A wearable device supports continuous wearability and operation with a supplemental set of removable and replaceable batteries that recharge a first set of batteries powering the device. In an aspect, the wearable system includes a head portion coupled to an appendage of a user, where the head portion includes an electronic system powered by a first set of batteries, and a modular housing releasably engageable to the head portion that includes a second set of batteries. In this manner, the modular housing can be removed and recharged independent from the head portion, and then recoupled to the head portion to recharge the first set of batteries. Thus, in an aspect, the first set of batteries can continuously power the electronic system without a need for removal of the head portion. Such a system can be particularly advantageous for continuous, uninterrupted health and fitness monitoring.

A measuring instrument attachment assist device which includes: a coordinate detector which detects coordinates of predetermined feature points from an image obtained by capturing an image of a subject; a conversion parameter calculator which calculates a projection conversion parameter for converting the coordinates of the feature points in a model image into the coordinates obtained by the detection; a designating unit which designates a position of a measuring instrument attached to the subject in the model image; a coordinate converter which converts a coordinate of the position designated by using the designating unit, by using the projection conversion parameter; and a display which displays the coordinate obtained by the conversion by the coordinate converter, on the image obtained by the capturing.

The present invention provides a carotid physiological parameter monitoring system, comprising: an electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring device, a carotid pulse wave detector, and at least one controller. The ECG monitoring device is disposed on a user's left and right wrists or on the user's chest to obtain ECG waveforms. The carotid pulse wave detector is disposed on the user's neck at a position corresponding to the user's carotid arteries for obtaining carotid pulse waveforms. The controller is provided in at least one of the ECG monitoring device, the carotid pulse wave detector, and a mobile device, wherein the controller is configured to obtain the user's carotid physiological parameter(s) (which may include carotid pulse wave velocity or carotid blood pressure) by calculating with the ECG waveforms and/or the carotid pulse waveforms.

There is provided an apparatus for positioning a front sensor and/or a back sensor across a thorax of a target individual, the apparatus comprising: a back positioning element comprising: a collar sized and shaped for fitting to a shoulder line and base of a back of a neck of the target individual, and an elongated element having a first end region connected to the collar, and a second end region with a location marker set to correspond to a target anatomical feature of the spine of the target individual, wherein when in use, the elongated element is positioned parallel to and over a long axis of a spine on the back of the target individual, and at least one front sensor and at least one back sensor are positioned on the thorax of the patient relative to the back positioning element for transmitting to and/or sensing from the target region.

The present invention relates generally to the field of providing personalized health management to users, particularly for users suffering from obesity and obesity-related medical conditions, in order to enhance weight loss through a smart belt that is optimally positioned around the user's waist, and which facilitates weight loss and mindfulness through feedback delivered via the smart belt.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed to establish sensor locations on a human's body. A reference plane structure establishes a measurement datum. A plurality of fixtures is provided. Each fixture of the plurality contains at least one sensor and provides a tensile preload to the at least one sensor. A first fixture of the plurality is supported by the reference plane structure. A location on the human's body is associated with each sensor. Each location on the human's body is established using the measurement datum and a contact point of each sensor. The plurality is articulated together to conform to a shape of the human's body such that, when in use, each sensor is in contact with the human's body, and each location is defined by the measurement datum and a contact point of each sensor.

Systems and methods for positioning one or more sensors on a user. The system has user sensors, apparatus sensors, and treatment sensors. A processing device, executing computer readable instructions stored in a memory, cause the processing device to: generate an enhanced environment representative of an environment; receive apparatus data representative of a location of the apparatus in the environment; generate an apparatus avatar in the enhanced environment; receive user data representative of a location of the user in the environment; generate a user avatar in the enhanced environment; receive treatment data representative of one or more locations of the treatment sensors in the environment; generate, treatment sensor avatars in the enhanced environment; calculate a treatment location for each treatment sensor, wherein the treatment location is associated with an anatomical structure of a user; and generate instruction data representing an instruction for positioning the treatment sensors at the treatment location.

Methods and apparatuses, including devices and systems, for remote and detection and/or diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In particular, described herein are handheld and adhesive devices having an electrode configuration capable of recording three orthogonal ECG lead signals in an orientation-specific manner, and transmitting these signals to a processor. The processor may be remote or local, and it may automatically or semi-automatically detect AMI, atrial fibrillation or other heart disorders based on the analyses of the deviation of the recorded 3 cardiac signals with respect to previously stored baseline recordings.

An apparatus for estimating bio-information is provided. The apparatus for estimating bio-information includes: a pulse wave sensor configured to measure a pulse wave signal from an object; a force sensor configured to measure force exerted between the object and the pulse wave sensor; and a processor configured to obtain an oscillogram by using the pulse wave signal and the force, to determine a first mean arterial pressure (MAP) based on the obtained oscillogram, to extract additional information in an interval preceding a point of the first MAP of the oscillogram, to obtain a second MAP based on the first MAP and the additional information, and to estimate bio-information based on the obtained second MAP.
