The invention provides a system and method for measuring vital signs (e.g. SYS, DIA, SpO2, heart rate, and respiratory rate) and motion (e.g. activity level, posture, degree of motion, and arm height) from a patient. The system features: (i) first and second sensors configured to independently generate time-dependent waveforms indicative of one or more contractile properties of the patient's heart; and (ii) at least three motion-detecting sensors positioned on the forearm, upper arm, and a body location other than the forearm or upper arm of the patient. Each motion-detecting sensor generates at least one time-dependent motion waveform indicative of motion of the location on the patient's body to which it is affixed. A processing component, typically worn on the patient's body and featuring a microprocessor, receives the time-dependent waveforms generated by the different sensors and processes them to determine: (i) a pulse transit time calculated using a time difference between features in two separate time-dependent waveforms, (ii) a blood pressure value calculated from the time difference, and (iii) a motion parameter calculated from at least one motion waveform.

A dynamic wake-up alarm is provided-for, including a clock, a contactless biometric sensor, a processor, memory, and a speaker. The processor may be configured to receive a wake-up rule based on at least two wake-up criteria including a time from the clock and data from the biometric sensor, and evaluate whether the criteria are met to activate an alarm.

A biofeedback headset for providing input to and receiving output from an information handling system may include a controller to send and receive audio signals to and from the information handling system and send biofeedback signals to the information handling system; one or more speakers mounted to a wearable head band to provide audio output from the information handling system to a user; and a mouthpiece operatively coupled to the wearable headband including: a microphone to receive audio input from the user; a pressure sensor to detect a breathing rate and amplitude of the user and, with the controller, provide breathing rate and amplitude biofeedback signals to the information handling system; and a gas sensor to detect a composition of air at the mouthpiece as the user respirates and, with the controller, provide air composition biofeedback signals to the information handling system.

An emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device with artificial intelligence is disclosed herein. The emergency cardiac and electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode placement device incorporates electrical conducting materials and elastic material into a pad that is applied to a chest wall of a patient, which places multiple electrodes in the appropriate anatomic locations on the patient to quickly obtain an ECG in a pre-hospital setting. The AI program continuously runs EKGs to continuously monitor a patient.

A sleep monitor for monitoring baby sleep uses sleep state classification based on heartbeat feature respiration features. The sleep monitor automatically retrains the classification during use of the sleep monitor. Training examples for use in this training process are generated automatically by detecting time instants whereat the baby in the bed is in a wake state, based on signals from the at least one of a sound feature detector a movement feature detector (112) and an open eye detector (114). The retraining may comprise using time sequence from the end of detection of wake states to assign a class to heartbeat feature and/or respiration feature values during that time sequence for the training process. In an embodiment, the retraining comprises clustering detected heartbeat feature and/or respiration feature values detected outside the detected wake states.

Sensing devices including sensors such as flexible and stretchable fabric-based pressure sensors, may be associated with or incorporated in garments, such as socks, intended to be worn against a body surface (directly or indirectly). Specific manifestations of a sensing system incorporated in a sock substrate are described in detail. Dedicated electronic devices interface electrically with sensors through intermediate conductive traces, optional conductive bridges, conductive contacts provided in a mounting tab.

Disclosed is an apparatus for recording respiratory rate of a subject. The apparatus comprises a first component to be arranged on the subject and away from nostrils of the subject, the first component comprises a battery, optionally electronics for the sensor, and electronics for transmitting respiration rate data; and a second component for being arranged in an area of the nose of the subject, the second component comprising at least one sensor for recording respiratory rate. Disclosed is also a method for recording respiratory rate of a subject with such an apparatus. The method comprises arranging the second component in an area of the nose of the subject; arranging the first component on the subject and no further than 30 centimeters from the second component; recording respiratory rate data with the second component, and sending the respiratory rate data to the first component; and sending the respiratory rate data from the first component to a monitor or a hub.

A method for monitoring physical conditions of an operator of a driving apparatus is described. The method includes obtaining an identity of the operator, acquiring signals indicating a physical condition of the operator, and determining whether the physical condition as indicated by the signals has breached a predetermined threshold. Further, when it is determined that the physical condition as indicated by the signals has breached a predetermined threshold, the method includes generating a first status indicating the operator suffers an abnormal physical condition, obtaining a current location of the driving apparatus, generating a first notification based on the first status, the first notification indicating the identity of the operator and the current location of the driving apparatus, the first notification describing the first user suffers the abnormal physical condition, and transmitting the first notification to a data receiver in a healthcare facility.

Provided is an electronic device to monitor a user's biological measurements, where a sensor is configured to acquire a first signal from a user, and a diagnostic processor is configured to pre-process the first signal to generate a second signal, segment the second signal to form signal segments, determine at least one event location for each of the signal segments, match adjacent signal segments for feature alignment, and provide a third signal using results of the feature alignment.
