An incontinence detection system monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. The system has a pad that includes a substrate and one or more sensors supported by the substrate. The sensor(s) emit wireless signals indicative of the moisture-related information. A sensor event communication system forwards the sensor signals to another device, such as a notification device. Portions of the system are included in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.
RADIO FREQUENCY RADAR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING VITAL INFORMATION AND HUMIDITY
A method for detecting vital information and humidity using a radio frequency radar device is provided. In the method, an incident radar signal is transmitted to a field to detect a reflected radar signal reflected by an object to be measured and a reflected radar signal reflected by a humidity sensing tag. Therefore, vital information of the object to be measured and humidity information detected by the humidity sensing tag are obtained.
MULTISIDE TILT DEVICE
The present subject matter discloses multiside tilt device (100) including a pressure sensing sheet (102) to detect the pressure exerted by the user's body in a pressure build-up area around the pressure sensor and generate a pressure signal indicating a pressure build-up at the pressure build-up area. The multiside tilt device (100) further includes a tilting unit (104) to tilt a portion of the user's body in response to the pressure signal by a predetermined angle. The tilting unit (104) comprises an inflatable base (106) having a first section (108-1) and a second section (108-2) pneumatically separated disposed adjacent to each other to be independently inflated or deflated. Each section (108) comprises one or more cells (112, 304) to be collectively inflated such that each cell (112, 304) is inflated to form an inflated structure having a peak in the center and a trough on either side.
Information processing method, information processing device, and recording medium
An information processing device obtains measurement data for calculating biological information of a measurement subject from a sensor that performs measurement without contact. Based on content of the measurement data, the measurement data is classified into a group associated with at least a position of the measurement subject, the biological information is calculated from the classified measurement data, and the calculated biological information is compared with a reference value associated with a group to which the measurement data belongs. Then, a notification is made based on the comparing.
Smart monitoring safety and quality of life system using sensors
A smart monitoring system comprising a plurality of sensor devices within a home or facility, at least one of the plurality of sensor devices comprising sensor elements configured to detect activity of an individual in the home or facility, and a computing device configured to receive activity signals from the plurality of sensor devices associated with the individual, parse the activity signals into scoring components including a sleep score, a motion score, and an event score, compute a current scoring of the individual based on the scoring components, compare the current scoring of the individual to historic scoring and peer scoring, generate a quality of life score for the individual based on the based on the comparison, and process a clinical analysis of the individual based on the quality of life score, the clinical analysis including graphical representations of the quality of life score and the scoring components.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEOPLE WELLNESS MONITORING
The present invention provides a wellness monitoring system provided with one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The wellness monitoring system includes a first device, a system cloud server, and a second device. The first device is handled by a first person. The first device includes a routine monitoring application configured to collect a set of data associated with the first person. The system cloud server is connected with the first device and the second device through a communication network. The system cloud server collects and stores the set of data collected by the routine monitoring application. The second device is associated with a second person, wherein the second device is configured to review, analyze, and compare, the set of data stored at the system cloud server.

RADAR APPARATUS WITH NATURAL CONVECTION
An apparatus detects and measures vital signs of each human target by a continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human’s wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans are living in a home. The apparatus has a natural convection spatial flow path that draws heat from at least one processor, one fan-less radar and a heat sink.
System and method for processing wireless backscattered signal using artificial intelligence processing for activities of daily life
In an example, the technique also detects and measures vital signs of each human target by continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans living in a home. Of course, there can be other variations, modifications, and alternatives.
OPTICAL IMAGING DEVICE AND CAP
The present invention provides a removable optical imaging device cap for use with a near infrared (NIR) light optical imaging device for detecting intracranial hematoma.
