A footwear system having a plurality of temperature sensors determines the emergence of an ulcer or pre-ulcer on a person's foot. After the plurality of temperature sensors generate a plurality of discrete temperature data values, the system and method form a temperature map representing substantially the actual geometric shape of at least a portion of the foot, and the distribution of temperatures of the at least a portion of the foot. Next, the method and system determine whether the temperature map presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns, and produces output information indicating an emergence of an ulcer or a pre-ulcer on a given portion on the foot. The output information is produced as a function of whether the temperature map is determined to present the at least one of the plurality of prescribed patterns.

Assessing the sleep quality of a user in association with an electronic device with one or more physiological sensors includes detecting an attempt by the user to fall asleep, and collecting physiological information associated with the user. The disclosed method of assessing sleep quality may include determining respective values for one or more sleep quality metrics, including a first set of sleep quality metrics associated with sleep quality of a plurality of users, and a second set of sleep quality metrics associated with historical sleep quality of the user, based at least in part on the collected physiological information and at least one wakeful resting heart rate of the user, and determining a unified score for sleep quality of the user, based at least in part on the respective values of the one or more sleep quality metrics.

An exemplary device, according to the present disclosure, provides a housing, an AR lens, a projector, a memory, and a control system. The control system and memory determine when the user is confused. The control system then provides for projecting a reorientation graphic via the projector directed at the AR lens. In some implementations, the reorientation graphic provides real time information and reminders to a user as they proceed through life. The exemplary device enables a user to maintain greater independence and a more normal lifestyle with the assistance of the reorientation graphic.

A control unit is configured to be attached to one of an outside of the back brace and inside a cavity formed in the back brace. The control unit is configured for (a) processing signals from the at least one pressure sensor, (b) communicating with at least one external computing apparatus, (c) informing and guiding in real time and incentivizing a patient to more efficiently wear the back brace by at least providing indications to the patient for tightening the at least one strap by comparing a pressure value provided by the at least one pressure sensor with at least one calibration value, and (d) enabling a doctor to more efficiently monitor, intervene, and manage the patient and treatment in real time.

Novel systems and methods use extracted features from audio signals of patient breathing sounds taken during periods of full wakefulness in order to classify patients as either having, or not having, obstructive sleep apnea using a Random Forest machine learning algorithm. In some embodiments, the features are preprocessed then modeled. The models with a high correlation to the response and low overlap percentages are selected for use in the Random Forest classification process.
