A method for guiding deep breathing may include receiving a request from a user to initiate a deep breathing exercise on a user-controlled device. The method may include monitoring deep breathing using one or more sensors on an ear-worn device in response to initiating the deep breathing exercise. Examples of sensors include at least one of a motion detector, a microphone, a heart rate sensor, and an electrophysiological sensor. The method may further include initiating an end to the deep breathing exercise. The method may be used with various hearing systems including an ear-worn device and optionally a user-controllable device, such as a smartphone.

A system includes a memory, an optical subsystem, an audio system, a plurality of sensors outputting sensor data, a communication circuitry and a processor. The processor is configured to input to a baby-specific behavioral state detection machine learning model, image data, audio signal data, sensor data, and baby-specific personal data associated with a baby, to receive an output from the baby-specific behavioral state detection machine learning model that the baby is hungry, to transmit instructions that causes a foodstuff preparation controller to prepare at least one foodstuff in preparation to feed the at least one baby based on the determination that the at least one baby is hungry.

This invention discloses an electronic device for measuring physiological parameters of a living subject including at least a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a second IMU, the first IMU and the second IMU are time-synchronized to and spatially and mechanically separated from each other; and a microcontroller unit (MCU) electronically coupled to the first IMU and the second IMU for processing of data streams from the first IMU and the second IMU.

A medical device (20) includes a case (26) of a size and shape suitable to be held in a hand (24) of a subject (22). An acoustic transducer (36) is disposed in the case and configured to output an acoustical signal in response to acoustic waves that are emitted from a thorax of the subject and received through the front surface of the case when the subject holds the case against the thorax. One or more sensors (46, 48, 50) are disposed on the case and configured to acquire one or more physiological signals from one or more fingers (30) of the subject while the subject holds the case in the hand. Processing circuitry (40) is contained in the case and coupled to receive and process the acoustical signal and the one or more physiological signals and to output data indicative of a medical condition of the subject.

Methods and apparatus for monitoring a human or animal subject are disclosed. In one arrangement, measurement data representing a time series of measurements on a subject is received. The measurement data is represented as a mathematical expansion comprising a plurality of expansion components and expansion coefficients. First and second partial reconstructions are performed using first and second subsets of the expansion components. First and second spectral analyses are performed on the first and second partial reconstructions to determine first and second dominant frequencies. A frequency of a periodic physiological process is derived based on either or both of the first and second dominant frequencies.

A method for correcting magnetic resonance (MR) object movements includes performing a recording of an MR object with multiple echo trains. k-space data pertaining to an echo train regarded as impaired by an MR object movement is corrected by linking the k-space data to corresponding k-space data reconstructed from k-space data of other echo trains by a PPA method.

A system for navigating to and interacting with a region of interest during a respiratory cycle is provided. The system includes an extended working channel, a computing device including a memory and at least one processor, a plurality of images stored in the memory, a display device that displays a user interface. The user interface includes at least one image of the plurality of images depicting the region of interest and a progression of the extended working channel through the airway, and a probability diagnostic and/or treatment zone defining a probable distribution of a trajectory of the tool once deployed beyond an opening of the extended working channel displayed in the at least one image. The respiratory cycle is divided into inhalation and exhalation. The user interface is configured to depict movement of the region of interest and the airways during the respiratory cycle.
