Suggesting behavioral adjustments based on physiological responses to stimuli on electronic devices
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.
APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING PERSONS INCLUDING WHILE SLEEPING
An apparatus for monitoring a person, including while sleeping, the apparatus including: a. a garment for a person to wear while sleeping; b. a rigid sensor device configured to detect a temperature and/or a motion of the rigid sensor device while the person is wearing the garment; and c. an elastic pocket configured to hold the rigid sensor device tightly inside the garment during the detection of the temperature and/or the motion.
CHEWING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
Provided are chewing information storage means that stores information about chewing quality, muscle activity obtaining means that obtains a muscle activity signal of masticatory muscle of a person, analysis means that frequency-analyzes the muscle activity signal obtained by the muscle activity obtaining means, and analyzes chewing behavior based on the frequency-analyzed muscle activity signal, quality determination means determines quality of the chewing behavior based on information of the chewing behavior analyzed by the analysis means, and extraction means that extracts assistance information corresponding to the chewing quality determined by the quality determination means, from chewing information storage means.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING TREATABLE AND REMEDIABLE FACTORS OF DEMENTIA AND AGING COGNITIVE CHANGES
The present invention relates to a method and system for identifying treatable and remediable factors of Dementia and aging cognitive changes, to provide recommendations for aiding in the diagnosis of dementia or predementia symptoms in a subject. According to an embodiment of the invention, the method comprising: receiving data relative to medical history and examinations, processing said received data by applying an algorithm(s) relative to the Intensive Neuropsychogeriatric Evaluation, Treatment and Prevention (INETAP) method, and verifying whether said processed data is sufficient for indicating of advanced Dementia Potential Remediable Conditions (PRCs), and outputting data for aiding in the diagnosis of one of the following: dementia PRCs, pre-dementia PRCs, no dementia/pre-dementia, or Dementia without treatment horizon.
Coronary artery disease metric based on estimation of myocardial microvascular resistance from ECG signal
A computing system (118) includes a computer readable storage medium (122) with computer executable instructions (124), including a biophysical simulator (126) and an electrocardiogram signal analyzer (128). The computing system further includes a processor (120) configured to execute the electrocardiogram signal analyzer determine myocardial infarction characteristics from an input electrocardiogram and to execute the biophysical simulator to simulate a fractional flow reserve or an instant wave-free ratio index from input cardiac image data and the determined myocardial infarction characteristics.
WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING ACCELERATION DATA
According to an embodiment, a method of processing acceleration information by a wearable device is provided, the method including: acquiring the acceleration information indicating acceleration according to movement of the wearable device; acquiring a plurality of acceleration characteristics including a plurality of characteristics of a power spectrum of the acceleration and a range of the acceleration on the basis of the acceleration information; determining characteristic values according to two characteristics determined according to a type of a disease to be monitored among the plurality of acceleration characteristics; and providing an alarm signal in response to the characteristic value falling within an abnormality range.
Wearable apparatus, system and method for detection of cardiac arrest and alerting emergency response
The disclosure provides wearable cardiac arrest detection and alerting device that incorporates a non-invasive sensor based on optical and/or electrical signals transmitted into and received from human tissue containing blood vessels, and that transcutaneously quantifies the wearer's heart rate. The heart-rate quantification enables the detection of the absence of any heart beat by the wearable detection and alerting device indicative of the occurrence of a cardiac arrest, wherein the heart is no longer achieving effective blood circulation in the individual wearing the device. The display on the wearable cardiac arrest detection and alerting device may include the elapsed time since the time of detection of a heart rate that is below a predetermine lower limit value, i.e., the detected occurrence of a cardiac arrest event.
MEASURING AND/OR CHARACTERIZING FEEDING BEHAVIOR
A feeding analysis system reviews collected feeding data and provides analysis of data regarding nutritive sucking, feeding, and related activity.
BIO-SENSOR SYSTEM FOR MONITORING TISSUE VIBRATION
A headset comprise a frame and a vibration sensor coupled to the frame. The vibration sensor may be located in a nosepad of the frame, and configured to measure tissue vibrations of a user when the headset of worn by the user. A controller receives a signal corresponding to the measured vibration data from the vibration sensor, and analyzes the received signal to infer a sequence of states of the received signal, such as a sequence of respiratory states. The controller further determines a value of a health metric based upon the inferred sequence of states, e.g., a respiratory rate of the user, and performs an action using the determined value of the health metric.
METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUSES FOR THE DETECTION OF OXYGEN TOXICITY RELATED SYMPTOMS
Methods, systems and apparatuses for determining oxygen toxicity in users is disclosed. Electrodermal activity (EDA) data from a sensor may be received. The EDA data may be indicative of one or more physiological signals derived from sweat gland activity of the user. Time-varying index values may be determined based on the EDA data. The time-varying index values may be compared to a threshold to determine if one or more of the values satisfies the threshold. Satisfying the threshold may indicate oxygen toxicity is occurring within the user. A notification may be caused to occur based on the time-varying index value satisfying the threshold. The notification may cause the user to take actions to reduce the potential for further oxygen toxicity.
