Disclosed is a body temperature measuring patch using an IR temperature sensor. The present embodiment provides a body temperature measuring patch using an infrared temperature sensor, which enables the body temperature to be measured more accurately and quickly when a body temperature is continuously monitored by applying a surface mounted device (SMD)-type infrared (IR) temperature sensor and thus implementing a patch-type thermometer.

A system has a plurality of diagnostic sensors and a first computing device interconnected to the plurality of diagnostic sensors for: commanding the plurality of diagnostic sensors to collect diagnostic data from a patient, determining if each of the plurality of diagnostic sensors are positioned at respectively predefined body locations of the patient, combining the collected diagnostic data for analysis when all of the plurality of diagnostic sensors are positioned at respectively predefined body locations of the patient, and prompting the patient to reposition at least one of the plurality of diagnostic sensors when the at least one sensor is determined as being mis-positioned from the corresponding predefined body location.

A method for medical detection implemented in a medical detection device, includes a detection instruction being received by the device, the device detecting a temperature of a test strip and determining a measurement error rate corresponding to the actual temperature of the test strip, a relationship having been established between temperatures and measurement error rates for test strip temperatures. When the medical detection device receives the test strip that carries blood of a user, at least one physiological parameter based on the blood on the test strip is measured, and a measurement value of the at least one physiological parameter is obtained. And the measurement value is compensated according to the measurement error rate, and a correction value of the physiological parameter is thus obtained.

A method for detecting a wearable device's contact with a living body may be provided, including obtaining a decreasing rate of body temperature and a decreasing a rate of environmental temperature measured by a wearable device worn on a living body; and determining the wearable device's contact with the living body based on a comparison of the decreasing rate of body temperature and the decreasing rate of environmental temperature. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product for detecting a wearable device's contact with a living body may also be provided.

A child safety seat checking system for a child safety seat of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, is comprised of at least one child safety seat, a first checking device for checking whether a child is located in the child safety seat, and a second checking device for checking whether a person supervising the child is present, wherein the second checking device is designed to operate in an at least partly portable manner in an operating state of the child safety seat checking system and/or is designed to operate regardless of an on/off state of the vehicle.

An ambulatory medical device including a plurality of sensing electrodes and one or more processors operably coupled to the plurality of sensing electrodes is provided. Each sensing electrodes is configured to be coupled eternally to a patient and to detect one or more ECG signals. The one or more processors are configured to receive at least one electrode-specific digital signal for each of the plurality of sensing electrodes, determine a noise component for each of the electrode-specific digital signals, analyze each of the noise components for each of the plurality of sensing electrodes, generate electrode matching information for each sensing electrode of the plurality of sensing electrodes based upon analysis of each of the noise components, determine one or more sensing electrode pairs based upon the electrode matching information, and monitor each of the one or more sensing electrode pairs for ECG activity of the patient.

Described herein are assistant robots that anticipate needs of one or more people (or animals). The assistant robots may recognize a current activity, knowledge of the person's routines, and contextual information. As such, the assistant robots can provide or offer to provide appropriate robotic assistance. The assistant robots can learn users' habits or be provided with knowledge regarding humans in its environment. The assistant robots develop a schedule and contextual understanding of the persons' behavior and needs. The assistant robots may interact, understand, and communicate with people before, during, or after providing assistance. The robot can combine gesture, clothing, emotional aspect, time, pose recognition, action recognition, and other observational data to understand people's medical condition, current activity, and future intended activities and intents.

The disclosure relates to new methods for calibrating or adjusting a bioimpedance measuring device. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a medical set or system, a medical measuring standard, a method for testing a bioimpedance measuring device, and a bioimpedance measuring device.

A blood pressure monitor configured to removably mount to a cuff in a substantially symmetrical position with respect to a width of the cuff can include a housing defining an interior, a first port, and a second port. The first port can: secure to a first prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in a first orientation; receive and secure to a second prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in a second orientation; and enable fluid communication between the interior and at least one of a first fluid passage within the first prong and a second fluid passage within the second prong. The second port can: secure to the second prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in the first orientation; and receive and secure to the first prong of the cuff when the cuff is mounted in the second orientation.
