One aspect of the present disclosure include a method of utilizing an oro-motor device to activate an audio device, the method includes providing an oro-motor device having a sensor and a nipple; producing a signal when the nipple portion present in an infants mouth when the nipple portion yields a first measured pressure over an age appropriate predetermined threshold applied to the nipple portion by the infant; responsive to the signal, playing an age appropriate audio recording for a predetermined duration on an audio device; and raising the age appropriate predetermined threshold to a raised threshold proportionally to a difference between the first measured pressure application to the nipple portion and the age appropriate predetermined threshold.

This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for detecting, monitoring, and responding to abnormalities in an infant's breathing. One or more sensing devices may collect infant breathing related data, which may be filtered and converted to a frequency signal. The frequency signal may be monitored for irregularity or stoppage, and a processing module may determine whether the irregularity or stoppage is caused by an actual stoppage or irregularity in infant breathing. If infant breathing is determined to have stopped, a corrective action may be performed.

A visual stimulus for a set of contrast cards is provided which comprises a hollow outer circle, opposing and identical first and second arc segment within the outer circle which are symmetrical about the vertical diameter of the outer circle, a first filled-in circle and a second filled-in circle being identical in diameter to the first filled-in circle, each residing on opposite ends of the horizontal diameter of the outer circle and each being equidistant from the center of the outer circle, a filled-in center element having a rotational center on the center of the outer circle, the center element being symmetrical about both the horizontal and vertical diameter of the outer circle.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media of estimating hearing thresholds using auditory brainstem responses (ABR). An example method includes: presenting at least one stimulus to a subject; receiving first ABR signals responsive to the at least one stimulus; fitting a model to at least the first ABR signals to provide a fitted model; generating, using the fitted model, predicted hearing thresholds across a range of frequencies and uncertainty associated with the hearing thresholds; determining a next stimulus based, at least in part, on the uncertainty associated with the hearing thresholds; and presenting the next stimulus to the subject.

A system and apparatus for collecting electroencephalography (EEG) data from infants and young children is disclosed.

Systems and techniques can prevent reflux induced laryngospasm and the pathologies resulting therefrom, including (but not limited to) sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

A method and apparatus for monitoring vital signs, such as cardiopulmonary activity, using a ballistograph are provided. The method and apparatus may be used to monitor an infant sleeping in a crib, a patient in a hospital, a person with a chronic disease at home or in professional care, or a person in an elder-care setting.

Methods and systems are described for detecting the likelihood of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in an infant using electrocardiogram and photoplethysmographic pulse signals obtained from the upper body and foot of the infant.

The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.
