Medical device alert, optimization, personalization, and escalation
11741798 · 2023-08-29 · ·

An alert is used to inform a user that their blood glucose level has dropped below a threshold (e.g., the user is hypoglycemic) or has increased above a threshold (e.g., the user is hyperglycemic). There is a hierarchy of alerts from lowest priority to highest priority. The alert is communicated by a user device (e.g., a mobile device), which is, for example, a smartphone, smart watch, home automation device, or the like. The alert is modified in order to increase the likelihood that the user receives or acknowledges the alert within a minimal amount of time. An intensity level (e.g., a volume) of an alert is modified based on, for example, whether the user has acknowledged a previous alert. A modality or a sensory channel of an alert is changed if an initial alert does fails to elicit a response from the user.

Safety monitoring apparatus and method thereof for human-driven vehicle
11334066 · 2022-05-17 · ·

A safety monitoring apparatus and method thereof for human-driven vehicle are provided. The safety monitoring apparatus includes a sensing unit, a processing unit, and a warning unit. The sensing unit and the warning unit are electrically connected to the processing unit, respectively. The sensing unit is arranged on a steering member of the human-driven vehicle and is used for sensing whether the steering member is in contact with a hand of a driver and generating a sensing signal accordingly. The processing unit determines whether the hand of the driver is placed on the steering member. The warning unit is used for generating a safety warning message. When the processing unit determines that the hand of the driver has not been placed on the steering member according to the sensing signal, the processing unit drives the warning unit to generate the safety warning message to warn the driver.

System-level interactions and behaviors are classified, predicted and optimized using neural networks and other artificial intelligence systems through selective deployment, as well as hybrids and combinations of the artificial intelligence systems, neural networks, expert systems, cognitive systems, genetic algorithms and deep learning.

Health safety system, service, and method

A health safety method executed by a processor includes receiving, by the processor, from a medical facility, a certificate of vaccination for a particular disease for an individual, the vaccination conferring immunity to the individual for the disease; receiving by the processor an access request from a venue for the individual; and responding to the venue access request by providing a health safety certification including the certificate of vaccination for the individual and an effective date range of the certificate of vaccination.

BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, FRAUD MEASUREMENT DETERMINATION METHOD, FRAUD MEASUREMENT DETERMINATION PROGRAM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

In an alcohol detection system (10), an authentication server (16) receives camera image information acquired by a camera (32) shooting an image of an indication ID displayed on a display (22) of an alcohol detection device (12) and a device ID sent from the alcohol detection device (12). The authentication server (16) then determines whether a person to be measured is performing alcohol detection using the alcohol detection device (12) an image of which has been shot by the camera (32) or not based on the indication ID indicated by the camera image information and the device ID sent from the alcohol detection device (12).

DETERMINING BIOMETRIC DATA USING AN ARRAY OF INFRARED ILLUMINATORS

Methods, devices, and systems related to determining biometric data using an array of infrared (IR) illuminators are described. In an example, a method can include projecting a number of IR dots on a user using a dot projector and an array of IR illuminators, capturing an IR image of the number of IR dots using an IR camera, comparing a number of pixels of the captured IR image to a number of corresponding pixels of a baseline IR image using a processing resource, and determining biometric data of the user at least partially based on comparing the captured IR image to the baseline IR image using the processing resource.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING STROKE SYMPTOMS
20220133174 · 2022-05-05 ·

A stroke detection system analyzes images of a person's face over time to detect asymmetric changes in the position of certain reference points that are consistent with sagging or drooping that may be symptomatic of a stroke or TIA. On detecting possible symptoms of a stroke or TIA, the system may alert caregivers or others, and log the event in a database. Identifying stroke symptoms automatically may enable more rapid intervention, and identifying TIA symptoms may enable diagnostic and preventative care to reduce the risk of a future stroke.

Vehicle and method for controlling the same

A vehicle may include: a feedback device; a bio-signal sensor configured to measure a bio-signal of a user; and a controller operatively coupled to the feedback device and the bio-signal sensor, the controller including a memory configured to store at least one program instruction and processor configured to execute the at least one program instruction.
