APPARATUS FOR, METHOD OF, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT HAVING PROGRAM OF DISPLAYING BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION

A biological information displaying apparatus according to an embodiment includes a picture obtaining apparatus and a processor. The picture obtaining apparatus obtains a picture signal of a predetermined site of a subject as a moving image. The processor generates a hue moving image by extracting a luminance or an image-based photoplethysmogram (iPPG) related to a pulse wave for each pixel of the moving image and assigning a hue in accordance with a value of luminance information or iPPG information. The processor displays the generated hue moving image such that the hue moving image is superimposed on an image of the subject.

SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR SENSOR-BASED DETECTION OF SLEEP CHARACTERISTICS AND GENERATING ANIMATION DEPICTION OF THE SAME

A system for monitoring a sleep of a user includes a plurality of patches for placement adjacent to a surface of a body of a user, a processor, and a data communication system. Each patch from the plurality of patches includes at least one sensor. The data communication system transmits positional data generated by the plurality of sensors, including orientation data and motion data, to the processor. The processing of the positional data includes detecting a change in position of the body of the user between a first position and a second position. Based on the first image and the second image, an animation of a movement of the body from the first position to the second position is generated.

Enhanced catheter navigation methods and apparatus

Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided for facilitating the navigation of a catheter between first and second locations within a subject based on display of serial images corresponding to positions of the catheter at successive incremental times. Image production includes sensing catheter positions to produce location data for each time increment. For each position P.sub.i, the corresponding location data is processed to respectively produce an image I.sub.i reflecting the position of the catheter at a time T.sub.i. Each image I.sub.i is successively displayed at a time equal to T.sub.i+d, where d is an image processing visualization delay. Upon a condition that the catheter is displaced to a selected interim location between the first and second locations, the processing of the location data is switched from being performed by a first process associated with a first visualization delay to a second process associated with a second different visualization delay.
