A state determination method, a state determination device, a state determination system, and a recording medium are provided for determining a state of a living body based on electrical signal according to a detected vibration. A state determination device 2 acquires electrical signal according to a detected vibration, and operates: a rectification unit (step S2); an envelope detection unit to derive an envelope from the rectified electrical signal (step S3); and a state determination unit to determine the state of the living body based on the derived envelope (step S4). The state determination device 2 that has determined the state of the living body outputs a determination result (step S5).

Present invention provide a system and a method for recording, evaluating, screening and monitoring life style associated Non-communicable diseases related data of a subject via an Integrated Medical Device (IMD) in real time, and sharing the same on a server, either local or cloud based, for fast, active sharing of data by remote users anytime anywhere.

A furniture system includes an office productivity structure (OPS). The furniture system also includes a sensor coupled to the OPS, the sensor operable to detect occupancy of the OPS and generate an output signal indicative of the occupancy; and a processor coupled to the sensor. The processor is operable to receive the output signal generated by the sensor, determine, based on the output signal, that the OPS is occupied, and, in response to determining that the OPS is occupied, generate a command to initiate at least one action associated with the OPS or an operator of the OPS.

A smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized, wherein the smartphone device is configured to actively control the configuration of one or more bladders, compartments, chambers or internal sipes and one or more sensors located in either one or both of a sole or a removable inner sole insert of the footwear of the user and/or located in an apparatus worn or carried by the user, glued unto the user, or implanted in the user. The one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, or sipes, and one or more sensors are configured for computer control. A sole and/or a removable inner sole insert for footwear, including one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, internal sipes and sensors in the sole and/or in a removable insert; or on an insole; all being configured for control by a smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized.

A system and a method are described for monitoring a medical care environment. In one or more implementations, a method includes identifying a first subset of pixels within a field of view of a camera as representing a bed. The method also includes identifying a second subset of pixels within the field of view of the camera as representing an object (e.g., a subject, such as a patient, medical personnel; bed; chair; patient tray; medical equipment; etc.) proximal to the bed. The method also includes determining an orientation of the object within the bed.

A toilet system comprising a bowl and an outlet, the toilet system being adapted for discerning between types of excretion excreted by a user of the toilet system, where the toilet system comprises at least one first sensor device configured to capture at least one signal indicative of a type of excretion excreted by a user of the toilet system, and at least one second sensor device configured to capture at least one signal indicative of a quantity of excretion excreted by a user of the toilet system.

A device for gathering vital sign and other heath indicator data. The device is constructed to register with a person’s anatomical structure in a predictable fashion, and to include integrated sensors positioned to register with specific anatomical portions of the person. Accordingly, relevant data and assessment may be performed passively, e.g., during physical contact/engagement of the patient with the sensors of the device, which may be for, example, a chair or other piece of furniture in which the patient may sit. The device may analyze gathered sensor data and draw clinical assessment conclusions. Data analysis may be done at the device, or remotely. Vital sign/data and/or assessment conclusions may be displayed to the caregiver only, e.g., via a display device or via an EHR or other computing system receiving data from the device. A separate display screen may display information to the patient for entertainment or instructive purposes.

A urinary output measuring system includes a system module, a fluid collection bag, and a pressure measurement tube having an open end disposed at the bottom interion of the fluid collection bag. The bag is configured to receive urine from a patient as delivered via a urinary catheter. The system module includes a pressure sensor, an air pump, and a valve. Processors perform operations of the system as defined by logic. A manifold defines fluid communication between the tube, the air pump, the pressure sensor, and the valve. Operations and methods include purging fluid from the tube, determining a pressure within the tube, and converting the pressure to a volume of urine within the bag. The bag includes a vent having includes a sterilizing filer and a hydrophobic membrane. The system module is configured to couple with a bed and suspend the bag.

Personal thermal stability control herein provides for personalized temperature regulation dependent upon biometric sensor feedback, sleep stage, and so on, particularly for sleeping users, predicting and preemptively responding to fluctuations indicative of thermal stability, resulting from such things as transitions between sleep stages, hot flashes, night sweats, and general thermal instability. Specifically, in one embodiment, a system herein may comprise: an on-demand cooling system; one or more biometric sensors configured to monitor one or more corresponding indicators of thermal stability of a user; and a controller configured to: a) receive the one or more corresponding indicators of thermal stability of the user; b) predict an onset of a thermal instability of the user based on the one or more corresponding indicators of thermal stability of the user; and c) activate the on-demand cooling system to counteract the predicted onset of a thermal instability of the user.

A child safety seat checking system for a child safety seat of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, is comprised of at least one child safety seat, a first checking device for checking whether a child is located in the child safety seat, and a second checking device for checking whether a person supervising the child is present, wherein the second checking device is designed to operate in an at least partly portable manner in an operating state of the child safety seat checking system and/or is designed to operate regardless of an on/off state of the vehicle.
