Systems and methods for determining a sedentary state of a user are described. Sensor data is collected and analyzed to calculate metabolic equivalent of task (MET) measures for a plurality of moments of interest. Based on the MET measures and a time period for which the MET measures exceed a threshold value, it is determined whether the user is in a sedentary state. If the user is in the sedentary state, the user is provided a notification to encourage the user to perform a non-sedentary activity.

Improved wiring arrangements for sensor catheters are provided to reduce wire-to-wire cross-talk wherein wires connecting the sensor of the sensor catheter to a processing unit are divided into a plurality of wire bundles contained within respective sheaths, with the wires in wire bundle twisted together reduce electromagnetic signal interference among the individual wires, or between wire bundles.

Methods, devices and system are provided. One method includes capturing activity data associated with activity of a user via a device. The activity data is captured over time, and the activity data is quantifiable by a plurality of metrics. The method includes storing the activity data in storage of the device and, from time to time, connecting the device with a computing device over a wireless communication link. The method defines using a first transfer rate for transferring activity data captured and stored over a period of time. The first transfer rate is used following startup of an activity tracking application on the computing device The method also defines using a second transfer rate for transferring activity data from the device to the computing device for display of the activity data in substantial-real time on the computing device.

A method and apparatus to facilitate learning while moving, efficient multitasking involving movement while the user processes or responds to different stimuli. The stimuli may include but are not limited to information related to education or entertainment or feedback concerning the user's movement. More specifically this movement may be related to coordination, exercise or physiotherapy. The methods and apparatuses of the disclosure involve the user conducting movement, while simultaneously processing information (via: learning; creating through typing, moving, or talking; or being entertained) and receiving feedback or assistance related to that movement, processing, or any combination thereof.

An action management apparatus includes a bodily information measurement unit that measures bodily information, a communication unit for performing near-field wireless communication with another apparatus having a function of measuring bodily information, a bodily information acquisition unit that acquires the bodily information measured by the other apparatus included in a group along with the action management apparatus via a communication unit, and an information output unit that, based on first bodily information measured by the bodily information measurement unit and second bodily information acquired by the bodily information acquisition unit, outputs management information for managing an action of a wearer of an apparatus belonging to the group.

There is provided a radio device, comprising: a Bluetooth circuitry configured to generate and advertise a Blue-tooth beacon signal having frame format according to the Bluetooth standard; a proximity communication circuitry configured to receive configuration commands wirelessly from a physically separate user device over a magnetic induction-based proximity communication; and at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer pro-gram code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the radio device to perform operations comprising: reconfiguring at least part of data content of the Bluetooth beacon signal on the basis of the received configuration commands, wherein the data content of the Bluetooth beacon signal is set to comprise at least physical activity related information.

Presented herein are techniques for stimulating a balance prosthesis recipient based on one or more motion signals and a classification of the type of activity in which the recipient is currently participating. More specifically, a balance prosthesis system is configured to monitor the motion of at least part of a recipient's body and to determine an activity classification for the recipient (e.g., determine the “class” or “category” of the recipient's real-time motion). The recipient's motion and the activity classification are used to generate stimulation signals for delivery to the recipient.

A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan, a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session, and a first computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user while the user uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; identify at least one aspect of the at least one measurement pertaining to the user associated with a first treatment device mode of the treatment device; determine whether the at least one aspect of the measurement correlates with a secondary condition of the user; and, in response to a determination that the at least one aspect of the at least one measurement is correlated with the at least one secondary condition of the user, generate secondary condition information indicating at least the secondary condition.

An inflatable belt 100 for use in a BFR system with an outer belt material 102 hermetically sealed to an inner belt material 101 along a perimeter, thereby forming at least one inflatable chamber 103, the inflatable chamber having an input port 104 for accepting a gas into the chamber, the inflatable belt further comprising a first fastening means 110 in communication with the outer belt material, for attaching to a second fastening means 111 in communication with the outer belt material, thereby locking a circumference of the inflatable belt, when wrapped around a user's limb, efficacy feedback means 200 for gathering efficacy feedback data 205, for use in prescribing, monitoring and adjusting one or more training parameters of a BFR training session and/or program based on evaluation of the efficacy feedback data.

We report method of detecting a pathological body state of a patient, comprising receiving a body signal of the patient; determining a body index from said body signal; determining an activity level of said patient; determining a value range for said body index for said patient, based at least in part on said activity level; comparing said body index to said value range; and detecting a pathological state when said body index is outside said value range. We also report a medical device system configured to implement the method. We also report a non-transitory computer readable program storage unit encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform the method.
