Using personalized physiological parameters for sleep/wake detection
11701055 · 2023-07-18 · ·

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for accurately determining sleep and wake onset based on a user's personalized physiological parameters for sleep and wake. First, a user is determined to be asleep using population level data. Thereafter, sensor collected data is used to determine the user's distribution of values of a physiological parameter when the user is asleep. This distribution of values is then used, instead of population-level data, to determine the user is asleep in real-time. As a result, the content and interventions are provided to help users get back to sleep. Further, the described techniques allow more accuracy in determining sleep statistics which can guide recommended interventions and therapies.

Systems and methods to determine a risk factor related to dehydration and thermal stress of a subject

Systems and methods to determine a risk factor related to dehydration and thermal stress of a subject are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: generate output signals, by one or more sensors worn on a body of a subject, conveying information related to one or more of location of the subject, motion of the subject, temperature of the subject, cardiovascular parameters of the subject; store information related to the subject; obtain the output signals; determine in an ongoing manner, from the output signals, values of a water loss metric that correlates with estimated percentage of bodyweight of the subject lost in water; obtain heat index information for a contextual environment surrounding the subject; determine in an ongoing manner, from the output signals, values of an exertion metric that correlates with exertion of the subject due to work; and determine in an ongoing manner values for an aggregated risk factor of the subject.

20230012734 · 2023-01-19 · ·

Systems and methods for monitoring acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) are described. An indicator of workload is received from a device worn or carried by a user. An acute workload is determined for the user based on the received indicator of workload over a first period of time. A chronic workload is determined for the user based on the received indicator of workload over a second period of time, where the first period of time is shorter than the second period of time. A current ACWR is determined for the user based on the acute workload and the chronic workload.

DETECTION OF PHYSICAL ABUSE OR NEGLECT USING DATA FROM EAR-WEARABLE DEVICES

A system may obtain a set of features characterizing a segment of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data generated by an IMU of an ear-wearable device. The system may apply a machine learning model (MLM) that takes the features characterizing the segment of the IMU data as input. The system may determine, based on output values produced by the MLM, whether a user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse. The system may then perform an action in response to determining that the user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse.
