Systems and methods for assessment of tissue function based on vascular disease
Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing tissue function based on vascular disease. One method includes receiving a patient-specific anatomic model generated from patient-specific imaging of at least a portion of a patient's tissue; receiving a patient-specific vascular model generated from patient-specific imaging of at least a portion of a patient's vasculature; receiving an estimate of blood supplied to a portion of the patient-specific anatomic model; and determining a characteristic of the function of the patient's tissue using the estimate of blood supplied to the portion of the patient-specific anatomic model.
Apparatus for assessing user frailty
An apparatus for assessing user frailty is disclosed. In embodiments, the apparatus includes a housing that defines (or is defined by) a body and a handle coupled to the body. The apparatus includes a force sensor at least partially disposed within the handle. The apparatus further includes an inertial sensor at least partially disposed within the housing. The apparatus may further include a user interface device disposed within a cavity of the body. The user interface device may be coupled to the force sensor and the inertial sensor via one or more signal paths. In embodiments, the user interface device includes a controller with a touchscreen coupled to the controller.
DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING INFORMATION ON MUSCULOSKELETAL RECOVERY
The present invention relates to a device, system and method for generating information on musculoskeletal recovery of a subject. To enable the generation of additional information on recovery of a subject to better avoid over-fatigue, injuries and overuse fractures, the device (10) comprises a sensor input (11) configured to receive a motion parameter and/or motion signal related to motion of the subject performing an activity; a processor (12) configured to determine from the motion parameter and/or motion signal a measure of impact load, determine from the measure of impact load a measure of musculoskeletal damage, and determine from the measure of impact load information on musculoskeletal recovery indicating to which extent the musculoskeletal damage recovers over time; and an output (13) configured to output the determined information on musculoskeletal recovery.
WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEMS INCLUDING NEUROMUSCULAR SENSORS

Algorithms for detecting athletic fatigue, and associated methods
Systems and methods for detecting athletic performance and fatigue are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for monitoring athletic performance of an athlete includes: monitoring a heart rate (HR) of the athlete by a wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor carried by the athlete; determining a rate of change of the HR over a period of time; comparing the rate of change to a predetermined threshold; and based on the comparing, determining whether the athlete is fatigued.
Blood-purification-treatment support system
A blood-purification-treatment support system is capable of making an accurate judgement of whether or not any treatment conditions for blood purification treatment should be changed. The blood-purification-treatment support system is capable of supporting blood purification treatment. The system includes a storage device that stores patient-specific patient data that are acquired on a plurality of days including at least no-treatment days on which blood purification treatment is not conducted, an estimating device that compares the patient data for the plurality of days stored in the storage device with one another and estimates a pre-treatment patient state regarding blood purification treatment, and a judging device that judges from the pre-treatment patient state estimated by the estimating device whether or not any treatment conditions for blood purification treatment should be changed.
