A turbulator adapted to be mounted to or inserted in an inlet portion of a flow meter for a ventilator is disclosed. The turbulator is adapted to create a turbulent gas flow in the inlet portion downstream of the turbulator upon passage of a gas flow therethrough. A flow meter for a ventilator is provided. The flow meter may comprise such turbulator. The turbulator may be arranged in the inlet portion of the flow meter. A membrane for a ventilator flow meter is provided, as well as a flow meter comprising the membrane. A flow meter comprising a turbulator and a membrane is disclosed.

This sleep assistance apparatus includes a stimulation generation unit that generates stimulation, a user being capable of receiving the stimulation; a detection unit that detects biological information of the user; and a control unit that decides optimal stimulation on the basis of the detected biological information, and causes the stimulation generation unit to generate the optimal stimulation.

Disclosed herein are methods of reducing anxiety and/or agitation in a subject, with a neurological disorder, or a subject undergoing therapy, comprising exposing the subject to reminiscence therapy via a digital therapeutic device. The digital therapeutic device can include a transceiver configured to communicate with a database and a first user device and a processor operatively coupled to the user interface, a microphone, a speaker, and the transceiver.

A sleeping environment control system and method includes sensing a condition of environment to obtain a value of an environmental condition parameter, and then generating a value of a thermal sensation indicator according to the value of the environmental condition parameter. A physiological status of a user is sensed to obtain a value of a physiological status parameter. After a plurality of values of the thermal sensation indicator and a plurality of values of the physiological status parameter are collected, a regression analysis is performed to obtain a best value of the thermal sensation indicator according to the plurality of values of the thermal sensation indicator and the plurality of values of the physiological status parameter. A value of an environmental condition setting parameter is adjusted according to the best value of the thermal sensation indicator.
