A method for preparing an audiogram of a test subject by use of a hearing instrument. A sound signal is recorded in an auditory canal of the test subject at least partially closed by the hearing instrument by a first electroacoustic input transducer of the hearing instrument. A first input signal is generated therefrom. A test sound is generated by an electroacoustic output transducer of the hearing instrument and output into the auditory canal of the test subject at least partially closed by the hearing instrument. A hearing threshold of the test subject at at least one test frequency is ascertained on a basis of a reaction of the test subject to the test sound and by use of the first input signal.

A wearable device includes: a base to be worn on a head of a user; a first sensor that is provided to the base to be at a distance from a surface of the user's head and measures a first signal relating to a temperature of the surface of the user's head; an estimation circuit that estimates a body temperature of the user based on the first signal; and a display that presents the body temperature of the user estimated by the estimation circuit.

A sheet-shaped oral appliance is provided that is detachably attached to an oral body device and includes a functional portion with a sensor unit that acquires information in an oral cavity and an energy irradiation unit that radiates energy into the oral cavity, an electrical connection portion, and a wiring portion that connects at least one of the sensor unit and the energy irradiation unit to the electrical connection portion. The functional portion, the connection portion, and the wiring portion are formed by a wiring layer having first and second main surfaces that oppose each other, a first insulating layer arranged on the first main surface and a second insulating layer arranged on the second main surface. Moreover, in the functional portion, a thickness of the first insulating layer is smaller than a thickness of the second insulating layer.

Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to non-invasive patient monitoring for infection detection and infection resolution. These systems and methods may receive and measure patient biosignals to estimate an infection level of a patient. In some embodiments, a method may include the steps of receiving physiological data of a patient. An infection measure may be estimated based on the physiological data. An infection state of the patient may be detected based at least in part on the estimated infection measure.

A dental treatment appliance transmits a pulsed light signal towards the oral cavity and captures images of the oral cavity from light returned from the oral cavity. A controller actuates the treatment of the oral cavity of the user depending on the captured images.

An orthopedic system configured for use in a pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative assessment. The orthopedic system comprises a first screw, a second screw, a first device, a second device, and a computer. The first device and the second device are respectively coupled to a first bone and a second bone of a musculoskeletal system. The first and second devices each include electronic circuitry, one or more sensors, and an IMU. A bracket, wrap, or sleeve can be used to hold the first and second devices to the musculoskeletal system. The first and second devices are configured to send measurement data to a computer. The first and second devices each have an antenna system. Electronic circuitry in the first or second devices are configured to harvest energy from a received radio frequency signal to recharge a battery to maintain operation.

A child safety seat checking system for a child safety seat of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, is comprised of at least one child safety seat, a first checking device for checking whether a child is located in the child safety seat, and a second checking device for checking whether a person supervising the child is present, wherein the second checking device is designed to operate in an at least partly portable manner in an operating state of the child safety seat checking system and/or is designed to operate regardless of an on/off state of the vehicle.

Techniques for acquiring and processing data in combination with a photonic sensor system-on-a-chip (SoC) (1) to provide real-time calibrated concentration levels of an analyte (e.g., a constituent molecule within a biological substance) are described. A raw signal (1300) to be analyzed is collected by the sensor chip (1) via diffuse reflectance or transmittance. Determination of the analyte concentration is based on, in part, Beer-Lambert principles and facilitated by applying (2240) scattering correction to the raw signal (1300) prior to decomposition and analysis thereof.

Systems and methods to determine a risk factor related to dehydration and thermal stress of a subject are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: generate output signals, by one or more sensors worn on a body of a subject, conveying information related to one or more of location of the subject, motion of the subject, temperature of the subject, cardiovascular parameters of the subject; store information related to the subject; obtain the output signals; determine in an ongoing manner, from the output signals, values of a water loss metric that correlates with estimated percentage of bodyweight of the subject lost in water; obtain heat index information for a contextual environment surrounding the subject; determine in an ongoing manner, from the output signals, values of an exertion metric that correlates with exertion of the subject due to work; and determine in an ongoing manner values for an aggregated risk factor of the subject.

The invention relates to a system for determining a value representing a sleep quality, wherein the system has an evaluation device (10) for connecting to at least one sensor (11), which can be coupled to a piece of sleep or rest furniture for detecting vibrations, movement and/or sound in order to extract physiological data (12) of at least one person using the piece of sleep or rest furniture. The system is characterized in that at least one additional sensor (21) is provided on the sleep or rest furniture or in an environment of the sleep or rest furniture, which sensor is designed for detecting environmental parameters (5).
