A method for determining an emotional state of a subject includes receiving the motion based physiological signal associated with a subject, the motion based physiological signal including a component related to the subject's vital signs, and determining an emotional state of the subject based at least in part on the component related to the subject's vital signs.

A test is administered using a device responsive to touch for measuring the saccadic eye movement of an individual that has suffered some sort of trauma (impact or shaking) to the head, and comparing this measurement (post-trauma measurement or post-trauma CQ score) with a previous measurement taken prior to the impact (baseline measurement or baseline CQ score). The comparison yields a value test performance value resulting in a conclusion that the individual may be suffering from a concussion or that the individual is not in a concussive state. The test's accuracy is enhanced by (1) performing periodic baseline readings which are updated as the individual advances with age, (2) the near real-time of the post-trauma measurement in relation to when the trauma occurred, and (3) the automatic determination and transmission of objective test results resulting from a touch screen system which can be transmitted to a networked physician.

A controller detects a cyclic cardiac event of the patient based on a signal obtained from one or more electrodes configured for placement on or near a diaphragm, and delivers an electrical stimulation therapy to a diaphragm of the patient through the one or more electrodes. The delivery of electrical stimulation therapy is timed to the detection of the cyclic cardiac event, and the electrical stimulation therapy is defined by stimulation parameters. The controller monitors a pressure associated with the intrathoracic cavity of the patient based on a signal provided by a pressure measurement source configured to provide a signal indicative of a pressure within an intrathoracic cavity, to determine whether an adjustment of one or more of the stimulation parameters is warranted.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for monitoring characteristics of a subject. A system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a sensor subsystem including at least one respiratory sensor disposed proximate to the subject and configured to detect a respiratory characteristic of the subject, wherein the sensor subsystem is configured to generate and transmit at least one respiratory signal representing the respiratory characteristic, and at least one physiological sensor disposed proximate to the subject and configured to detect a physiological characteristic of the subject, wherein the sensor subsystem is configured to generate and transmit at least one physiological signal representing the physiological characteristic, and a processor subsystem in communication with the sensor subsystem, the processor subsystem being configured to receive at least one of the at least one respiratory signal and the at least one physiological signal.

A system and method for determining physiological parameters based on electrical impedance measurements is provided. One method includes obtaining electrical measurement signals acquired from a plurality of transducers coupled to a surface of an object and spatially pre-conditioning the obtained electrical measurement signals. The method also includes performing multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) analog to information conversion (AIC) of the spatially pre-conditioned electrical measurement signals to correlate the spatially pre-conditioned electrical measurement signals to separate the electrical measurement signals.

According to one implementation, the system includes, a capturing unit, a deforming unit, and a generating unit. The capturing unit captures a dynamic state of a thoracic portion to generate a plurality of frame images. The deforming unit sets a reference point in a position corresponding to each other among the plurality of generated frame images. The deforming unit extracts a lung field region from each of the frame images. The deforming unit deforms a shape of the lung field region so that a distance from the set reference point to an outline of an outer side of the lung field region becomes a certain distance. The generating unit analyzes a dynamic state in the lung field region and generates an analysis result image showing a result of the analysis in a corresponding position in the deformed lung field region.

Disclosed are a monitor subject monitoring apparatus, a monitor subject monitoring method, and a monitor subject monitoring system configured to determine a first body state of a subject, based on an image data of the subject, and to determine a second body state of the subject, based on physiological data of the subject, wherein the subject monitoring apparatus, the subject monitoring method and the subject monitoring system are operable, when it is determined that one of the first and second body states of the subject is not abnormal, to re-perform a corresponding one of the determinations, and then determine whether or not a notification indicating that the subject is in an abnormal state should be issued, based on a result of the re-performed determination about the one of the first and second body states.

The present invention will provide a measuring device embedded within an elastic garment that will provide detect bodily movement by deforming a conductive material and measuring the change in electrical quantities within the conductive material as it deforms. Furthermore, the present invention will provide a measuring device configured to incorporate machine learning algorithms to estimate physiological, kinematic, dynamic, psychological, physical, biological, or other health parameters based upon the variations in electrical quantities within the conductive material as it deforms. This is accomplished through an elastic textile, a conductive element embedded within the elastic textile, and an electronic device configured to measure electrical quantities of the conductive element. These elements work in conjunction to detect and monitor movement in the human body.

The present invention provides a new non-invasive technique for organ, e.g., heart and lung, monitoring. In at least one embodiment of the invention, a subject is radiated with a non-harmful and relatively low power electromagnetic source diagnostic signal normally associated with a communications protocol such as, but not limited to a version of the IEEE 802.11(x) family of protocols in the 2.4, 3.6, or 5 GHz spectrum bands. After passing through the patient, a return signal is acquired from the patient and compared to the original source signal. The differences between the source and modified signals are then analyzed to monitor the heart, e.g., measure heart rate and detect defects within the heart, and the lung. For example, using Doppler Effect principles, heart rate and motion can be measured from the differences in frequency, phase, and/or wavelength between the source signal and the modified signal reflected back from the heart moving within the patient.
