Detecting infection using personalized criteria
A triage system that determines whether a user is likely to have contracted a disease based on sensor data received from a user device (e.g., a smartphone or activity tracker). Some symptoms are identified by comparing sensor data to a predetermined baseline and comparing the difference to a predetermined symptom threshold. Those comparisons are weighted to form a composite metric, which is compared to a composite threshold to determine if the user is likely to have contracted the disease. Because different individuals are at higher risk of contracting certain diseases, the determined based on specific characteristics of the user (e.g., potential comorbidities, age, gender, ethnic, racial, cultural, or economic status, geographic location, level of interaction with other individuals, etc.) that that have been identified in medical literature as increasing the individual's risk.
Vein thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment system
A vein thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment system that includes a casing having a shape adapted to secure a plurality of components with the casing. The casing includes a microphonic sensor, a Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, a diaphragm, and a microcontroller. The microphonic sensor captures VTE audio signals indicative of the VTE risk of the user. The PPG sensor measures blood volume changes in a skin area in response to venous hemodynamic changes in a lower limb. The IMU sensor captures seismic signals indicative of the VTE risk of the user. The diaphragm enhances auscultation signals. The microcontroller transmits data to a computing device.
DIGITALLY COACHED SPIROMETRY SYSTEM AND METHOD
A spirometry coaching system and method is described. The system includes a spirometer comprising at least one detection element, a patient interactive display, and a control unit communicatively connected to the detection element and the patient interactive display, wherein the control unit directs an audio and visual presentation of at least one test instruction on the patient interactive display, and wherein the control unit directs an audio and visual presentation of at least one test result on the patient interactive display based on a measurement received from the at least one detection element.
AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER HEALTH ANALYSIS
Augmented reality systems and methods for user health analysis. Methods for user health analysis may include collecting data for an initial prediction model and continuing to collect additional data based on one or more data criteria. The methods may further include updating the initial prediction model based on the additional data to produce a revised prediction model or causing an intervention to occur based on the additional data. The data may be collected by a display system including one or more sensors configured to collect user-specific data and a display device configured to present virtual content to a user. The display device may be configured to output light with variable wavefront divergence.
GIGAHERTZ FREQUENCY FRINGING NEAR-FIELD BIOMEDICAL SENSOR
A near-field sensor method and device for obtaining biomedical information is disclosed. A transmission-line aperture arrangement configured to guide electromagnetic waves and emit near-field fringing energy, is placed near the skin. The transmission line is excited at a narrow-band Gigahertz frequency. The near-field fringing energy emitted by the sensor device penetrates at least partially into the skin and underlying blood vessels, and this energy is partially absorbed and partially phase shifted in a time varying manner according to the changes in tissue physiology. The status of the sensor device is monitored over a plurality of time intervals, and changes in both the phase and the amplitude of the signals passing though the transmission line are used to determine biomedical information such as heart rates, PTT, blood pressure, and glucose levels. Various transmission-line configurations, and various reference transmission-line methods to reduce low-frequency noise, are also discussed.
METHOD FOR DETERMINING A REFRACTION FEATURE OF AN EYE OF A SUBJECT, AND ASSOCIATED PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The method includes the steps of: a) illuminating the pupil of an eye of a subject by a light source of a portable electronic device, the light source being formed by a lighted area displayed on a screen of the portable electronic device; b) acquiring a picture of the pupil of the eye of the subject by an image-capture apparatus of the portable electronic device, the picture including an image of the reflection of the light source on the retina of the eye; and c) determining a refraction feature of the eye taking into account at least a geometrical feature, a positional feature or an intensity distribution of the image of the reflection. An associated portable electronic device is also described.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE ENCLOSURE INCLUDING A GLASS CERAMIC REGION
An electronic device including an optical component and an enclosure comprising a glass ceramic region is disclosed. The optical properties of the glass ceramic region and the positioning of the glass ceramic region with respect to the optical component can affect the performance of the optical component, the visual appearance of the optical component, or both.
