Apparatus and method for user evaluation
A method includes providing one or more instructions to perform a first action associated with administration of a medication; obtaining first data representing a capture of a patient performing the first action based on the one or more instructions; extracting information about movements of the patient from the first data; presenting an image configured to induce an emotional response in the patient; obtaining second data representing capture of the patient performing one or more microexpressions within 250 milliseconds of presentation of the image; obtaining additional data including one or more of demographic information of the patient, information of a disease associated with the patient, or one or more characteristics of the medication; and based on the extracted information about the movements, the one or more microexpressions, and the additional data, determining a medical outcome including a progression of the disease in the patient.
System and method for detecting wrist-device wearing location
In one embodiment, an apparatus (12) that samples a signal obtained or derived from an accelerometer, filters the samples, accumulates the filtered samples, and determines which limb the apparatus is associated with based on a comparison of the filtered accumulated samples and a threshold set.
Sensing Health Parameters in Wearable Devices
Embodiments of this disclosure are directed to a wearable device having a housing, a display, and a sensor system. The display is at least partially surrounded by the housing. The sensor system is housed at least partially in the housing. The sensor system includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor is configured to contact a body part of a user and generate a first signal. The second sensor is configured to sense a mechanical wave in an ambient environment of the wearable device and generate a second signal. The controller is configured to generate a resultant signal by removing noise from the first signal using the second signal, and determine a health parameter of the user from the resultant signal.
Multi-sensor data collection and/or processing
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to the control and utilization of multiple sensors within a device. For an example, motion of a device may be detected in response to receipt of a signal from a first sensor disposed in the device, and a power state of a second sensor also disposed in the device may be changed in response to detected motion.
Controlling input/output devices
An electronic device is provided processor configured to: receive a biological signal of a user; detect whether the electronic device is attached to or detached from the user based on at least the biological signal; and control an I/O device operationally connected to the electronic device based on whether the electronic device is attached to or detached from the user.
Activity and workout updates
The present disclosure generally relates to navigating, viewing, and sharing activity and workout data and interacting with workout and/or activity applications. In some examples, scrolling of activity data is based on the content being displayed. In some examples, friends' activity data may be viewed. In some examples, a notification and workout data for a friend's completed workout is received and displayed. In some example, the activity data received from friends is viewed and managed. In some examples, workout data for a multi-segment workout is displayed in a three-dimensional stack on a map. In some examples, a workout application operates in a limited mode until a touch input is received with a characteristic intensity that is greater than a threshold intensity.
Positional obstructive sleep apnea detection system
An obstructive sleep apnea detection device including an optical engagement surface adapted to engage a user's skin; a light source adapted to emit light from the optical engagement surface; a photodetector adapted to detect light at the optical engagement surface and to generate a detected light signal; a position sensor adapted to determine patient sleeping position; a controller adapted to determine and record in memory blood oxygen saturation values computed from the detected light signal and user position information from the position sensor; and a housing supporting the optical engagement surface, the photodetector, the light source, the position sensor, and the controller.
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy using a mobile device
This document describes techniques and devices for Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy using a mobile device. A mobile device (502) includes a light source (504) that emits light toward an interferometer (508) that uses mirrors to separate and recombine the light. The interferometer directs the recombined light toward a person. Light reflected from, or transmitted through, the person is received through a reception port (506) to a photodetector (510) that outputs photodetector data that corresponds to a measured light intensity of the reflected and transmitted light as a function of a path length of the light or a mirror position of the interferometer. Based on the photodetector data, an interferogram is generated. Applying a technique such as a Fourier transform to the interferogram, a spectrum data set of the reflected and transmitted light is generated. Based on the spectrum data set, a concentration of solutes in the person's blood is calculated.
Automatic measurement using structured lights
Techniques for automatic measurement using structured lights are provided. A computer system uses structured lights to acquire skin information, the skin information being associated with at least one affected area of the skin. The computer system determines parameters related to the at least one affected area of the skin, at least partly, on the skin information and generates an assessment for the at least one affected area of the skin.
Stability evaluation system, program, and method
A stabilizing ability, so-called stability, according to a change in body motion of a wearer is to be appropriately evaluated to achieve effective training, coaching, and fitting of athletic equipment. Provided are a plurality of body motion sensors 40 that is attached to a wearer 1 or an arbitrary part of a barbell 1a to be used by the wearer 1 and is capable of detecting three-dimensional displacement or rotation of each part, a memory that records a detection result by the plurality of body motion sensors 40 as body motion data and stores index data holding a correlation between an amount of deviation from a stable reference value for evaluating reproducibility of body motion and an index for evaluating a stabilizing ability, an index calculation unit 117g that refers to the index data based on a reference value or a threshold acquired from the recorded body motion data and calculates the index for evaluating the stabilizing ability, and an output device that displays or outputs the index calculated by the index calculation unit 117g.
