Embodiments herein relate to embodiments herein relate to hearing assistance systems and methods for monitoring a device wearer's emotional state and status. In an embodiment, a hearing assistance system is included having an ear-worn device that can include a control circuit and a microphone in electronic communication with the control circuit. The ear-worn device can be configured to monitor signals from the microphone, analyze the signals in order to identify speech, and transmit data based on the signals representing the identified speech to a separate device. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Methods and systems for remote sleep monitoring are provided. Such methods and systems provide non-contact sleep monitoring via remote sensing or radar sensors. In this regard, when processing backscattered radar signals from a sleeping subject on a normal mattress, a breathing motion magnification effect is observed from mattress surface displacement due to human respiratory activity. This undesirable motion artifact causes existing approaches for accurate heart-rate estimation to fail. Embodiments of the present disclosure use a novel active motion suppression technique to deal with this problem by intelligently selecting a slow-time series from multiple ranges and examining a corresponding phase difference. This approach facilitates improved sleep monitoring, where one or more subjects can be remotely monitored during an evaluation period (which corresponds to an expected sleep cycle).

A wearable sweat sensor for detecting one or more analytes in human sweat comprises an optical module comprising at least one light source and at least one light detector; at least one sensor layer optically coupled to the optical module and having optical absorbance properties that are dependent on the concentration of a target analyte of said one or more analytes; and one or more processors in communication with the optical module. The one or more processors are configured to: cause light from the at least one light source to be transmitted towards, and/or through, the at least one sensor layer; obtain, from the at least one light detector, one or more optical signals reflected and/or transmitted from the at least one sensor layer; and determine, from at least one wavelength component of the one or more optical signals, a target analyte concentration.

A system may obtain a set of features characterizing a segment of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data generated by an IMU of an ear-wearable device. The system may apply a machine learning model (MLM) that takes the features characterizing the segment of the IMU data as input. The system may determine, based on output values produced by the MLM, whether a user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse. The system may then perform an action in response to determining that the user of the ear-wearable device has potentially been subject to physical abuse.

Systems and methods are provided remotely controlling a medical device. In some embodiments, systems and methods are also provided for remote medical monitoring. This includes, for example, emergency/panic notifications/functions, medical event recording, compliance monitoring, sleep timer and environmental controls, two-way communication, and other functions such as, for example, emergency telephony/communication in various forms. In other embodiments, systems and methods for managing a remote control of a medical device are provided. This includes, for example, two-way communication for assisting in locating the remote, power management including sleep mode and wireless charging, and master remote/key functionality. The remote can be handheld or wearable and may include, for example, audio, visual, haptic, input, communication, and sensor (including biosensor) functionality and outputs. In this manner, the remote control can not only control the medical device, but also provides the user with extended functionality for emergency and non-emergency communication and tasks.

The present disclosure pertains to a wearable electronic device for the novel sensing of physiologically presented symptoms of stress corresponding to changes in a finger skin temperature biomarker.
