A system may include one or more sensors configured to sense from the subject information corresponding to emotional reaction to pain, such as emotional expression. The emotional expression includes facial or vocal expression. A pain analyzer circuit may generate a pain score using signal metrics of facial or vocal expression extracted from the sensed information. The pain score may be output to a user or a process. The system may additionally include a neurostimulator that can adaptively control the delivery of pain therapy by automatically adjusting stimulation parameters based on the pain score.

A neuromuscular sensing method includes transmitting an electrical stimulus from a distal end portion of an elongate stimulator extending within an intracorporeal treatment area of a subject and detecting an artificially induced response of at least two muscles of the subject in response to the transmitted electrical stimulus, each response being detected by a respective sensor in mechanical communication with the muscle. A graphical user interface (GUI) is transitioned from a first state to a second state; the first state indicating to the transmission of a stimulus with no artificially induced response detected, and the second state indicating the detection of the artificially induced response of the at least two muscles, and further identifying one of the at least two muscles as a primary muscle response.

A sensing device for detecting an artificially induced neuromuscular response within a limb of a subject includes a carrier material and a plurality of mechanical sensors. The carrier material is operative to be secured around a portion of the limb, and each of the plurality of mechanical sensors are coupled with the carrier material. Each mechanical sensor is positioned on the carrier material such that it is operative to monitor a mechanical response of a different muscle group of the limb. Each mechanical sensor then generates a respective mechanomyography output signal corresponding to the monitored mechanical response of its adjacent muscle group.
