A system includes a garment and a sensor module. The garment includes an engagement feature. The garment is configured to encompass a first location on a body. The engagement feature is positioned in fixed alignment with the garment. The sensor module includes a sensor housing and includes a sensor having an electrical node. The sensor is configured to provide an electrical output on the node. The housing has a complementary feature. The complementary feature is configured to couple and decouple with the engagement feature. The electrical output is based on a measure of a physiological parameter associated with the body and is based on site information corresponding to the engagement feature.

Methods, systems and devices for linking devices to tracking devices are provided. One method includes scanning, by an activity tracking device, for a semi-unique identifier broadcasted by a device. The method connects the device with the activity tracking device after the semi-unique identifier is found to be of the device by the activity tracking device. The activity tracking device is configured to communicate with the device to obtain device identification (ID) of the device. The method then automatically links the device to the activity tracking device when the device ID of the device matches a copy of the device ID stored in the activity tracking device. In one example, the tracking devices operate as a master and the devices operate as a slave.

An arm mountable portable patient monitoring device configured to receive physiological information from a plurality of sensors attached to a patient via wired connections for on-patient monitoring of parameter measurements and wireless transmission of parameter measurements to separate monitoring devices. The arm mountable portable patient monitoring device includes a housing, a strap, a display, a first sensor port positioned on a first side of the housing configured to face toward a hand of the patient when the housing is secured to the arm of the patient, second and third sensor ports configured to receive signals from additional sensor arrangements via a wired connections, one or more signal processing arrangements configured to cause to be displayed measurements of oxygen saturation and pulse rate, and a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit information indicative of the measurements of oxygen saturation and pulse rate to a separate monitoring device.

The present invention provides an electroencephalogram measurement structure formed by an ear-hanging structure and a second circuit board. The ear-hanging structure includes a body. An ear-hanging member is disposed at the extension of the body. The body can be worn on the ear via the ear-hanging member. In addition, a first reference electrode and a second reference electrode are disposed on the body and coupled to a first circuit board. The first circuit board is coupled to an electrical jack; the second circuit board is coupled to the electrical jack via an electrical plug. Thereby, the electroencephalogram measurement can be performed simply by wearing the ear-hanging member on the ear of the person under test. Hence, the problems of complicated wiring and inconvenience in wearing can be solved concurrently.

A method includes receiving geo-location data collected over time period. The geo-location data is associated with a monitoring device. The method further includes receiving motion tracking data of the monitoring device. The motion tracking data is collected over time period. The method includes identifying one or more activities. The activities are identified based on inference rules that identify certain activities to have occurred when at least part of the motion tracking data is correlated to the received geo-location data. The method further includes defining a metric for one or more of the identified activities. The metric is associated to a calendar date. The method includes sending the metric to a calendar application with integration instructions. The integration instructions define the calendar date to which the metric will be added.

Provided according to embodiments of the invention are photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, systems and methods of using the same. In some embodiments of the invention, methods of obtaining a photoplethysmography (PPG) signals include securing a PPG sensor onto a nasal columella of an individual; and obtaining a PPG signal from the PPG sensor.

A wearable health monitoring device includes one or more sensors for sampling biometric parameters of various physiological conditions of the wearer. The device is powered by a variable energy source that has an energy level that changes during operation. A rechargeable battery loses charge as it powers the device. A solar cell or cells can be used to recharge, or maintain charge of the rechargeable battery, or at least provide a supplemental power source to relieve the burden on the rechargeable battery to power the device. In some circumstances, the available energy can become diminished, and the device adjusts the rate at which it performs biometric measurements in order to conserve energy.

In various embodiments of the invention, a manipulator attaches to and allows a sheath to be positioned inside the cervix and a catheter to thereby be inserted through the sheath and be positioned in a desired location in the uterus. In various embodiments of the invention, the manipulator may be attached or permanently connected to the sheath. In various embodiments of the invention, the sheath is fenestrated to allow the catheter to be detached from the sheath. In various embodiments of the invention, the manipulator allows the sheath to be positioned through the cervix canal to allow for catheter transmitted intrauterine pressure monitoring or balloon catheter assisted ripening of the cervix.

A clamp electrode apparatus comprises first and second clamps which are mechanically connected to form a single integrated device and arranged side by side such that a first edge of the first clamp faces a second edge of the second clamp. A channel is defined between the first and second edges for aligning a visible mark feature of a limb, such as a malleolus or ulnar head, within the opening or channel when the first and second clamps clamp the limb. When the limb is clamped with the clamp electrode apparatus multiple times, the visible mark feature can be aligned with reference to the channel. Thus, electrodes attached to the clamps contact generally the same locations even if the clamp electrode apparatus is removed after each measurement and is not kept on the limb throughout the multiple measurements.

A magnetic-flap optical sensor has an emitter activated so as to transmit light into a fingertip inserted between an emitter pad and a detector pad. The sensor has a detector responsive to the transmitted light after attenuation by pulsatile blood flow within fingertip so as to generate a detector signal. Flaps extend from the emitter pad and along the sides of a detector shell housing the detector pad. Flap magnets are disposed on the flap ends and shell magnets are disposed on the detector shell sides. A spring urges the emitter shell and detector shell together, so as to squeeze the fingertip between its fingernail and its finger pad. The flap magnets have opposite north and south orientations from the shell magnets, urging the flaps to the detector shell sides and squeezing the fingertip sides. These spring and magnet squeezing forces occlude the fingertip blood flow and accentuate a detector signal responsive to an active pulsing of the fingertip.
