Food intake monitor

Systems and methods for monitoring food intake include an air pressure sensor for detecting ear canal deformation, according to some implementations. For example, the air pressure sensor detects a change in air pressure in the ear canal resulting from mandible movement. Other implementations include systems and methods for monitoring food intake that include a temporalis muscle activity sensor for detecting temporalis muscle activity, wherein at least a portion of the temporalis muscle activity sensor is coupled adjacent a temple portion of eyeglasses and disposed between the temple tip and the frame end piece. The temporalis muscle activity sensor may include an accelerometer, for example, for detecting movement of the temple portion due to mandibular movement from chewing.

PLEURAL EFFUSION PRE-SCREENING SYSTEM

A pleural effusion pre-screening system may be used to administer a percussive treatment to a patient's chest and/or back, sense the respiratory sounds from the percussive treatment, and analyze those respiratory sounds. The pleural effusion pre-screening system may have a high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) vest which includes at least one adjustable strap.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO DETECT AND CHARACTERIZE STRESS USING PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSORS

A method includes receiving multimodal data collected using at least one wearable device during an assessment window. The method also includes extracting biomarker features from the multimodal data, based on changes in the extracted biomarker features. The method also includes detecting that a stress event occurred during the assessment window. The method also includes accessing a plurality of templates of patterns in biomarker features, wherein a first subset of the templates is associated with unhealthy response to stress and a second subset of the templates is associated with healthy response to stress. The method also includes determining whether the stress event corresponds to a healthy response or an unhealthy response based on similarities between a pattern in the extracted biomarker features and the plurality of templates. The method also includes responsive to the stress event corresponding to an unhealthy response, providing a stress management recommendation.

Suggesting behavioral adjustments based on physiological responses to stimuli on electronic devices
11568166 · 2023-01-31 · ·

Introduced here are health management platforms able to monitor changes in the health state of a subject based on the context of digital activities performed by, or involving, the subject. Initially, a health management platform can identify a physiological response by examining physiological data associated with a subject. Then, the health management platform can identify a stimulus presented by an electronic device that provoked the physiological response by examining contextual data associated with the subject. The contextual data may be in the form of a screenshot of a computer program in use by the subject during the physiological response. In some embodiments, the health management platform prompts the subject to specify whether the physiological response is a positive physiological response that resulted in an upward shift in health or a negative physiological response that resulted in a downward shift in health.
