An ambulatory medical device includes a sensor configured to acquire a signal indicative of a physiological condition of a patient, a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and configured to monitor the physiological signal, and to perform a diagnostic test, and a remote access manager operatively coupled to the controller and configured to monitor for a command from a remote system to perform the diagnostic test, and to cause the controller to perform the diagnostic test in response to the command. In the device, the remote access manager may be further configured to transmit data representing an operational status of the ambulatory medical device to the remote system. The operational status of the controller may result from performing the diagnostic test. The remote access manager may be further configured to send the data representing the operational status of the ambulatory medical device in real time or substantially in real time.

Embodiments of a vaginal temperature sensing apparatus, a visually sense-able battery power-on indicator (16), manufacturing with cure temperatures that protect a battery, substantially error-free, user-initiated device activation componentry (30) to start battery power, and a timer to automatically terminate flow of battery power. Data can, by an automatic data transform recalculator (138) with body temperature dips in transformed and recalculated diurnal high body temperatures, predict an ovulation event and provide an indication through a zenith based ovulation indicator (106). Systems can include neural network based artificial intelligence to automatically self-improve by using historical or even other, multi user data and user input and improve its indication result.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to detecting implantable medical device orientation changes. In an exemplary embodiment, a medical device having a processor, comprises an acceleration sensor and memory. The acceleration sensor is configured to generate acceleration data that comprises a plurality of acceleration measurements. The memory comprises instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: obtain the acceleration data from the acceleration sensor; and determine, based on the acceleration data, that the medical device has flipped.

Provided are a seat system and a computer program product by which an occupant seated on a seat can grasp his/her own reflexes or the like. The seat system includes a seat which includes a seat body, and a sensor configured to acquire information for use in detecting motion of an occupant seated on the seat body, and a terminal configured to acquire the information from the sensor. The terminal outputs an instruction to prompt the occupant to make a predetermined motion, makes a determination based on the information acquired from the sensor as to whether or not the occupant has made the predetermined motion, and notifies the occupant of a response time elapsed between outputting the instruction and making the predetermined motion, and/or a performance level evaluated based on the response time.

Systems and methods for detecting a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The system comprises a sensing arrangement and a control unit. The sensing arrangement collects eye movement data of a user. The control unit is in communication with the sensing arrangement and configured to compare the eye movement data to one or more baseline measurements of eye movement dynamics. The control unit is also configured to generate an alert indicating the presence or severity of the TBI for delivery to control unit administrator if the eye movement data diverges from one or more of the baseline measurements by a threshold amount.

Methods and apparatus for monitoring fatigue and notifying an individual are described. The individual may be an operator of a vehicle, equipment, or machine, a student, or other person that may experience fatigue. Motion of the individual is monitored to detect a predescribed motion in response to a stimulus to first determine a base responsiveness profile. Afterwards, a current responsiveness profile is determined based on a prescribed motion in response to a stimulus, and if the current responsiveness profile exceeds a predetermined threshold of the base responsiveness profile, a notification is issued to the individual and, optionally, another person such as an employer, teacher, or parent.

A system comprising a remotely programmable micromonitor with a wireless sensing system-on-module (SOM), one or more sensors to detect one or more conditions in a subject by monitoring one or more parameters associated with the conditions by comparing any monitored parameter to a baseline measurement of the monitored parameter from the subject, a plurality of sensors corresponding to a monitored parameter and connected to the micromonitor to convey measurements of all monitored parameters, the sensors including at least one of a non-optical pulse wave sensor or an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, a communications module capable of communicating with a wireless technology, wherein the module can send an alert signal to the subject or an attending physician or a remote service center or any other subject, and one or more algorithms for monitoring conditions and/or for predicting conditions, including at least one of a fall detection or fall prediction algorithm.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO.sub.2) measurements may be used alone as a guide to determine when to defibrillate an individual. Alternatively, ETCO.sub.2 measurements may be used in combination with amplitude spectral area measurements as a guide to determine when to defibrillate an individual.

In an example method, a mobile device obtains a signal indicating an acceleration measured by a sensor over a time period. The mobile device determines an impact experienced by the user based on the signal. The mobile device also determines, based on the signal, one or more first motion characteristics of the user during a time prior to the impact, and one or more second motion characteristics of the user during a time after the impact. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the impact, the one or more first motion characteristics of the user, and the one or more second motion characteristics of the user, and in response, generates a notification indicating that the user has fallen.

A device for first responders and medical professionals to assist during the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient in need thereof. The device may also be used to train individuals on how to properly perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation by providing initial instructions about the process as well as real-time monitoring of the student's technique and providing real-time instructive feedback to the student so that the student may improve their skills. The invention also includes a method of using the device to coach first responders and medical professionals as they perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient in need thereof as well as a method of using the device to teach students about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
