CONTACTLESS COUGH DETECTION AND ATTRIBUTION
Methods, devices, and systems for contactless cough detection and attribution are presented herein. Audio data may be received using a microphone. A cough may be identified as having occurred based on the received audio data. Radar data may be received indicative of reflected radio waves from a radar sensor. A state analysis process may be performed using the received radar data. The detected cough may be attributed to a particular user based at least in part on the state analysis process performed using the radar data.
System and method for voice control of measurement apparatus
A measurement apparatus includes sensors adapted to be coupled to tissue containing blood and configured to generate signals associated with physiological parameters. The device is configured to communicate with a software application through a base device. The software application is configured to operate on a control system. The control system is capable of receiving physiological parameter signals. The control system includes a touch-screen, a proximity sensor, circuitry for obtaining movement information from a positioning sensor, a mechanical system having actuators, and a wireless transmitter to transmit data to a host. The software application is operable to generate the physiological information based on the signals from the sensors. The control system is further configured to receive voice input signals and manually entered input signals. The host is configured to generate status information from the data and includes a memory storage device and a communication device.
BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION DEVICE AND BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACQUISITION METHOD
A biological information acquisition device is provided that enables a cognitive function test to be received as part of routine healthcare management. Cognitive function test information is provided. Subsequently, biological information is acquired as an interference task. After acquiring the biological information, answers from the user to the previously provided cognitive function test information are checked.
System and method for characterizing an upper airway using speech characteristics
The present invention relates to systems and methods for characterizing at least one anatomical parameter of an upper airway of a patient by analysing spectral properties of an utterance, comprising: a mechanical coupler comprising means for restricting the jaw position of the patient; means for recording an utterance; and processing means for determining at least one anatomical parameter of the upper airway from the recorded utterance and comparing the recorded utterance to a threshold value. In addition the present invention relates to the use of the above mentioned systems as a diagnostics tool for assessing obstructive sleep apnea.
TELEMETRY MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM OF PARAMETERS OF HUMAN VITAL FUNCTIONS AND CLINICAL SIGNS OF POSSIBLE FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS AND DETERMINATION OF METHODS OF CONTROL
The software and interchangeable auxiliary hardware system for remote telemetric diagnostics of the physiological and mental state of a subject that includes an electronic computing device of a subject with a camera operably configured to measure spectroscopic changes, parameters of discoloration in the skin and the mucous membrane tissues in the areas of the subject's face, to provide assessment of pupils and sclera pigmentation, coupled with multiple interchangeable sensors to assess a surface temperature of the skin, composition of exhaled air from the subject, sensorimotor reaction of the subject, motor activity of the subject, and optical lighting operably configured to assess skin color and perfusion of blood vessels of the subject's face remotely; the electronic computing device of the subject communicatively coupled to a processor, operably configured through programed software instructions, to process the registered data and transmit it to a medical practitioner's personal computer to conclude with a diagnosis and/or recommendations.
METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN ADAPTATION OF AN IMAGING EXAMINATION
A computer-implemented method for determining an adaptation of a parameter of an imaging examination that is to be carried out using a medical imaging apparatus in dependence on an input of information for the imaging examination, including: capturing the information input for the imaging examination; determining an item of information relating to an adaptation of the imaging examination in dependence on the information input; allocating the item of information relating to the adaptation of the imaging examination to a parameter of the imaging examination; determining an adaptation of the parameter of the imaging examination in dependence on the information input; and providing a parameter set of the imaging examination.
Context-sensitive infusion devices, systems and methods
Infusion devices and related medical devices, patient data management systems, and methods are provided for monitoring a physiological condition of a patient. An exemplary infusion device includes an actuation arrangement operable to deliver fluid to a user, a communications interface to receive measurement data indicative of a physiological condition of the user, a sensing arrangement to obtain contextual measurement data, and a control system coupled to the actuation arrangement, the communications interface and the sensing arrangement to determine a command for autonomously operating the actuation arrangement in a manner that is influenced by the measurement data and the contextual measurement data and autonomously operate the actuation arrangement in accordance with the command to deliver the fluid to the user.
Capturing and measuring timeliness, accuracy and correctness of health and preference data in a digital twin enabled precision treatment platform
A patient health management platform determines of a metabolic state for a first time period. The platform generates a patient-specific treatment recommendation for a second time period following the first time period that identifies objectives for the patient to complete to improve the metabolic state determined for the first time period. Periodically during the second time period, the platform receives recordings of patient data indicating foods consumed by the patient, medication taken by the patient, and/or symptoms experienced by the patient. The platform compares the received recordings of patient data from the second time period to the generated patient-specific treatment recommendation to determine a number of objectives completed by the patient and updates a score representing n adherence of the patient to the patient-specific treatment recommendation based the number of completed objectives. The platform provides the patient-specific treatment recommendation to the patient device for display to the patient.
MEDICAL VOICE COMMAND INTEGRATION
System and methods for controlling healthcare devices and systems using voice commands are presented. In some aspects a listening device may receive voice command from a person. The voice command may be translated into human readable or machine readable text via a speech-to-text service. A control component may receive the text and send device-specific instructions to a medical device associated with a patient based on the translated voice command. In response to the instructions, the medical device may take an action on a patient. Some examples of actions taken may include setting an alarm limit on a monitor actively monitoring a patient and adjusting the amount of medication delivered by an infusion pump. Because these devices may be controlled using a voice command, in some cases, no physical or manual interaction is needed with the device. As such, multiple devices may be hands-free controlled from any location.
Electrogram annotation system
In an embodiment, an electrogram (EGM) processing system provides, for display by a head-mounted display (HMD) worn by a user, a holographic rendering of intracardiac geometry. The HMD also displays an electrogram waveform. The EGM processing system determines a gaze direction of the user by processing sensor data from the HMD. The HMD displays a marker overlaid on the electrogram waveform at a location based on an intersection point between the gaze direction and the electrogram waveform. The EGM processing system determines a measurement of the electrogram waveform using the location of the marker. The HMD displays the measurement of the electrogram waveform.
