Systems, devices, and methods are provided to facilitate the implementation of a “proning protocol” to improve a clinical outcome for a person having SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) or other condition that may benefit from spending time in the prone position. For example, a system may include a mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, etc.) providing a proning application configured to manage a configuration and implementation of a proning protocol for a person and configured to receive sensor data from (a) a wearable sensor device secured to the person and including sensor(s) (e.g., accelerometer(s)) that monitor the person body position, and/or (b) other sensor(s) that monitor other physiological parameters relative to the proning protocol. The proning application may determine and output feedback to manage the person's position based at least on the received sensor data and defined parameters of the proning protocol.

The present invention relates to providing guiding information for operating an X-ray imaging system. In order to provide an improved positioning distance control facilitating the work flow, an X-ray imaging system (10) is provided, comprising a moveable X-ray source (12) and/or a moveable X-ray detector (14). The system further comprises a plurality of object-surface detecting sensors (16), a positioning detection arrangement (18), a processing unit (20), and a display unit (22). The sensors are arranged such to detect object data of objects located between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector. The positioning detection arrangement is provided to detect the current position of the X-ray source and/or the X-ray detector and the position of the sensors. The processing unit is configured to compute a situation-map (26) of the current spatial situation between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector based on the object data provided by the sensors and the current position, the situation-map distinguishing at least between empty spaces and spaces occupied by rigid objects. The situation-map comprises a representation (25) of the X-ray source and the X-ray detector in relation to the spatial situation. Further, the display unit is configured to display the situation-map to a user operating the X-ray imaging system.

The present disclosure relates to a positioning system suitable for use in an imaging system. The positioning system may include one or more cameras configured to capture images or videos of an imaging object and surrounding environment thereof for ROI targeting or patient position recognition. The positioning system may also include one or more position probes and sources configured to determine an instant location of an imaging object or an ROI thereof in a non-contact manner.

The invention provides a method and a system of monitoring a subject. The method comprises the steps of monitoring, from a first angle of detection, a space in which the subject is located to obtain data of the subject from a first perspective view in accordance with the first angle of detection; converting the obtained data of the subject into a three-dimensional data set; processing the three-dimensional data set to create an image of the subject from a second perspective view, said second perspective view being created at a second angle different from the first angle of detection; and analyzing the created image from the second perspective view to determine, calculate, or select one or more characteristics relating to activity of the subject being monitored.

Various apparatuses for use in a wireless network are disclosed. A first apparatus comprises two antennae oriented orthogonally, a biosensor capable of reading a user's fingerprint, and a housing comprising a groove for guiding a user's finger, the groove physically separating the antennae, effectively creating a radome for each antenna. A second apparatus comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) a port, a shell enclosing the PCB, and at least one horseshoe gasket, the shell and gasket creating a waterproof seal isolating the port and the external environment from the rest of the PCB. A third apparatus comprising a bracket for attaching a housing to a building material, an aiming annulus for aiming the housing and the housing. Wherein two or more of the bracket, aiming annulus and housing may be joined in order to mount and aim the housing using one or more structures on the components.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for configuring a medical device for a medical procedure. The systems may perform the methods to initialize a gantry angle of a medical device of a new scan. The systems may also perform the methods to obtain a pre-set gantry angle associated with the new scan. The systems may also perform the methods to determine whether the initialized gantry angle is consistent with the pre-set gantry angle. The systems may also perform the methods to adjust the initialized gantry angle of the medical device to the pre-set gantry angle in response to a determination that the initialized gantry angle is inconsistent with the pre-set gantry angle.

A method, an apparatus and a computer program for capturing optical image data of patient surroundings and for identifying a patient check-up. The method (10) for capturing optical image data of patient surroundings and for identifying a patient check-up on the basis of the image data includes detecting (12) the patient on the basis of the image data. There is a detecting (14) of at least one further person on the basis of the image data and determining (16) at least one geometric relation between the patient and the at least one further person. The determining (16) of the geometric relation includes determining an orientation or a viewing direction of the at least one further person in relation to the patient. The method further includes identifying (18) the patient check-up on the basis of the geometric relation.

A smart cage includes radiofrequency transceivers and tags attached to laboratory animals. The tags include sensors to detect monitorable conditions of the laboratory animals. The sensors include working electrodes, counter electrodes, reference electrodes, and potentiostats. The top surface of the electrodes is coated with ionophores or enzymes which detect the monitorable conditions of the laboratory animals.
