Systems and methods for analyzing, interpreting, and acting on continuous glucose monitoring data

Methods and devices include automated coaching for management of glucose states by receiving a user's glucose levels using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device, determining a time in range (TIR) value, determining a TIR state, receiving a glucose variability (GV) value, determining a GV state, determining a starting state based on the TIR state and the GV state, determining that the starting state corresponds to a non-ideal state, generating an optimized pathway to reach an ideal state based on one or more account vectors such as addressing self-management behavior including food, activity, and medication use. The optimized pathway may further be based on computer detection and classification of significant events of interest over time.

As such, through the first and second physiological features, the liveness detecting unit is able to determine whether a subject is a living body or not. The liveness detecting device does not use any camera unit and iPPG technology, such that the liveness detecting device has advantages of simple structure, low cost and immediately completing liveness detection.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING WETNESS PERCEPTION
20210228081 · 2021-07-29 ·

Processes, scales, and devices to measure and quantify wetness perception in humans. Exemplary devices and scales utilize sensor fusion of temperature and pressure modalities, for which humans have dedicated receptors in the skin, to understand how the perception of wetness comes about. Processes test the utility of wetness perception as a biomarker for assaying peripheral neuropathy. Wetness perception devices include a Peltier module. The temperature of the Peltier module can be varied precisely using a computer-aided feedback system, mounted on a load scale to enable concomitant pressure measurements. Devices may include an insulation chamber with desiccators in place to lower internal humidity and prevent condensation. Wetness perception can be used as a non-invasive biomarker for disease-related peripheral neuropathy in which sensory mechanisms are disrupted.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING SOUND DATA TO ANALYZE HEALTH CONDITION AND WELFARE STATES IN COLLECTIONS OF FARM ANIMALS

Systems and methods are described for selecting a sound type of interest from a first (e.g., master/global) machine learning library comprising information derived from reference audio stream data acquired from a plurality of farm animal operation reference sound monitoring events, including from a first farm animal operation monitoring event of a first farm animal operation, wherein the sound type of interest is associated with a condition state of interest of a first collection of farm animals. Further, information associated with the selected sound type of interest can be included a second machine learning library, wherein the second machine learning library is operational on an edge computing device located in proximity to a second farm animal operation. Audio stream data can be acquired from the second farm animal operation in a second farm animal operation monitoring event, and processed using the second machine learning library information to determine whether the sound type of interest is present in the acquired audio stream data, thereby generating information associated with the presence or absence of the condition during the second farm animal operation monitoring event.
