Systems and methods to modify functions of computing devices based on movements and/or locations of users of such computing devices may include various types of sensors, such as movement sensors, imaging sensors, and location sensors. The sensor data may be processed by various algorithms to determine either or both of movement and location of the user within an environment. Then, based at least on the determined movement or location of the user, a particular function level may be selected for the computing device to ensure safety and environmental awareness of the user. In addition, one or more functions of the computing device may be modified, enabled, disabled, automated, alerted, or otherwise changed based on the selected function level.

Described herein are heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) systems and methods directed to indoor air quality. HVACR systems and methods are based on dynamic people modeling to simulate and/or to monitor airflow impact on pathogen spread in an indoor space. HVACR systems and methods model an indoor space with pathogen killing technology to deploy the pathogen killing technology. HVACR systems and methods are directed to control administration of a pathogen killing technology to an indoor space based on factors that impact airflow including from dynamic analytics, a known input, and/or detection.

Provided are techniques for detecting contamination propagation and performing decontamination. In response to receiving a request to detect contaminants and perform decontamination, an entity is identified. Whether there are contaminants on the entity is detected using any combination of sensor data, one or more images, and one or more contamination propagation patterns. In response to determining that there are no contaminants, the entity is allowed to pass through an entry point. In response to determining that there are contaminants, one or more decontamination techniques are identified, decontamination of the entity is performed, using the one or more decontamination techniques, and, in response to determining that the decontamination has been successful, the entity is allowed to pass through the entry point.

A system used by a child diagnosed with ADHD and including a wearable device equipped with motion sensors and optionally a location or GPS tracker as a safety feature and using cloud based technology to facilitate the transfer of information among users. Motion data is used for two main purposes: 1) to objectively measure hyperactivity levels on specific metrics and optionally to detect presence or absence of aggression; and 2) to track the child's sleep-wake patterns (given a high percentage of children with ADHD are known to have sleep disorders). Behavior feedback is provided in real time based on the data obtained. Additional sensors may also be used to aid the assessment of child's behavioral functioning and sleep-wake patterns.

Systems and methods for providing infant monitoring and support avoid image degradation, for x-ray imaging, related to sensors used for infant monitoring by separating an infant-supporting body from a sensor-carrying body. The sensor-carrying body, and with it any number of related sensors, is moved out of the way during x-ray imaging.

A method, a structure, and a computer system for assessing user mobility. The exemplary embodiments may include collecting mobility data corresponding to a user and extracting one or more low level features from the mobility data. The exemplary embodiments may further include extracting one or more clinical level features from the low level features and assessing one or more health conditions of the user based on applying one or more models to the one or more clinical level features.

A system and approach for integrating of health parameters from wearable cloud connected access control devices to provide life safety measures, and also for controlling access to facilities. A monitoring system may incorporate a device for a wearer or holder and a sensor at an entrance to or exit from a specified facility, and a processor connected to the sensor. The device may sense a parameter of the wearer or holder selected from a group of items incorporating heartbeat, blood pressure, blood oxygen, pulse rate, and body temperature. If the selected parameter indicates an abnormal or worsening condition, then the wearer or holder may obtain access to a hospital or health care facility. Health professionals may hold or wear a device that permits them to enter a restricted facility to aid a person within the facility needing medical assistance.

A sonar-based contactless monitoring system comprises a sonar system (308), a contactless sensing assembly (310), and a controller (302) configured to read out measurements transmitted by the sonar system and the contactless sensing assembly and calculate posture and activity of a subject. The sonar system may include a microphone (314) and a speaker (316), wherein the microphone is configured to sense a first acoustic signal in a frequency range associated with the sound and/or motion made by the subject, and a second acoustic signal in a frequency range associated with the reflection of an acoustic signal transmitted by the speaker. The contactless sensing assembly senses at least one of vital and environmental conditions, such as a heart rate, respiratory rate, activity, snoring, subject's position, and subject's movement, or noise level, weather condition, light exposure, time and radiation level.

One general aspect includes a bed having a mattress. The system also includes a sensor configured to: sense pressure of a sleeper on the mattress and transmit, to a controller, pressure data generated from the sensing of pressure of the sleeper on the mattress. The system also includes a controller may include a processor and a memory, the controller configured to receive the pressure data, identify, from the pressure data, one or more motion parameters, and determine, from the motion parameters, one or more neurologic measures of the sleeper. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

A bed apparatus includes: a mattress mounted on a bed body; and, first cells arranged on both left and right sides in a longitudinal direction of the bed body and is configured to change the body position of a patient on the mattress by inflating the first cells alternately. When the first cells on the left and right sides are inflated, and when a difference in pressure between the first cells on the left and right sides has continuously fallen within a decision pressure value range for a decision pressure value continuation time, the body position of the patient is changed, whereas when the difference has not continuously fallen within the pressure value range for the continuation time or when the difference has continuously fallen out of the pressure value range for the continuation time, change of the body position of the patient will not be performed.
