SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESENTING VIRTUAL REALITY CONTENT TO A USER BASED ON BODY POSTURE
A system and/or method that uses a body posture of a user to determine and modulate a content mode of a virtual reality system. The content mode may define the manner in which virtual reality content is presented to the user and/or the manner in which the user interacts with the virtual reality content. The user's body posture and/or a change in body posture may cause the content mode and/or the virtual reality content to change accordingly. In some implementations, primary content may be presented to the user according to a first content mode in response to the user sitting. Secondary virtual reality content may be presented to the user according to the second content mode in response to the user standing. As such, a user may initiate a change in the virtual reality content and/or the content mode by standing from a sitting posture and/or sitting from a standing posture.

QUANTIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH RIGHT-LEG DRIVE FUNCTION SYSTEM AND METHOD
In the present invention, a right leg drive RLD monitoring system is employed on a medical computing system/computer, such as an ECG, HEMO and/or EP monitoring, mapping and/or recording system, that includes a number of RLD circuits to be utilized for different procedures or monitoring states to be performed using the system. The RLD monitoring system operates to actively monitor and/or record the feedback voltage to the RLD isolated from the patient. Using the measured feedback voltage data, the RLD monitoring system can identify and determine if the RLD circuit in use is approaching saturation, has reached saturation and the duration the RLD circuit was in saturation. The RLD monitoring system can concurrently and/or subsequently select and/or provide selection information regarding an optimal RLD circuit to be utilized to most effectively perform the desired function of the RLD in the procedure being performed using the monitoring, mapping and/or recording system.
Dynamic Calibration of A Blood Pressure Measurement Device
Various embodiments enable calibrating a non-invasive blood pressure measurement device by determining multiple parameters defining a stress-strain relationship of an artery of a patient. The device may obtain output signals from a blood pressure sensor at two or more measurement elevations. The obtained measurement signals may be filtered into AC and quasi-DC components, and results fit to exponential functions to calculate an arterial time constant and a veinous time constant related to vein draining/filling rates. The arterial and veinous time constants may be used to calculate an infinity ratio. The infinity ratio and the obtained sensor output may be used to calculate values for multiple parameters defining a stress-strain relationship of a measured artery. Once defined, this stress-strain relationship may be stored and applied to future sensor output signals (e.g., blood pressure measuring sessions) to infer patient blood pressure.
Non-Invasive continuous and adaptive health monitoring eco-system
An eco-system for tracking a user's physiological parameters comprises a central sensor and at least one remote sensor in wireless communication with the central sensor, a portable device readily accessible to the user, and a cloud platform.

The central sensor may receive and process the measured data from each remote sensor and processes its own measured data. The portable device comprises a receiver wirelessly receiving the processed data and instructions from the central sensor; a processor running a mobile application handling the processed data and instructions; and a transmitter transmitting the processed data. The cloud platform receives the processed data from the transmitter; analyzes the received processed data; and transmits the results of the analysis to at least one of the portable device and an authorized healthcare entity.
