The invention provides a surface analysis device for application to a receiving surface to enable analysis of at least one measure of an elasticity of said surface across multiple different linear stretches or sections of the surface. The device includes a two-dimensional arrangement of actuators and sensors, comprising at least one actuating element, at least one sensing element, and at least one further sensing or actuating element. Selected sets of two or more of these elements are activated together by a controller, each set including at least one actuator and one sensor, to thereby obtain a measure of elasticity between each actuator and sensor pair in the set. Elasticity measures are obtained based on stimulating a deformation in the receiving surface at the actuator site, and measuring a resultant pressure and/or force exerted by the receiving surface at a further displaced point. Sensors may monitor a change in the exerted pressure and/or force for example.

The present invention relates to a sensor for non-invasive optoacoustic measurements of biomechanical and/or morphological features of skin and/or other tissue.

Furthermore, a method for remote assessment is provided.

A strain sensor unit and a skin sensor module comprising the same are provided. The strain sensor unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a substrate having a through-hole, and including a first electrode and a second electrode formed at one side and the other side of the through-hole on one surface of the substrate, a piezoelectric device drawn from the first electrode and extending inward the through-hole, and a piezoresistor drawn from the second electrode and extending inward the through-hole, wherein the piezoresistor overlaps with a whole or part of the piezoelectric device.

A device for applying a composition to a skin of a face includes an end effector having a base portion and a protruding portion extending distally from the base portion. The protruding portion has a distal opening. The device also includes a detector arrangement obtaining image data corresponding to an image of an area of the skin through the distal opening and an applicator arrangement applying the composition to a location within the area. The device further includes a processing arrangement receiving and analyzing the image data to determine whether the applicator is aimed to safely dispense the composition to the area and whether a frexel within the area corresponds to a skin artifact, and directing the applicator to selectively apply the composition to the frexel when the applicator is aimed to safely dispense the composition to the area and the skin artifact is detected from the frexel.

The present invention relates to the reduction of tissue interface pressure. The present invention provides a method to immerse an individual to a desired depth into a support surface. The method of the present invention maintains a desired level of immersion over time independent of the motion of the individual or changes in the position of the support surface or externally applied loads to the support surface, alone or in combination. The method of the present invention is an improvement to using an individual's weight or height or other sensor to determine inputs to an algorithm for immersing the individual to a certain depth into the surface. No pressure measurements or displacement measurements are required in accordance with the present invention, and the height and weight of the individual is not required.

A head mounted medical device and an operating method are provided. The medical device includes an information acquisition module for acquiring physiological sign information of a patient and/or operation information; a remote communication module for communicating with an external wireless communication module, communicating includes transmitting a data collected by the information acquisition module to the external wireless communication module and receiving a data sent by the external transmission module; an information output module for displaying or sending the data sent by the external wireless communication module to the person wearing the medical device. The head mounted medical device can be used in emergency situations and can assist the rescuer wearing it to automatically obtain the patient's physiological status, automatic diagnosis from the device or remote diagnosis, remote guidance and tips etc., which greatly standardize the operations of first aid and thus improves the success rate of first aid.

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for personalized breast imaging. In aspects, a first set of patient attributes may be collected. The first set of patient attributes may relate to, or be used to determine, for example, breast size, breast thickness, and/or three-dimensional (3D) breast shape. The first set of patient attributes may be used to customize image acquisition parameters for the patient. A second set of patient attributes may also be collected. The second set of patient attributes may relate to, or be used to determine, for example, breast elasticity and breast density. The second set of patient attributes may be used to customize breast compression parameters for the patient. The customized image acquisition parameters and breast compression parameters may then be used to perform one or more procedures (e.g., an imaging procedure, a biopsy procedure, etc.) on the patient's breast.

A system having a scope with a longitudinal length extending between a proximal end and a distal end includes a plurality of markers spaced along the longitudinal length. The system also includes a disassociation and positioning device that is configured to enhance unsedated transnasal endoscopic procedures by at least partially occluding the vision of a patient while enabling body cavity access, and optionally record and sense body functions such as temperature, heart rate and oxygenation of the blood stream. The system further includes a sensor integrated into the distraction device, wherein the sensor is configured to detect the markers on the longitudinal length of the scope.
