A catheter force control system including: a hand-held catheter force control device including: a base sized to be hand-held; a cover reversibly fastened to the base in a closed position; a sheath clamp coupled to the base, the sheath clamp capturing a sheath handle to immobilize the sheath handle relative to the base, the sheath clamp is an aperture formed in corresponding abutting edges of the cover and the base, the aperture being formed when the cover and the base are in the closed position; a catheter clamp capturing a catheter, a remote end of the catheter configured to deliver an ablation therapy; the catheter clamp aligned to be substantially co-axial with the sheath clamp; and a linear actuator effecting linear motion of the catheter clamp relative to the sheath clamp; a force sensor located at the remote end of the catheter, the remote end configured for contact with a target tissue, the force sensor detecting real-time contact force data; a controller for receiving the real-time contact force data and for generating and communicating a control signal to the linear actuator to minimize a difference between the real-time contact force data and a preset desired contact force during ablation therapy delivery to the target tissue, the control signal adjusting a position of the linear actuator to compensate for a disturbance of the remote end contact with the target tissue.

A biological state monitoring system (100) for monitoring a biological state of a subject on a bed (BD) over a predetermined monitoring period, includes: at least one load detector (11, 12, 13, 14) configured to detect a load of the subject on the bed; and a respiratory rate estimating unit (34) configured to successively obtain and output estimated values of a respiratory rate of the subject, based on a temporal variation of a detection value of the load detector. The monitoring period includes a body motion period in which the subject has a body motion, and a resting period in which the subject merely performs a respiration. In a case that the monitoring period shifts from a first resting period to the body motion period and then from the body motion period to a second resting period, the respiratory rate estimating unit outputs, in the body motion period and a predetermined period starting from the shifting from the body motion period to the second resting period, a last estimated value which is the latest among the estimated values obtained successively in the first resting period.
