Physiological sensor device and system, and correction method
A physiological sensor device and system, and a correction method are provided. The physiological sensor device includes a physiological signal sensor, a first compensation sensor, and a signal processing device. The physiological signal sensor is attached to an object to be detected to sense a physiological signal value. The first compensation sensor is disposed on the physiological signal sensor. The signal processing device is coupled to the physiological signal sensor and the first compensation sensor. The signal processing device obtains through the first compensation sensor a failure region of the physiological signal sensor partially detached from the object to be detected and obtains a first failure compensation value according to the failure region, so as to compensate the physiological signal value sensed by the physiological signal sensor.
Adaptive audio therapy system
An adaptive audio therapy system which detects and processes one or more individuals' conditions to provide adaptive, continuous audio therapy in real-time. The adaptive audio therapy system generally includes a detection device that is typically in physical contact with an individual, such as a pacifier or steering wheel. The detection device may include sensors to detect various conditions of the individual, such as heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, and the like. A computing device receives and processes the various conditions detected by the sensors. Based on the detected conditions, the computing device provides audio therapy which is adaptive to the condition of the patient and which is continuously adapted in real-time.
Quantification of the respiratory effort from hemodynamic measurements
A method for detecting or monitoring respiratory or cardiac health of a patient includes measuring any intravascular or intracardiac pressure (IVP) of a patient over a period of time, said IVP including a measured respiratory wave, defining respiratory effort of the patient as a peak-to-peak amplitude of said respiratory wave, and using the respiratory effort to detect or monitor respiratory and cardiac health of the patient by comparing the respiratory effort with a known value of respiratory effort or by monitoring changes in the respiratory effort of the patient over another period of time.
Estimating a Metabolic Rate of a User Wearing a Wearable Computing Device
A method for estimating a metabolic rate of a user includes obtaining pulse oximetry data for the user for a period of time. The method includes determining a rate of decline in oxygen saturation of blood of the user that is associated with a breathing rate of the user for the period of time based, at least in part, on the pulse oximetry data. The method includes estimating the metabolic rate of the user for the period of time based, at least in part, on the rate of decline in the oxygen saturation of the blood that is associated with the breathing rate of the user. The method includes providing a notification indicative of the metabolic rate for the period of time.
Assessment of Hemodynamics Parameters
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for predicting a hemodynamics parameter being conventionally obtained from an implanted sensor or catheter (invasive sensor), e.g., pulmonary artery pressure, based on noninvasive biosignals, such as electrocardiographic (ECG), impedance cardio graphic (ICG), phonocardiogram (PCG), pulse oximetry plethysmograph (PPG). The present disclosure also relates to a method of feeding multiple noninvasive biosignals and/or general inputs into an AI model or AI models to predict a hemodynamics parameter, such as pulmonary artery pressure, which is conventionally obtained from an implanted sensor or catheter.
EAR-WEARABLE DEVICES AND METHODS FOR RESPIRATORY CONDITION DETECTION AND MONITORING
Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable systems and devices that can detect respiratory conditions and related parameters. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable device for respiratory monitoring is included having a control circuit, a microphone, and a sensor package. The ear-wearable device can be configured to analyze signals from the microphone and/or the sensor package and detect a respiratory condition and/or parameter based on analysis of the signals. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable system for respiratory monitoring is included having an accessory device and an ear-wearable device. In an embodiment, a method of detecting respiratory conditions and/or parameters with an ear-wearable device system is included. Other embodiments are also included herein.
Apparatus, system, and method for monitoring physiological signs
An apparatus, system, and method monitors the motion, breathing, heart rate and sleep state of subjects, e.g., humans, in a convenient, non-invasive/non-contact, and low-cost fashion. More particularly, the motion, breathing, and heart rate signals are obtained through processing applied to a raw signal obtained in a non-contact fashion, typically using a radio-frequency sensor. Periods of sleep disturbed respiration, or central apnea can be detected through analysis of the respiratory signal. The mean heart rate, and derived information, such as the presence of cardiac arrhythmias can be determined from the cardiac signal. Motion estimates can be used to recognize disturbed sleep and periodic limb movements. The sleep state may be determined by applying a classifier model to the resulting streams of respiratory, cardiac and motion data. A means for display of the sleep state, respiratory, cardiac, and movement status may also be provided.
Breath analysis system and methods for asthma, tuberculosis and lung cancer diagnostics and disease management
Methods and systems are disclosed for the detecting of whether a subject has a lung disorder such as asthma, tuberculosis or lung cancer. Monitoring the subject's health and prognosis is also disclosed.

Conduit connector for a patient breathing device
In an embodiment, a connector or connector assembly for attaching a nasal cannula with a gas delivery hose includes a sensor port for a sensor probe positioned near an end of a nasal cannula, which can allow the sensor probe to be placed closer to the patient's nostrils than previous connector parts allowed. The connector can be configured to advantageously allow the nasal cannula to rotate relative to the gas delivery hose, thereby allowing a patient or healthcare provider to untangle or otherwise straighten the hose or the cannula. The connector assembly can be configured to automatically align locking protrusions on a first component with locking recesses on a second component, where insertion of the second component within the first component causes the second component to rotate relative to the first component, thereby aligning the locking protrusions with associated locking recesses.
