Embodiments disclosed herein enable enhanced communication with an application service provider. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, in a user communication device, collecting medical telemetry of a user of the user communication device. Upon identifying at least one abnormality in the medical telemetry, the method provides determining that the at least one abnormality indicates that the user is experiencing a health issue based on identifying a lack of non-medical telemetry indicating a reason, other than the health issue, for the at least one abnormality. In response to determining that the at least one abnormality indicates that the user is experiencing the health issue, the method provides initiating a real-time user communication from the user communication device to a contact center.

The present invention includes: a first sensor (111a) which is provided in a house (10) and which detects, without contact, at least the heart rate and the respiratory rate of a resident (15); an anomaly determining section (201) which detects significant difference in the heart rate and the respiratory rate from a normal state; a communication section (210) which carries out communication between an operator (25) and a resident (15) for verifying safety; an arrival information presenting section (206) which presents, to the operator (25), the arrival of an emergency medical worker (35) at a house (10) in response to a dispatching request by the operator (25); and a remote unlocking section (203) which carries out emergency unlocking of a lock of the house (10) in accordance with an instruction of the operator (25).

Systems and methods are provided for remote patient management and monitoring. The patient is monitored with a wireless sensor system connected to an application executing on a patient user computing device. The system continuously monitors physiological parameters, such as, but not limited to, blood oxygen saturation (SpO.sub.2), pulse rate, perfusion index, pleth variability index, and/or respiration rate from the photoplethysmograph. The system triggers alarms if the patient physiological data violates thresholds. Care providers review patient data and associated alarm(s) with graphical user interfaces.

Dispatch-aiding communications between computing devices of a responder and a dispatch unit include a computing device of the responder determining that an event occurred, automatically sending an indication of the event to a computing device of the dispatch unit, receiving a request for information from the computing device of the dispatch unit, obtaining the information requested by the computing device of the dispatch unit, and sending the information requested by the computing device of the dispatch unit to the computing device of the dispatch unit. The computing device of the dispatch unit sends the request for information to the computing device of the responder in response to receiving the indication of the event.

An ear-wearable device includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor. One or more processors of the ear-wearable device are configured to determine, based on sample values of a PPG signal generated by the PPG sensor, whether a user of the ear-wearable device has fallen.

A patch for sensing distinct conditions indicative of a physiological response is described. The patch includes a base for attaching to a region of skin undergoing a physiological response. The patch also includes a first sensor provided on the base that detects a first condition indicative of the physiological response of the region of skin, a second sensor provided on the base that detects a second condition indicative of the physiological response, and a third sensor provided on the base that detects a third condition indicative of the physiological response. The first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor are each distinct sensor modalities that detect distinct conditions.

Embodiments herein disclose a patient monitoring system (100). The patient monitoring system (100) includes an ECG electrode (110), comprises multiple built-in sensors (110e), configured to measure patient information and stream the patient information. Further, a patient monitor (120) is configured to receive the streamed patient information from the ECG electrode (110) and display the streamed patient information. The patient monitoring system (100) is primarily targeted for patients in ICU who are at risk of acquiring pressure ulcers or VAP or Sepsis. A wearable device in the form factor of the ECG electrode with multiple built-in sensors to monitor patient bed position, head up elevation angle, skin temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate. Information from smart ECG electrode is relayed either through a wired or wireless medium and displayed through the standard patient monitor or using a gateway device.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for monitoring the cognitive state of a patient based on eye image data. The patient monitoring system comprising a camera unit configured for recording images of an eye of the patient, and a data processing sub-system in data communication with the camera and being operable to (i) receive and process eye image data from said camera, (ii) classify said eye image data into gestures and identify such gestures indicative of the cognitive state of the patient, and (iii) transmit a signal communicating said cognitive state to a remote unit. The system may further comprise an actuator module and an output unit wherein said output may be an automated medical questionnaire.

A system includes a server, a user device, and a monitoring device. The monitoring device is configured to identify a first active state based on a comparison of a first image to a second image, which are views of the monitored environment; and, in response to identifying the first active state, transmit a first notification that includes the second image to the server. The server is configured to transmit the second image to the user device. The user device is configured to display a plurality of images; and update, in response to receiving the second image, the plurality of images so that the second image replaces at least one image of the plurality of images; receive a request to display an image stream on the user device; transmit, to the server, a request to provide the image stream; and replace the second image with the image stream.

The present disclosure relates to a device for predicting, detecting, monitoring, and controlling epilepsy and methods thereof. In particular, the present disclosure relates to early detection and control of epileptic seizures using sensor-based device. In some embodiments, the sensor-based device is wearable.
