A swimmer safety monitor apparatus for allowing adults to monitor swimming children's safety to prevent drowning includes a transmitter body and a strap coupled to the transmitter body to secure the apparatus on a user's wrist. A transmitter display is coupled to a body front side of the transmitter body. A CPU is coupled within the transmitter body and is in operational communication with the transmitter display. A battery, a biometric sensor, a power button, a panic button, and a transceiver are coupled to the transmitter body and are in operational communication with the CPU to communicate with a personal electronic device to send vitals from the biometric sensor and alerts from the panic button.

Methods and systems for predicting deterioration of a patient's condition within a future time interval based on a time series of values for monitored physiological variables measured from a patient, and in some instances, providing advanced notice to clinicians or caregivers when deterioration is forecasted or modifying treatment for the patient are provided. In particular, deterioration of a patient's condition is based on a Hopf bifurcation model and is predicted using a ratio of deviations for monitored physiological variables. A ratio of deviations relates the standard deviation and root mean square of successive differences for a set of physiological values measured over time. The RoD for one or more variables, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, may be used to predict the likelihood of the patient's condition deteriorating into an unstable state as what occurs in a Hopf bifurcation.

A method for monitoring health of a person by a health monitoring system includes: measuring movement data of a person using a wearable health monitoring device, determined whether the person is in a deep sleep mode based on the movement data, automatically measuring a respiratory rate of the person that is in a deep sleep mode, determining that the person is in one of a plurality of respiration zones, measuring at least one of a body temperature, an ambient temperature, a sleeping position, a smoke or carbon monoxide level, a video, and images of the person, and automatically producing an alarm signal if a predetermined criterion is met based on the respiration zone and at least one of the body temperature, the ambient temperature, the smoke level, the carbon monoxide level, a sleeping position, or the images of the person.

A system and method for providing remote telemedicine, remote rehabilitation or other training is disclosed. Tracking remote physical therapy or training using asynchronous or synchronous feedback between scheduled sessions, where the scheduled sessions can be performed in person or remotely provide for safe and expeditious treatment in situations where in-person sessions cannot be safely conducted and/or when other situations exist making virtual sessions desirable. Tracking subject process between sessions is also accomplished by manual data entry, wearable sensors or video capture by a patient computing device.

An individual monitoring device includes a main body provided with a display screen, a bracelet linked to the main body, a measurement instrument to be positioned opposite a radial artery of the wrist of the user, a processor and a location device. The location device includes a geolocation sensor, an avalanche victim detector and a communications device configured to communicate with a beacon. The device monitors against drowning of a child and includes a first sensor to measure a first parameter physiological parameter of the child, and a second sensor to measure a second physiological parameter of the child. The processor is configured to analyze the first physiological parameter and the second measured physiological parameter, and output information indicating the detection or the non-detection of an anomaly based on the analysis of the first and second physiological parameters.

A method is provided which performs at least two different tests on a given child at respectively at least two different ages of said child. In the course of a first test, a first information is displayed to the child and meanwhile a controller acquires first data about eye movements of the child via an eye-tracking device and determines a first score by comparison of said first data with first pre-recorded reference data. The same is performed in the course of a second test at a second age of said child with second information which is different from the first information, hence yielding a second score. A composite score is then calculated for said child in function of at least the first and the second scores. This composite score is a more reliable indication of a risk of neurodevelopmental disorder than indicators obtained with known methods.

A method is provided in order to evaluate a risk of child having a neurodevelopmental disorder. Firstly, a first and a second information are shown simultaneously to the child at two different places on a display screen. Then the first and second information are removed from the display screen for a while and meanwhile movements of the eye of the child are tracked and recorded. Next, a third information is displayed on the display screen, at a location where the second information was previously displayed. This sequence is repeated a number of times. Next, a score for the child is established in function of the movements of his eye(s) as recorded while the first and second information were removed from the display screen. This score gives an indication of a risk of neurodevelopmental disorder with the child.

A spectrophotometric apparatus for determining optical parameters in a scattering medium based on the measurement of attenuation of light propagating through said medium by diffusion. To eliminate the detrimental effect of light being guided in an intermediate optical layer between a surface of the medium and a contact surface of the apparatus, either a multitude of optical barriers may be formed in the contact surface or the angular range over which light is emitted or received by the apparatus may be limited by appropriate means. With both of these alternative approaches, light propagation in the intermediate layer can be suppressed, leading to increased measurement accuracy. This is particularly beneficial for building an oximeter with improved precision. Further aspects include features for improving the applicability of the apparatus on curved surfaces such as the strongly curved skulls of neonates.

Information representing a physique of a subject is extracted from an image obtained by imaging the subject. A group in which the subject is classified is specified, using the extracted information representing the physique of the subject. Image data representing a medical image obtained by imaging the subject is input to a learned model corresponding to a specified group among learned models obtained for each group by machine learning using learning data for each group. Information representing an area extracted from the medical image is acquired, which is output from the learned model with the input.

A system and method for automatic determination of type of pneumatic cuff is disclosed. A system can include a pneumatic cuff with an integrated valve, and a console connectable to the pneumatic cuff. The console can be a pneumatic control system that can include a processor and memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to: inflate the pneumatic cuff through the integrated valve past a threshold pressure such that the integrated valve opens, receive sensor data indicative of a pressure curve during inflation of the pneumatic cuff, compare the pressure curve to stored pressure curves, determine a recommendation, based on the comparison, including information verifying the type of pneumatic cuff attached, and output the recommendation to a user.
