A robot is disclosed. The robot comprises: a body including a transport means; a head disposed on the body and including a plurality of sensors; and a processor which controls the head on the basis of at least one sensor among the plurality of sensors and acquires information related to a user's health through the sensor of the controlled head.

Presented are systems and methods for the accurate acquisition of medical measurement data of a body part of patient. To assist in acquiring accurate medical measurement data, an automated diagnostic and treatment system provides instructions to the patient to allow the patient to precisely position a medical instrument in proximity to a target spot of a body part of patient. For a stethoscope examination, the steps may include utilizing object tracking to determine if the patient has moved the stethoscope to a recording site; utilizing DSP processing to confirm that the stethoscope is in operation, utilizing DSP processing to generate a pre-processed audio sample from a recorded audio signal; using machine learning (ML) to determine if a signal of interest (SOI) is present in the pre-processed sample. If SoI is present, using ML to evaluate characteristics in the signal which indicate the presence of abnormalities in the organ being measured.

A fall prevention device comprising at least one sensor operable to detect a user has woken up while they are still within a bed and a notification unit operable to output a fall prevention warning to a user in response to the detection. By detecting when a user wakes up, rather than when they physically get out of bed, the device allows a fall prevention warning to be provided in advance of the user getting up. This warning can relate to a variety of different things (for example, warning the user to take their time before getting up, or to use the necessary aids), all in aid of reducing the likelihood of the user falling when they get up. The device thereby reduces the chances of a fall.

Systems and methods are provided for detecting mental fatigue by a user of an Information Handling System (IHS). Upon the user initiating operation of the IHS, activity by the user and physiological parameters of the user are monitored using capabilities of the IHS and, in some cases by wearable devices. Estimates of the user’s mental fatigue during the session are generated based on the monitoring. Embodiments identify when the user takes a break from operating the IHS and also identify when the user resumes use of the IHS. Upon the user resuming the session, the user is prompted for their level of mental fatigue prior to taking the break, thus providing a reliable source of feedback data that is utilized in updating and improving machine learning models that are used to generate the estimates of the user’s mental fatigue based on observed physiological parameters and activity by the user.

A photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor configured to be worn on a user's body, the PPG sensor comprising: a sensing portion comprising an optical emitter configured to emit an emitted light toward the user's body, and an optical detector for detecting a detector light reflected or scattered from the tissue, such as to provide a PPG signal; and an interfacing portion comprised between the sensing portion and the user's body, the interfacing portion comprising a transparent interface element through which the emitted light is transmitted when travelling from the optical emitter toward the body, and through which the detector light is transmitted when travelling from the body to the optical detector, wherein the transparent interface element has an interface transmittance; the transparent interface element comprising an antireflective interface being configured such that an antireflective interface transmittance of the transparent interface element comprising the antireflective interface is larger than the interface transmittance by at least 4%.

A system, method and apparatus for diagnosis and therapy. Preferably, the system, method and apparatus is provided for diagnosis and therapy of neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits by using a computational device. Optionally and preferably, the system, method and apparatus track one or more physical movements of the user, which are then analyzed to determine whether the user has one or more neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits. Additionally or alternatively, the system, method and apparatus induce the user to perform one or more physical movements, whether to diagnose such one or more neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits, to treat such one or more neurological and/or neuromuscular deficits, or a combination thereof.

In an aspect of the invention, a method of identifying sensory inputs affecting working memory load of an individual is provided. The method comprises monitoring (S101) working memory load of the individual using a sensor device, detecting (S102) an increase in the working memory load of the individual, and identifying (S103), in response to the detected increase, at least one sensory input affecting the working memory load of the individual.

The present disclosure is related to a detecting device which includes a fixing component, a sensing component, and a terminal. The fixing component is fixed to an object under test and generates a first magnetic field. The sensing component includes a driving module and a reference module. The driving module generates a second magnetic field, and the driving module further generates a sensing signal according to an electromagnetic induction produced by the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field. The reference module is spaced from the driving module by a distance, such that the reference module is outside of the second magnetic field and generates a reference signal. The terminal produces detection information according to the sensing signal and the reference signal.

Described herein is an apparatus for monitoring various physiological parameters of a user. The apparatus may be in the form of a shopping cart, so as to allow a user to obtain e.g., an ECG measurement while they are using the shopping cart. The apparatus may comprise an electrode assembly including a set of electrodes to perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) by sensing an electrical signal corresponding to heart activity of a user when in contact with skin of the user and output the electrical signal. The apparatus may further include a converter assembly to convert the electrical signal to a modulated signal, and a transmitter to transmit the modulated signal. The apparatus may transmit the modulated signal to a computing device which may receive the modulated signal and determine whether the electrical signal indicates that the user is experiencing a heart condition.

An eyewear device that includes a frame and two arms extending distally from the frame with at least one processor included on the frame or the arms and at least two proximity sensors disposed within the frame or arms in a directional manner. The proximity sensors include an infrared signal receiver to receive an infrared emission. The processors execute an operation to warn a person wearing the eyeglasses by emitting a signal selected from a sound, light or vibration when the proximity sensor detects an infrared emission.
