Smart ETT ventilation attachment and method of use
An add-on device and method for an Endo-Tracheal Tube (ETT), the add-on device including a lengthy body having a major arc-shaped cross section sized and shaped to tightly fit over an ETT, at least one longitudinal cavity passing along the lengthy body, including a distal suction cavity ending with a suction inlet at a distal end of the lengthy body; and a distal suction outlet channel extending from a proximal end of the lengthy body, the channel is a continuous extension of the distal suction cavity and configured to provide suction to the distal suction cavity. The add-on device senses moisture at a distal end of the add-on device, and in case of detection of excessive wetness, provides suction to the distal end of the device through a cavity passing along the device, the suction is provided via a suction outlet channel extending from a proximal end of the device.
METHOD AND APPARATUSES FOR MODULATING SLEEP BY CHEMICAL ACTIVATION OF TEMPERATURE RECEPTORS
Apparatuses (including devices, kits, and systems) and methods to non-invasively and chemically (rather than thermally) activate thermoreceptors to modulate sleep. For example, described herein are apparatuses including topical compositions that stimulate thermoreceptors on the subject's skin (e.g., forehead, hands, and/or feet) for a period of time to induce a sensation of temperature (heat or cold) without significantly altering the person's actual skin temperature to improve sleep quality, including reducing sleep-onset latency, enhancing depth of sleep, and/or extending the amount of time a subject sleeps. The subject may be suffering from insomnia or some other sleep disorder.

Craniaofacial emotional response influencer for audio and visual media
An emotional enhancement system for music and film that uses audio and video input to select or generate a stimulation pattern which stimulates the user's face using lights and electrical stimulation directed to certain points on the user's face and head which are believed to induce certain emotions. Using the system, a user's emotional experience of the music or film can be enhanced by inducing emotions in the user coordinated with portions of the music or film. In some embodiments, biometric sensors or cameras and facial tracking software may be used to monitor the emotions displayed by a user while listening to music or watching films, and adjust the stimulation accordingly.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING SLOW WAVE SLEEP STAGE
A method and apparatus is disclosed for slow wave sleep improvement. The method includes recording a biosignal from a skin area of a patient using an electrode system. The slow wave stage of NREM sleep is detected by analyzing an oscillation rate of the biosignal. If the slow wave stage is detected, threshold electrocutaneous stimulation is applied to improve the quality of sleep. The described embodiment relates to an apparatus for slow wave sleep improvement comprising an electrode system, a measuring unit, a therapy unit and a processor. The processor is coupled to the measurement unit for receiving the biosignal corresponding to the electrodermal activity. The processor proceses the biosignal to determine the slow wave sleep stage and activates the therapy unit to deliver threshold electrocuteneous therapy to the patient with the purpose of improving the slow wave sleep stage.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MINIMIZING COGNITIVE DECLINE USING AUGMENTED REALITY
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.
METHOD FOR PROVIDING MENTAL MASSAGE TO HELP TREAT ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION, AND MASSAGE DEVICE
Disclosed are a method and a device for providing a mental massage to help treat anxiety and depression. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device for providing a mental massage to help treat anxiety and depression is disclosed, the device including: a mental state determination unit for determining a mental state on the basis of a biosignal of a user; a mental massage pattern determination unit for determining a mental massage pattern on the basis of the determined mental state; and a mental massage provision unit for providing a massage on the basis of the mental massage pattern.
INTELLIGENT GLASSES AND GLASSES BOX
The present disclosure relates to a pair of intelligent glasses and a glasses box. The intelligent glasses can include a frame assembly having an inner frame portion and an outer frame portion that is arranged around the inner frame portion, a detection component configured to detect physiological characteristics of a wearer, a control component connected with the detection component and configured to acquire a control signal generated according to the physiological characteristics and a treatment component, connected with the control component and configured to output treatment signals according to the control signal. One or more accommodating spaces are formed between the inner frame portion and the outer frame portion. The treatment signals include at least one of a phototherapy signal, a sonic wave signal, a sound wave signal, magnetic waves, or electromagnetic waves. The detection component, the control component and the treatment component are located in the accommodating spaces.
