Systems and methods for predicting problem behavior in individuals with developmental and behavior disabilities. A plurality of sensors are configured to collect multimodal data signals of a subject individual including a wearable upper body motion sensing device with a plurality of inertial measurement units (IMUs). An electronic controller is configured to receive output signals from each of IMUs and to model an upper body position of the subject individual based on the output signals from the IMUs. A trained machine-learning model is then applied by providing an input data set that includes multimodal signal data (e.g., including signal data from at least one IMU) and/or features extracted from the multimodal signal data. The machine-learning model is trained to produce as output an indication of whether a precursor to the problem behavior is detected and, in response to detecting the precursor, a notification (or alarm) is generated.

A joint replacement balancing system which provides real-time feedback to a surgeon during a joint replacement surgery to assist the surgeon to balance a joint replacement. The joint replacement balancing system includes a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to receive a signal from a joint balancing apparatus, determine if the joint replacement is out of balance, determine a corrective course of action to bring the joint into balance and generate and display to the surgeon during the joint replacement surgery a recommended corrective course of action to complete the joint replacement surgery.

A system for facilitating resuscitation includes: a first electrode assembly having a therapy side and a first motion sensor; a second electrode assembly having a therapy side and a second motion sensor; processing circuitry operatively connected to and programmed to receive and process signals from the first and second motion sensors to estimate at least one of a chest compression depth and rate during administration of chest compressions and to compare the chest compression depth or rate to a desired range; and an output device for providing instructions to a user to administer chest compressions based on the comparison of the estimated chest compression depth or rate to the desired range.
