Systems and techniques for enhanced sleep tracking, monitoring, and conditioning are discussed herein. A device may be couplable to, or integrally formed with, a piece of furniture (a “nearable”) receives sensor data from one or more sensors accessible to the device and, based on a determined stage of sleep, may actuate one or more devices for conditioning sleep. In some examples, the nearable may be configured to receive a smartphone such that one or more processors and sensors of the smartphone may be used to perform at least some of the processes. When configured to receive a smartphone, the nearable's cavity may retain the smartphone via a spring mechanism to create an additional button for user interaction, as well as be shaped to minimize an amount of electromagnetic radiation (including light emitted from a screen) of the smartphone, while optimizing sounds output from the smartphone.

The present disclosure provides an image display method and an image display system for alleviating motion sickness. The image display method includes: obtaining a number of shock and speed information of a transportation; comparing at least one of the shock and speed information with one or more than one corresponding threshold to determine whether motion sickness occurs; and in response to the determination that motion sickness occurs, positioning a position of a first image displayed on a display unit according to the shock and speed information.

Light weight, compact, battery powered, body-worn devices and systems are configured to allow automated, hands-free monitoring and care intervention, such as of an infant, by providing audio and/or physical stimulus when a negative comfort or health condition is detected by the body-worn device and system, and by monitoring the infant's temperature, pulse, and oxygen levels. The body-worn device preferably includes a flexible printed circuit board (“FPCB”) that allows the device to be conformed to the wearer's body, and has a plurality of linear resonant actuators affixed to the FPCB that are configured to impart soothing vibrations from the device to the wearer. A control program is provided and executable on a remote computing device, which control program is configured to enable users (such as a caregiver) to selectively control the actuators. The device may include a water-resistant casing covering its internal components, including the actuators, FPCB, battery, and those portions of on-board sensors not intended for direct monitoring contact with the wearer.

A head tilt motion assistance system includes a head tilt detection unit that detects a tilt of a head of a user, and a motion assistance notification unit that makes a motion assistance notification that is a notification for assisting in a head tilt motion that is a motion in which the user tilts the head, and the motion assistance notification unit makes the motion assistance notification on the basis of the tilt detected by the head tilt detection unit.

A vehicle includes a plurality of sensors mounted on a seat, an output device, and a controller. The controller is configured to obtain an acceleration in each of a first seat in contact with a driver's back and a second seat in contact with a driver's thigh through the plurality of sensors, to determine a specific frequency in each of the first seat and the second seat, to determine contact pressure information and load information of each of the first seat and the second seat through the plurality of sensors, to determine a human vibration sensitivity using at least one of the specific frequency, the contact pressure information, and the load information, to determine driver's emotional information including positive emotional information and arousal emotional information based on the human vibration sensitivity, and to control the output device according to the driver's emotional information.

A feedback device for an acute care provider includes: at least one motion sensor; a haptic output component for providing feedback having a varying haptic pattern to the acute care provider regarding performance of a resuscitation activity; and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive and process a signal representative of performance of the resuscitation activity from the at least one motion sensor, compare the acute care provider's performance of the resuscitation activity to a target performance of the resuscitation activity, and cause the haptic output component to provide haptic feedback to the acute care provider by changing the haptic pattern based, at least in part, on the signal from the at least one motion sensor and the comparison of the acute care provider's performance to the target performance of the resuscitation activity. The device can be adapted to be wrist-worn by the acute care provider.
