A computer implemented method includes: capturing an ambient sound event; determining whether the ambient sound event matches at least one of a plurality of pre-identified sound events stored in a computer storage; generating a prompt via the user interface for a user to confirm that a response is needed; determining whether to initiate a response based on the user's response to the prompt.

A monitoring system a user activity sensor to determine patterns of activity based upon the user activity occurring over time.

A wearable defibrillator includes one or more environmental sensors including an accelerometer, one or more ECG sensors configured to acquire ECG data, and an alarm manager and at least one processor operatively coupled to the one or more ECG sensors and the accelerometer. The at least one processor is configured to detect a cardiac abnormality in the patient, identify a notification having one or more characteristics, and detect an environmental condition of the wearable defibrillator. The accelerometer is configured to detect a presence or lack of patient motion, and/or detect a body position of the patient as the detected environmental condition. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether one or more factors exist that inhibit the patient's ability to recognize the notification, on determining their existence, adapt the one or more characteristics of the notification and provide an adapted notification, and issue the adapted notification.

A safety warning system including at least one sensor or sensor system to detect an abnormal safety situation relative to a safety zone, at least one network transmitter associated with the at least one sensor or sensor system, at least one controller associated with the at least one sensor or sensor system to receive information from the at least one sensor or sensor system and issue an alert signal based on a comparison of the information received and a safety setpoint, the alert signal issued over a safety zone network, and at least one wearable unit provided for each user in the safety zone, the wearable unit providing at least a tactile alert to the user based on the comparison to warn the user of the occurrence of an abnormal safety situation within the safety zone.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for switching an application executing on an ambulatory medical device to a new application without interrupting therapy provided by the ambulatory medical device to a subject. The ambulatory medical device may receive an indication that an update to an application executing on the ambulatory insulin pump is available, establish a communication connection to a host computing system, download and install the application update, while a prior version of the application continues to run. The disclosed systems and methods can confirm successful installation of the application update on the ambulatory medical device and switch control of the ambulatory medical device from the prior version to the new version of the application without interrupting therapy provided to the subject.

A method and system for monitoring a user's intoxication including receiving a set of signals, derived from a set of samples collected from the user at a set of time points; providing a sobriety task to the user proximal to a time point of the set of time points; generating a performance dataset characterizing performance of the sobriety task by the user; receiving a supplementary dataset characterizing a demographic profile of the user and/or a physiological state of the user; determining a set of values of an intoxication metric, derived from the set of signals; generating a predicted temporal profile of the intoxication metric for the user based upon the set of values, the set of time points, and the supplementary dataset; generating an analysis of the user's sobriety based upon the performance dataset and the predicted temporal profile; and providing a notification to the user based upon the analysis.

An electronic device for providing biometric information is provided. The electronic device includes a sensor module, a memory, and a processor electrically connected to the sensor module and the memory. The processor obtains a biometric signal from the sensor module at a predetermined time interval, determines whether a user is in a first state on the basis of the obtained biometric signal, in case the user is in a first state, obtains a representative value for a respective of the at least one biometric signal, defines the obtained representative value for the respective of the at least one biometric signal as a candidate reference value for a corresponding biometric signal, determines a candidate reference value satisfying a predetermined condition as a first reference value for the corresponding biometric signal, and updates a second reference value previously configured for the corresponding biometric signal on the basis of the first reference value.

One aspect of the apparatus comprising, a sensor configured to acquire a biological signal of a user, and a controller configured to, determine whether the biological signal is continuously outside a predetermined range for a first time period, after determining that the biological signal has been continuously outside the predetermined range for the first time period, then determine whether the biological signal is inside the predetermined range, and activate an alarm if the controller has determined that (i) the biological signal has been outside the predetermined range for the first time period, and (ii) the biological signal has been continuously inside the predetermined range for a second time period, the second time period being longer than the first time period.

Systems and methods for aiding, supplementing, and/or increasing the monitoring capabilities of responsible persons over a supervised person are disclosed herein. In some implementations, the system includes one or more controlling persons, one or more supervising persons, a supervised person, and a cloud server. Each of the controlling persons and the supervising persons can have a personal electronic device. The supervised person can have a wearable electronic device. The electronic devices allow the controlling persons and the supervising persons to actively communicate with the cloud server to upload data related to the supervised person that is accessibly stored in the cloud server. In turn, the wearable device can include one or more sensors to measure and communicate various bioindicators to the cloud server. The system allows the controlling persons to monitor the health of, development of, and/or current control over the supervised person.
