A health status platform includes a receiving component that receives a test result a test of a biological sample collected from a human patient. The test result includes an indication of a presence of an infectious disease in the patient, and an identification and a verification of the patient. The platform includes a certificate component that issues a certificate of origin of the biological sample; and a data merging component that cooperates with a venue access manager that controls access to a venue. The data merging component implements a distributed ledger system that stores encrypted test results of the patient and the identification and verification of the patient, and an end-to-end encryption system that receives an encrypted venue access request from a venue access manager, decrypts the access request, determines if an access request is valid, and if valid, provides an encrypted certificate of origin to the venue access manager.

The present invention relates to an accessory device (20) for an image-capturing device (10) for capturing a skin image of a subject's skin comprising a tubular member (21) having a first opening (22) at its first end (23) configured to surround a light source (11) and an image sensor (12) included in the image-capturing device (10) and a second opening (24) at its second end (25) configured to surround a skin portion (101) and two mirrors (26, 27) arranged within the tubular number (21) at its second end (25), wherein a first mirror (26) is arranged to retied light (30) emitted by the light source (11) towards the skin portion (101) and a second mirror (27) is arranged to reflect light (31) reflected from the skin portion (101) towards the image sensor (12). The accessory device can be coupled to an image-capturing device to acquire an image of a skin portion, which is evaluated to determine a skin parameter, such as skin gloss.

A handheld ophthalmic device configured to perform various optical diagnostic tests to determine the health of a subject's eye. The handheld ophthalmic device is configured to be attached to a smartphone, a cell phone or an electronic tablet. The smartphone, a cell phone or an electronic tablet can be used to view images obtained by the handheld ophthalmic device and to transmit data and images obtained by the handheld ophthalmic device to an ophthalmologist located remotely.

Methods, computer-readable media, systems, and/or apparatuses for providing offer and insight generation functions are provided. For instance, user input may be received requesting generation of an offer. In response to receiving the request, an application may be transmitted to a device, such as a mobile device of a user. In some examples, the application may be executed by the device and may facilitate establishing a communication session with a third party system, identifying and extracting data from the third party system, and transmitting the extracted data to an entity for evaluation. In some examples, evaluation by the entity may include generating one or more insights, outputs and the like. In some arrangements, the evaluation may be performed using machine learning and, in some examples, may be performed in real-time or near real-time.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for predicting a neurological injury to a participant in an activity. The activity can be, for example, an athletic activity that involves repeated, high-impact collisions between participants. Sensor data reflecting interactions between participants in the activity is received from various wearable and non-wearable sensors. The sensor data is evaluated in conjunction with a baseline neurological risk profile of a participant to determine a likelihood that the participant has suffered a potential neurological injury. If this likelihood meets a threshold risk level, an onsite request/response test is initiated to glean more information relating to the participant's condition. Response data associated with the onsite test is cognitively evaluated to determine an updated likelihood of neurological injury to the participant and a follow-up action is determined based on the updated likelihood of neurological injury.

An electronic device according to various embodiments may comprise: a memory storing instructions; at least one biometric sensor; a display; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the stored instructions in order to: obtain biometric information of a user related with the electronic device by using the at least one biometric sensor; obtain first data indicating a cardiovascular state of the user from the biometric information; obtain second data indicating a relative difference between the first data and reference data indicating a cardiovascular state in a resting state of the user; and display, by using the display, an indication for indicating a health status of the user, on the basis at least of the second data.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed that allow a patient to self-treat a medical condition, such as migraine headache, by electrical non-invasive stimulation of a nerve, such as the vagus nerve. A nerve stimulator is configured for coupling to a mobile device configured to receive a wireless signal, such as a mobile phone. The stimulator is further configured to generate an electrical impulse and to transmit the electrical impulse through one or more electrodes and the outer skin surface of the patient to modulate a nerve within the patient.

Described herein are methods, systems, and software for monitoring blood pressure. In some embodiments, a using a mobile device is used. The blood pressure monitoring system utilizes heart rate measurements at two separate locations on the body to calculate a differential pulse arrival time which is used to estimate blood pressure. The heart rate measurements can be taken simultaneously, or they can be taken sequentially while simultaneously taking ECG measurement. If taken sequentially, the heart rate measurements are aligned with the ECG to determine the differential. Accurate, inexpensive, and discreet blood pressure monitoring is thus provided.

Embodiments disclosed herein enable enhanced communication with an application service provider. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, in a user communication device, collecting medical telemetry of a user of the user communication device. Upon identifying at least one abnormality in the medical telemetry, the method provides determining that the at least one abnormality indicates that the user is experiencing a health issue based on identifying a lack of non-medical telemetry indicating a reason, other than the health issue, for the at least one abnormality. In response to determining that the at least one abnormality indicates that the user is experiencing the health issue, the method provides initiating a real-time user communication from the user communication device to a contact center.

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%.
