In an embodiment, an apparatus, such as a sensor package, includes a sensor, an antenna, and a power circuit. The package is configured for attachment to an object or a subject, for example a patient in need of clinical monitoring. The sensor package is configured to sense a condition or conditions related to the object or subject, and configured to generate a sense signal according to the sensed condition. The sensor patch may include a dual power source and means for switching between power sources, such as NFC and battery. The sensor patch may also include dual radios. As practiced, an NFC radio can be supplemented with a Bluetooth or other LAN radio for data logging. Systems for monitoring sensor patches may include methods for monitoring or tracking location of the patches. In one instance, patches worn by patients are used to triage patients and remotely monitor one or more clinical signs and radio proximity; the system notifies caregivers in real time if the clinical data is indicative of a worsening condition and guides the caregivers to the patient by the shortest possible path, even in a busy facility such as an emergency room.

A system and method for generating biofeedback using feedback signals created by at least one media device. A subject person is monitored to obtain biometric data. The biometric data is used to generate a biometric waveform. The biometric waveform is used to generate control signals. The control signals are used to regulate audio signals, lighting, audiovisual imagery and/or auxiliary devices so that these feedbacks are altered to represent some waveform characteristic embodied by the biometric waveform. The subject person will hear and/or see the feedback and will better be able to control their body and mind.

Pressure and pressure or displacement variations are measured in a media, such as a fluid (e.g., air, other gases, or other liquid fluids), using ultrasound. The pressure may be sound pressure (e.g., acoustic pressure), pseudo-sound pressure (e.g., hydrodynamic pressure), displacement, and so on. By measuring pressure or displacement, the flow in the fluid can be measured, estimated, parameterized, or otherwise quantified. In this way, measurements of pressure (e.g., acoustic pressure, hydrodynamic pressure) or displacement can be correlated or otherwise converted into a measurement of flow. The pressure measurements can also be converted into audio signals that can be played back to a user.

A glucose annunciator comprising: i) a data eavesdropping interface configured to acquire blood glucose data transmitted by a wireless glucose monitor, the blood glucose data indicating a blood glucose level of a subject; and ii) an alert generator coupled to the data eavesdropping interface and configured to generate at least one of an audible indicium, a visible indicium, or a haptic indicium based on the blood glucose data but remote from the wireless glucose monitor. The indicium at least generally indicates the blood glucose level of the subject without requiring access to the wireless glucose monitor.
