The electrodes capture data indicative of the cardiac health of the user. The circuit board includes a microphonic sensor, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, and a microcontroller. The microphonic sensor and IMU sensor capture cardiac health data. The microcontroller transmits cardiac health data to the handheld electronic device.

A measurement apparatus for measuring biological information includes a sensor that executes selectively at least a first detection mode or a second detection mode, and a controller. The controller controls switching to the second detection mode based on output of the sensor while the sensor is in the first detection mode.

Described herein are methods and apparatuses to obtain an image, or a set of images, of a patient's teeth from one or more predetermined viewing angles. These methods and apparatuses may include the use an overlay comprising an outline of teeth for each predetermined viewing angle. The overlay may be used for automatically capturing, focusing and/or illuminating the teeth. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for using a series of images of the patient's teeth including a set of predetermined views to determine if a patient is a candidate for an orthopedic procedure.

Systems, methods, and other techniques for estimating the level of an analyte present in a patient during a time interval using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The estimate can be improved using information about the patient's posture.

Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device according to an embodiment includes a memory and a processor electrically connected with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to obtain an identification of a portion of the media data and a sequence of heart rate (HR) data of a user of the electronic device while the portion of media data is output, and store, in the memory, the identification of the portion of the media data when the HR data sequence satisfies a specified condition.

The present disclosure provides a system that quantitatively tracks an individual's diet and exercise using smart devices (phones, watches, and other wearables). Unlike existing programs, which work in energy units (calories), the present system works in mass units (grams) and satisfies the fundamental physics law of conservation of mass. Food ingested is tracked as well as exercise in order to place the user on a quantitative, custom diet that safely and effectively results in weight loss. In addition to rigorously treating the problem of weight loss by addressing the physics that underlies diet and exercise, the system empirically learns about the user over time such that performance may be optimized.

Example apparatus are provided to measure characteristics of a test strip. The apparatus may include an accessory for a mobile device to measure characteristics of a test strip. The accessory may include a mobile device adaptor and a test strip adaptor. The mobile device adaptor may include a first sheath and a second sheath coupled to the first sheath to secure the mobile device. The test strip adaptor may be detachably coupled to the mobile device adapter. The test strip adaptor is configured to receive different types of test strips.

An electronic device includes a light emitter emitting visible light, an infrared emitter emitting infrared light, at least one detector detecting an electromagnetic wave, and at least one processor configured to obtain a user input to obtain spectral data of a target object, in response to obtaining the user input, emit the visible light by using the light emitter and emit the infrared light by using the infrared emitter, obtain a first reflected signal of the visible light reflected by the target object and a second reflected signal of the infrared light reflected by the target object, using the at least one detector, and generate the spectral data of the target object based on the first reflected signal and the second reflected signal.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for dynamic starting rates for guided breathing. According to an aspect, a user's initial breathing metric is determined. A multiplier is then determined, where the multiplier varies as a function of the initial breathing metric within a range. The level of intensity of the multiplier may vary, and may be a dynamic feature based on the determination of the user's initial breathing metric. Once the multiplier is determined, the multiplier is applied to the user's initial breathing metric to determine a starting breathing metric for guided breathing. The starting breathing metric is slower than or equal to the user's initial breathing metric.
