Discussed is a customized cosmetics provision system including a diagnosis device for diagnosing a skin condition, recommending customized cosmetics based on a diagnosis result of the skin condition, and transmitting information on the recommended customized cosmetics to a manufacturing apparatus, and the manufacturing apparatus that receives information on the customized cosmetics from the diagnosis device and provides the customized cosmetics based on the received information on the customized cosmetics. The diagnosis device can output a message to re-diagnose the skin condition when an environmental condition for diagnosing the skin condition do not meet a predetermined condition.

There is a skin analysis device for attachment to an electronic device of a human user, the electronic device having at least one skin characteristic measurement device, the skin analysis device comprising an enclosure comprising an enclosure body, configured to be removably connected to the electronic device and one or more skin characteristic measurement assisters, connected to the enclosure and configured to assist one or more skin characteristic measurement devices take a skin characteristic sample of a skin characteristic of the human user.

We provide a system that detects skin contact reactions to a set of allergens. During operation, the system enables a user to acquire an image of a patch area through a camera in a portable device, wherein the patch area is located on the skin of a patient, and wherein a patch containing the set of allergens was applied to the patch area for a period of time and removed before the image was acquired. Next, the system preprocesses the image so that a resulting preprocessed image of the patch area has a prespecified size and orientation. The system then performs image-processing operations on the preprocessed image to identify regions of the patch area corresponding to positive skin contact reactions. The system labels each identified region with a specific allergen that was applied to the region to produce test results, which identify specific allergens that produced positive skin contact reactions.

A method for quantitatively assessing muscle contraction and corresponding kits are described. The method can include assessing muscle contraction of a facial muscle by applying an external electrical stimulus to facial skin sufficient to contract a facial muscle, and measuring the contractile activity of the contracted facial muscle. The method can be used to determine the ability of a treatment material to reduce contraction of the facial muscle.

A skin detection device, including a processor and a texture recognition sensor, is disclosed. The texture recognition sensor is configured to detect surface texture of skin to be detected; and the processor is configured to determine surface smoothness of the skin to be detected according to the surface texture of the skin to be detected. The skin detection device can independently perform the health detection of the skin to be detected. A product information determination method, a product information determination device and a product information determination system are further disclosed.

A device for measuring a force exerted on a body comprises a flexible rod having a proximal end and a distal end intended to come into contact with the body and to apply a force tending to deform the body near a point of contact. The measuring device also comprises an image capturing device, which is rigidly attached to the proximal end and oriented toward the distal end of the flexible rod, for providing at least one depth map of the body near the distal end of the flexible rod. The device may be used to perform a method of measuring the force exerted on the body and a method of characterizing the rigidity of a body

Various techniques pertain to a user interface that includes an instructional display portion comprising one or more textual or graphical instructions pertaining to preparing for a body scan for body care of a client and a scan initiation display portion that includes a scan initiation widget which, when interacted by the client, invokes execution of a scan process and an analysis process for a respective body area of the client. The user interface further includes a scan result display portion including interactable textual or graphical information pertaining to a result of the body scan for the body care and an adjustment display portion having a plurality of adjustment widgets that transform at least a color index or value into a transformed color index or value in a L*A*B* color space or a Lch color space.

A wire-based three-pole sensor for subcutaneous insertion includes a working electrode including a first split wire having a first flat surface, and a support sheet on the first flat surface. The first flat surface is created from a full wire having a circular cross-section with a portion removed. A reference electrode includes a second split wire having a second flat surface. The second flat surface is defined by a second chord across a circular cross-section of the second split wire. A counter electrode includes a third split wire having a third flat surface. The third flat surface is defined by a third chord across a circular cross-section of the third split wire. The second and third flat surfaces face each other. A cross-sectional diameter of the first split wire, the second split wire, and the third split wire coupled together is less than an inner diameter of an insertion needle.

A probe device provides an enhanced bioelectric and spring-loaded sensing tip with an integrated force sensor. The probe device measures the bioelectric conductance value from a patient for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purpose using the spring-loaded sensing tip. In addition, the probe device measures the force applied by the spring-loaded sensing tip against the patient using the integrated force sensor. Using feedback from the force sensor and the bioconductive data of the patient, the force applied at the spring-loaded sensing tip may be adjusted to obtain improved results.

A computer system generates a computer-guided personal care routine based at least in part on a digital model of a user's face. In an embodiment, a computer system generates the model based on one or more images or scans of the user's face, and generates a computer-guided personal care routine based on the model, environmental data (e.g., temperature data, humidity data, pollution data, UV radiation data), and user data. In an embodiment, a routine generated on this basis includes multiple steps to be carried out using a computer-controlled skin care device as well as user prompts related to execution of such steps that are configured to be presented in a user interface. In an embodiment, the computer-guided routine includes one or more operational settings (e.g., brush head speed, cleansing duration) for the computer-controlled skin care device that are automatically set at appropriate times according to the generated routine.
