A computer system for blue-light therapy comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions including determining a need for blue-light therapy, and providing a blue-light stimulus to a user, wherein the blue-light stimulus comprises a visible range of 380 to 500 nm, and wherein, in response to the blue-light stimulus, a circadian rhythm of the user is shifted to a second rhythm, the second rhythm different than the circadian rhythm prior to the administration of the blue-light stimulus.

A method for inducing a hibernation-like state and a device for the same is described. The method is a chemical and physical method for reducing, in a subject, a theoretical set-point temperature of a body temperature and/or a feedback gain of heat production, or for inducing a hibernation-like state in the subject, the method including applying an excitatory stimulus to pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP)-producing neurons. A device used to implement the method is also described.

Systems, and methods relate to a medical device receiving a treatment parameter operating point within a first operating region defined by a first set of operating points for which automatic incremental adjustment of a parameter in the current operation is permitted. In an illustrative example, incremental adjustment may use artificial intelligence based on patient feedback and sensor measurement of outcomes. Some exemplary devices may receive a request to alter the current treatment parameter operating point to a second treatment parameter operating point outside the first operating region and in a second operating region in a known safe operation zone, bounded by a known unsafe zone unavailable to the user. In the second operating region, some examples may restrict the step size of incremental adjustments requested by the user. Data may be collected for cloud-based analysis, for example, to facilitate discovery of more effective treatment protocols.

A method and system to manage a respiratory condition of a patient. An oxygen concentrator is configured to generate and deliver oxygen enriched air to the patient according to a selected dosage. The oxygen concentrator senses and collects physiological data of the patient and collects operational data during the generation and delivery of oxygen enriched air. The oxygen concentrator adjusts the dosage of oxygen enriched air based on the sensed physiological data. The oxygen concentrator transmits operational data and the physiological data to a health data analysis engine. The health data analysis engine collects the data transmitted by the oxygen concentrator. The health analysis engine detects a triggering event based on the collected data and determines an action to resolve the detected triggering event.

The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques for enhancing a user’s performance. In particular, the physiological characteristics of the user can be altered toward target characteristics to bring about a particular physiological state in the user. Multiple physiological signals of the user may be sensed. Physiological characteristics indicative of a physiological state of the user may be determined. A differential between the physiological characteristics and selected target physiological characteristics may be determined. A selected energy signal associated with a correction action may be communicated to nerves associated with the user’s skin by outputting, using an energy generator, the energy signal toward the skin with one or more different energy types based on the differential. This may allow a particular targeted physiological state to be more rapidly brought about in the user.
