The disclosed systems and methods include displaying disease trigger icons within a disease trigger map in a GUI, where the disease trigger map corresponds to a particular disease symptom, and where the position and size of a particular trigger icon within the trigger map based one or more of (i) the degree or strength of a statistical association between the trigger icon's corresponding disease trigger and the disease symptom, and (ii) a cumulative frequency and/or amount of exposure to the trigger icon's corresponding disease trigger. Some embodiments also include displaying a patient population disease trigger map one or more relationships between (i) one or more disease triggers and (ii) one or more patients of the patient population. Some embodiments may further include facilitating communication and/or disease trigger information sharing among patients.

Skin-mounted or epidermal devices and methods for monitoring biofluids are disclosed. The devices comprise a functional substrate that is mechanically and/or thermally matched to skin to provide durable adhesion for long-term wear. The functional substrates allow for the microfluidic transport of biofluids from the skin to one or more sensors that measure and/or detect biological parameters, such as rate of biofluid production, biofluid volume, and biomarker concentration. Sensors within the devices may be mechanical, electrical or chemical, with colorimetric indicators being observable by the naked eye or with a portable electronic device (e.g., a smartphone). By monitoring changes in an individual's health state over time, the disclosed devices may provide early indications of abnormal conditions.

A measurement apparatus includes a contact unit for contacting with a test site, a biological sensor for acquiring a biometric output from the test site, an inclination detection unit for detecting an inclination of the measurement apparatus, and a controller. The controller generates biological information based on the biometric output from the biological sensor when the inclination detected by the inclination detection unit falls within a predetermined angular range in a state where the test site is in contact with the contact unit while supporting the measurement apparatus in an inclining manner.

A method for analysing an image of a lesion on the skin of a subject including (a) identifying the lesion in the image by differentiating the lesion from the skin; (b) segmenting the image; and (c) selecting a feature of the image and comparing the selected feature to a library of predetermined parameters of the feature. The feature of the lesion belongs to any one selected from the group: colour, border, asymmetry and texture of the image.

Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart device-based radar system capable of detecting human vital signs using a compact circularly-polarized antenna. A radar system includes at least one compact circularly-polarized antenna with a patch antenna and a quadrature hybrid coupler. The quadrature hybrid coupler is on a separate plane that is above or below the patch antenna. By vertically stacking the patch antenna with the quadrature hybrid coupler, lateral dimensions of the radar system can be reduced relative to other antenna configurations or designs. The quadrature hybrid coupler can also have a ring-shape design to improve isolation and polarization purity of the compact circularly-polarized antenna relative to a rectangular design. The compact circularly-polarized antenna enables a radar system operating at frequencies between approximately 1 gigahertz (GHz) and 24 GHz to be implemented within a variety of small smart devices.

The present disclosure generally relates to managing user interfaces associated with physical activities. The user interface displays a scrollable list of affordances associated with physical activities. The affordances may contain physical activity and heart rate information. A user can launch a physical activity tracking function or an interface to change a workout metric using an affordance. Users can also control the music that is played in response to selecting a workout. Further, the interface can be used to compose a reply message to a received message that contains workout information. The interfaces can show a graph that includes heart data when the user's heart rate meets a heart rate alert criteria.

A method for calculating range of motion of a patient's jointed limb includes providing one or more locators at an upper limb of the jointed limb, and one or more of the locators at a lower limb of the jointed limb. A first image of the patient's joint in a fully extended position a second image of the patient's joint in a fully flexed position are captured with an imaging device. The method includes identifying positions of the locators of both the first image and the second image, and determining an extended angle of the patient's joint based on the identified positions of the locators of the first image. The method includes determining a flexed angle of the patient's joint based on the identified positions of the locators of the second image. The method includes determining a range of motion angle based on the extended angle and the flexed angle.

A mobile device based multi-analyte testing analyzer for use in medical diagnostic monitoring and screening, and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. A reflectance based, colorimetric test strip reader for use with a mobile device having a jack plug receiving socket, said test strip reader adapted for removably receiving a test strip having a test strip longitudinal axis, comprising a housing; a jack plug operably coupled to and extending from said housing and adapted for operable coupling with said jack plug receiving socket; a test strip adapter including structure defining a test strip receiving channel; a light source oriented within said housing for directing light toward said test strip receiving channel to illuminate a test strip arranged within said test strip adapter; and a light sensor oriented within said housing to sense light reflected from a test strip carried by said test strip receiving channel.

This disclosure describes a portable electronic device that includes a first housing component having an exterior-facing surface and an interior-facing surface; and a second housing component cooperating with the first housing component to define an interior volume. A seal fills an interface between the first and second housing components. Electrically conductive material that forms an electrically conductive pathway extends across portions of the interior and exterior-facing surfaces of the first housing component. The electrically conductive pathway is configured to transmit and/or receive signals or power between an exterior and interior of the portable electronic device.

Provided is a contactless internal measurement device including an electromagnetic wave irradiation unit that irradiates an electromagnetic wave to a measurement subject, and an electromagnetic wave receiver that detects the electromagnetic wave reflected by the measurement subject. The electromagnetic wave irradiation unit is disposed to reduce a polarization component of the electromagnetic wave detected by the electromagnetic wave receiver, the polarization component being the same as a polarization component of the electromagnetic wave irradiated by the electromagnetic wave irradiation unit.
