This invention provides a wig capable of obtaining data indicative of a head environment. This invention includes at least one sensor (2) and a storage section (31) in which sensed data obtained by the at least one sensor (2) is stored.

Disclosed is a sensor patch (50) for attachment to a base plate for an ostomy appliance, and a method for manufacturing such sensor patch. The sensor patch having a proximal side and a distal side. The distal side being adapted for attachment to an adhesive surface of the base plate, wherein the adhesive surface of the base plate is adapted for attachment of the base plate to the skin surface of a user. The sensor patch comprises: a sensor assembly (204) comprising a plurality of electrodes (216), and a first adhesive sensor layer (52) forming the proximal side of the sensor patch and being adapted for attachment of the sensor patch to the skin surface of the user. The first adhesive sensor layer comprises a first centre portion (62) having a first centre thickness and a first outer rim portion (64) surrounding the first centre portion. The first outer rim portion has a first outer rim thickness decreasing along a radial direction from adjacent the first centre portion to a first outer periphery of the first adhesive sensor layer.

An apparatus for residual limb volume management. Specifically the present invention relates to tapered prosthetic socks used in combination with a measuring template such that, when compressed, a user can see whether or not their residual limb has swelled or shrunk. The point at which the top edge of the socket of the prosthetic stops when in a compressed stance is the “0” mark on the measuring template and any upward or downward movement will be noticed by the user via a baseline drawn onto the prosthetic sock made using the measuring template. A mobile/online application can be implemented to remind the user to regularly check the baseline and instruct the user if corrective action is needed.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an exosuit activity transition control structure. In some implementations, sensor data representing an estimate of sensor data that will be produced by sensors of an exosuit at a particular time in the future is generated, where the exosuit is configured to assist mobility of a wearer. Actual sensor data that is generated using the sensors of the exosuit is obtained. A measure of uncertainty is determined based on the forecasted sensor data and the actual sensor data. Based on the measure of uncertainty, a control action for the exosuit to adjust an assistance provided to the wearer is determined.

Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a prosthetic cover comprising an array of sensors, which transmit signals to an array of electrodes in a liner that fits over a residual limb of an amputee. Different interactions with the prosthetic cover cause different activation of the electrodes to transmit electrical current through different areas of the residual limb and modulate neurons differently within the residual limb.

Systems and methods relating to magnetomicrometry and magnetic-target-based mechanomyography are provided. A method of detecting muscle activation, includes with a magnetic field sensor, detecting lateral vibration of a target implanted at a muscle or a tendon and estimating a level of muscle activation based on the detected lateral vibration. The target comprises a magnetic material.

The present disclosure is directed to an autonomous exoskeleton device that includes one or more actuators, one or more controllers, one or more sensors with one or more unidirectional transmissions. The control system includes an exoskeleton member configured and arranged on a limb of a user; a control device, a control device connected to the at least one exoskeleton member; an actuator mechanically connected to the limb of the user; and a sensor configured and arranged to sense a global angle of the exoskeleton device relative to the ground. The control device is configured and arranged to use the global angle to control the exoskeleton member.

Medical devices coupled to a sensor, and systems including such devices, can generate data and analysis based on that data, which may be used to identify and/or address problems associated with the implanted medical device, including incorrect placement of the device, unanticipated degradation of the device, and undesired movement of the device. Also provided are medical devices coupled to a sensor, and devices and methods to address problems that have been identified with an implanted medical device.
