A portable system is provided for measuring an analyte, such as acetone, in the breath or other bodily fluid of a user. The system includes a portable measurement device that analyzes fluid samples and generates corresponding measurements. The portable measurement device communicates with an application which runs on a smartphone or other mobile device of the user, and the application reports measurement data to a remote system.

Methods for capturing medical images associated with a patient using a mobile image-capturing device are disclosed. One example method includes accessing patient identifying information. A user may launch a scan application installed in the mobile image-capturing device by visually scanning a machine-readable optical label, which may also authenticate the user. Upon accessing the scan application, the scan application may be provided with the patient identifying information scanned from the machine-readable optical label, and one or more details of the patient based on the patient identifying information scanned from the machine-readable optical label may be displayed at an interface of the scan application. The scan application may capture medical images using an imaging equipment of the mobile image-capturing device, associate the captured images with the patient identifying information, and transmit the captured images with the patient identifying information to a storage location.

Systems and Methods for determining a physiological parameter are disclosed. The physiological sensing device can measure a physiological parameter, determine a mood based on the physiological parameter, and render one or more songs associated with the mood.

A portable terminal case having a skin condition-measuring function is disclosed. The case includes a battery case; a bumper case coupled to the battery case; a moisture measurement unit for receiving moisture level information in the skin of a user from a moisture measurement sensor; a contact detection unit for receiving information on the presence or absence of a contact between the bumper case and the skin from a contact detection sensor; an environment measurement unit for receiving surrounding environment information from an environment information measurement sensor; and a control unit for collecting the moisture content and the environment information from the moisture measurement unit and the environment measurement unit.

Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable systems and devices that can detect allergic reactions. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable device is included having a control circuit, a microphone, and a sensor package. The ear-wearable device can be configured to evaluate at least one of signals from the microphone, signals from the sensor package, signals from an external sensor, and contextual factor data, and detect an allergic reaction based on the evaluation. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable device system is included having a first ear-wearable device and a second ear-wearable device. In an embodiment, a method of predicting or detecting the onset or presence of an allergic reaction with an ear-wearable system is included. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Example systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for using data collected from the responses of an individual with the computerized tasks of a cognitive platform to derive performance metrics as an indicator of cognitive abilities, and applying predictive models to generate an indication of neurodegenerative condition. The example systems, methods, and apparatus also can be configured to adapt the computerized tasks to enhance the individual's cognitive abilities, and for using data collected from the responses of an individual with the adapted computerized tasks to derive performance metrics and applying predictive models to generate the indication of neurodegenerative condition.

A method for using saliva to measure at least one substance or physiological parameter of a human or animal subject may involve inserting a first end of a sensor into a handheld saliva testing device. The method may also involve receiving saliva from the subject on a second end of the sensor, moving the saliva from the second end of the sensor to the first end, and processing the saliva with the handheld saliva testing device to provide initial saliva data related to the at least one substance or physiological parameter of the subject. In some embodiments, the sensor remains inserted in the handheld device while the subject deposits saliva on the opposite, free end of the sensor.

System and methods for controlling healthcare devices and systems using voice commands are presented. In some aspects a listening device may receive voice command from a person. The voice command may be translated into human readable or machine readable text via a speech-to-text service. A control component may receive the text and send device-specific instructions to a medical device associated with a patient based on the translated voice command. In response to the instructions, the medical device may take an action on a patient. Some examples of actions taken may include setting an alarm limit on a monitor actively monitoring a patient and adjusting the amount of medication delivered by an infusion pump. Because these devices may be controlled using a voice command, in some cases, no physical or manual interaction is needed with the device. As such, multiple devices may be hands-free controlled from any location.

An analyte sensor system is provided. The system includes a base configured to attach to a skin of a host. The base includes an analyte sensor configured to generate a sensor signal indicative of an analyte concentration level of the host, a battery, and a first plurality of contacts. The system includes a sensor electronics module configured to releasably couple to the base. The sensor electronics module includes a second plurality of contacts, each configured to make electrical contact with a respective one of the first plurality of contacts, and a wireless transceiver configured to transmit a wireless signal based at least in part on the sensor signal. The system includes a first sealing member configured to provide a seal around the first and second plurality of contacts within a first cavity. Related analyte sensor systems, analyte sensor base assemblies and methods are also provided.

A method of providing workout training for a user of an activity tracking system includes displaying a plurality of training plan options to the user on a screen of a personal electronic device, and then receiving a selected training plan option from the user. Selected workout day options are received from the user and the system generates a training schedule for the user based on the selected training plan and the selected workout day options. One or more reminders identify the type of workout for the scheduled day and an option to accept or reject the workout. When the user selects the option to accept the workout, the workout goal associated with the scheduled workout is displayed. The method further includes determining progress toward the workout goal based on the received workout data, and displaying an indicator of progress toward the workout goal on the screen during the workout.
