Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus for treating a medical condition of a patient, involving detecting a physiological cycle or cycles of the patient and applying an electrical signal to a portion of the patient's vagus nerve through an electrode at a selected point in the physiological cycle(s). The physiological cycle can be the cardiac and/or respiratory cycle. The selected point can be a point in the cardiac cycle correlated with increased afferent conduction on the vagus nerve, such as a point from about 10 msec to about 800 msec after an R-wave of the patient's ECG, optionally during inspiration by the patient. The selected point can be a point in the cardiac cycle when said applying increases heart rate variability, such as a point from about 10 msec to about 800 msec after an R-wave of the patient's ECG, optionally during expiration by the patient.

SYSTEM, SENSOR AND METHOD FOR MONITORING HEALTH RELATED ASPECTS OF A PATIENT

A method is provided for detecting an undesirable event or condition in a patient. The method may comprise receiving a first input signal from an UWB radar configured to monitor an environment occupied by the patient and including information representative of the patient's motion. Data derived from the first input signal is processed using a pattern recognition model to detect and classify patterns in the data derived from the first input signal as indicative or predictive of an undesirable event or condition involving the patient. When a pattern is classified as indicative or predictive of an undesirable event or condition in the patient an alarm is issued. A log of data derived from the first input signal and associated with a detection of a pattern classified as indicative or predictive of an undesirable event enables further machine learning in order to create an updated pattern recognition model based on individual patient behavior.

The present invention discloses a brain activity analysis method and apparatus, which is based on a nonlinear waveform decomposition technology, wherein the changes of the intrinsic features in brain waves are decomposed and demodulated to extract the modulation signals of the components, including the frequency-modulation signals and the amplitude-modulation signals. The present invention further uses a feature mask to determine whether to proceed further decomposition and demodulation of the extracted modulation signals. If not, the multidimensional changes of the intrinsic features are obtained according to the feature mask. Then, quantitation and identification is performed to obtain the status of brain function. The present invention not only effectively increases the accuracy of the identification but also uses the feature mask to obviously reduce the complexity and the load of computation.
