The present disclosure provides devices, systems, and methods for the prognosis and management of diseases and conditions. In particular, the present disclosure provides devices, systems, and methods directed to a toilet apparatus for the automatic tracking of a subject's urination and bowel movements to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and conditions.

A load detector for detecting a load of a subject on a bed (BD) having a caster (CT) includes: a plate portion (1) which is one-fold and which is to be supported above an installation surface (F), on which the load detector is installed, separately from the installation surface; and a slope portion (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4) which is provided around the plate portion and which is inclined relative to a surface of the plate portion so as to extend between the surface of the plate portion and the installation surface. The plate portion includes: a peripheral part (13); a placing part (11) on which the caster is to be placed, and which is provided inside relative to the peripheral part separately from the peripheral part; and a linking part (12) which links the placing part and the peripheral part. The load detector further includes a strain sensor (G) attached to the linking part, and the slope portion includes at least two pairs of slopes (SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4) each including a pair of slopes opposed to each other such that the placing part is interposed between the pair of slopes.

Disclosed herein is an automated urinary output monitoring system including urine collection assembly that includes a first drainage tube coupled between a urinary catheter and an interim container, and a second drainage coupled between the interim container and a final container. A scale measures the weight of urine collected in the final container and a display depicts the volume of urine collected in the final container. A vacuum pump can be coupled with the final container to draw urine from the interim container into the final container, and an air vent can isolate the patient from the vacuum within the final container. The system can be configured to wirelessly transmit urine volume data to an external computing device. A gyroscope can be coupled with the scale to determine the orientation of the scale. Logic of the system can calculate urine volume and correlate with the time of day.

A patient support apparatus comprises a plurality of load cells, a frame supported on the load cells, a mattress, a plurality of air pressure sensors, and a control system. The mattress includes a plurality of inflatable zones positioned on the frame, the mattress and frame cooperating to direct any patient load through the mattress and frame to the load cells. Each of the plurality of air pressure sensors measures the pressure in a respective inflatable zone of the mattress. The control system includes a controller operable to receive a separate signal from each of the plurality of load cells and each of the plurality of air pressure sensors and process the signals to identify motion of the patient. A motion classifier assesses major and minor motions based on the amplitude and frequency of patient movement and determines a mobility score for the patient.

Devices and methods for determining item-specific information for single or multiple items on one or multiple substrates are described. The method includes generating multiple sensor multiple dimensions array (MSMDA) data from multiple sensors, where each of the multiple sensors capture sensor data for one or more items in relation to a substrate. For each item, the method includes determining relationships between the multiple sensors based on characteristics of the MSMDA data, determining a location of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, determining an angular orientation of the item on the substrate based on at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, and determining a body position of the subject on the substrate based at least the determined relationships between the multiple sensors, the location of the subject, and the angular orientation of the item.

A system and method for monitoring and auditing the patient's health care compliances in order to detect bedside patient's information such as bed sores, oral health care, insertion of invasive devices, patient positions etc. The system employs visual sensors such as lidars, IR cameras etc. for observing the patients. The system also uses machine learning algorithms that use the bedside patient information into pre-trained models so as to monitor, trace and diagnose patient histories by the caretakers.

A patient support apparatus comprises a plurality of load cells, a frame supported on the load cells, a mattress, a vibration sensor, and a control system. The mattress includes a plurality of inflatable zones positioned on the frame, the mattress and frame cooperating to direct any patient load through the mattress and frame to the load cells. The control system includes a controller operable to receive a separate signal from each of the plurality of load cells and the vibration sensor and process the signals to identify motion of the patient.

Methods and systems are provided for obtaining cleaned sequences showing trajectories of movement of a center of gravity and for estimating a biometric information pattern or value of a target. One of the methods includes removing noises from initial sequences showing trajectories of movement of a center of gravity to obtain the cleaned sequences. Another one of the methods includes reading cleaned sequences of the target into a memory, extracting features from the cleaned sequences, and estimating a biometric information pattern or value of the target from the extracted features, using a classification or regression model of biometric information patterns or values. The biometric information pattern may be a pattern derived from respiratory or circulatory organs of a target.

The present invention provides a weighted article for assisting sleep, wherein the weighted article includes heating and cooling means. The weighted article is perforated by a series of channels, which contribute to the weight of the weighted article and allow the passage of a fluid that is continuously pumped throughout the weighted article while the weighted article is in use. The weighted article is connected to a control unit including means to thermoelectrical heat or cool the fluid such that a user of the weighted article is able to increase or decrease their body temperature.

A method includes causing display, during a first time period and via a first set of multiple smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user associated with the first set of multiple smart mirrors, without displaying a workout video. The method also includes causing display, during a second time period following and mutually exclusive of the first time period, and via a second set of multiple smart mirrors, of a workout video and a representation of at least one user associated with the second set of smart mirrors. The method also includes causing display, during a third time period following and mutually exclusive of the second time period, and via a third set of multiple smart mirrors, of live video depicting at least one user associated with the third set of multiple smart mirrors.
