A perioperative safety system embodying tools to assess, monitor and document traffic in the perioperative operating room setting to reduce risk of infection for a surgical patient by enforcing the reduction and elimination of unnecessary traffic in the operating room setting.

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.

According to an embodiment, an electronic device includes a camera, and at least one processor configured to: determine, from an image including a face of a user obtained via the camera, skin information indicating a skin condition of the user, generate control information for controlling a skin-care device to perform care based on the determined skin information and information regarding the skin-care device, and provide the control information to the skin-care device.

It is known in the art to use an apparatus to enhance the visual appearance of the veins and arteries in a patient to facilitate insertion of needles into those veins and arteries. This application discloses a number of inventions that add additional data collection and presentation capabilities to a handheld vein enhancement apparatus and a set of processes for the collection of blood and the delivery of IV medicines that use the handheld device to mediate the process.

A fluid sampling device and a method is provided for collecting body fluid samples such as blood without the intervention of medically trained personnel. The body fluid sampling device having a sample containment chamber made of a material having a thermal inertia permitting the maintenance of sample temperature over a known period of time. Optionally an isolating cover or sleeve may slide in place by a mechanism triggered by thermal contraction of an element after the device has reached a sufficiently low temperature in a patients refrigerator. Associated methods are provided to ensure hermetic transport of the collected body fluid sample to an analysis lab. Also disclosed is a device and app combination for drug or vaccine injection, the app including means to allow for verification of the patient's ID and/or the particular device used. The device my be equipped with geo-localization and long-range communication capabilities.

Described herein is a method of controlled exposure of ultraviolet (UV) rays to a user, with use of a UV exposure system comprising a camera unit, a UV source, and a microcontroller. The method includes capturing an image of the user; performing face recognition on the captured image to identify a user profile; obtaining information on dosage value delivered to the user in a defined amount of dosage time period; comparing the dosage value with a threshold value; and performing an action on the UV source based on the comparison. The action includes: activating the UV source if the dosage value is below the threshold value; and deactivating the UV source, if the dosage value is above the threshold value.

A system and method of monitoring sobriety using a hand-held breath testing device that, on receipt of a user's breath, generates a breath test signal comprising substance content data and user identification data, and wirelessly transmits the breath test signal to a breath test signal receiving station.

A method for performing authentication in a portable electronic device is provided. The method includes identifying whether a peripheral electronic device is located within a certain distance from the portable electronic device, receiving biometrics information from the peripheral electronic device when the peripheral electronic device is located within the certain distance from the portable electronic device, identifying whether the biometrics information received from the peripheral electronic device is identical to biometrics information stored in the portable electronic device, and releasing security set to the portable electronic device when the biometrics information received from the peripheral electronic device is identical to the biometrics information stored in the portable electronic device.

The present invention relates to the field of medical monitoring, and in particular non-contact, video-based monitoring of pulse rate, respiration rate, motion, and oxygen saturation. Systems and methods are described for capturing images of a patient, producing intensity signals from the images, filtering those signals to focus on a physiologic component, and measuring a vital sign from the filtered signals.

Proposed are a system and a method for supporting learning, which can increase learning attitudes and efficiency by determining a learning state of a learner by using learner's bio information and face recognition information and providing a feedback of lighting color, incense spray, and music output based on the learning state. The proposed system for supporting learning configures the learning state including a bio state and a learning focus based on the learner's bio information and the face recognition information during learning, and provides, to the learner, at least one feedback of lighting color change, illuminance change, incense spray, and sound source playback in accordance with the learning state.
