Particular embodiments described herein provide for an apparatus to determine biometric data of a user including: a processing circuit configured to: generate a control signal relating to a control value for controlling a wavelength of emitted light of a light source; receive biometric input data based on reflected light from the skin of the user caused by the light of the wavelength emitted by the light source; and determine biometric data of the user based on the biometric input data; and an output interface configured to provide the biometric data of the user.

A wearable device may be provided for detecting cumulative alcohol consumption. Such a wearable device may include an adhesive layer that adheres to skin and that allows sweat from the skin to pass through and a customizable ink layer that reacts irreversibly to change color along a gradient as ethanol is detected in the sweat. The customizable ink continues to increase color intensity along the gradient as ethanol continues to be detected in the sweat over time.

Kits, diagnostic systems and methods are provided, which measure the distribution of colors of skin features by comparison to calibrated colors which are co-imaged with the skin feature. The colors on the calibration template (calibrator) are selected to represent the expected range of feature colors under various illumination and capturing conditions. The calibrator may also comprise features with different forms and size for calibrating geometric parameters of the skin features in the captured images. Measurements may be enhanced by monitoring over time changes in the distribution of colors, by measuring two and three dimensional geometrical parameters of the skin feature and by associating the data with medical diagnostic parameters. Thus, simple means for skin diagnosis and monitoring are provided which simplify and improve current dermatologic diagnostic procedures.

Systems and methods for tracking healing progress of multiple adjacent wounds are provided. In one embodiment, a system may include a processor configured to receive a first image of a plurality of adjacent wounds near a form of colorized surface having colored reference elements, determine colors of the plurality of wounds, correct for local illumination conditions, receive a second image of the plurality of wounds near the form of colorized surface, to determine second colors of the plurality of wounds in the second image, match each of the plurality of wounds in the second image to a wound of the plurality of wounds in the first image, and determine an indicator of the healing progress for each of the plurality of wounds based on changes between the first image and the second image.

The invention relates to a method for the digital acquisition of an intraoral structure by scanning the structure using an intraoral color scanner which, according to the invention, is designed to correct color values of the scanning points using a color reference template of a reference color space.

A method of updating the status of an insurance customer includes identifying a plurality of individuals with a first insurance status and delivering home testing kits to the plurality of individuals. Upon completion of the home testing kits, medical image information is received from a mobile communications device and processed to determine a state of a medical analysis region. Individuals with medical analysis regions in a differing state of criticality are identified. Healthcare providers may be provided with information indicating that there is a likelihood that the identified individuals are entitled to a second insurance status.

A sweat sensing device includes a flexible body having a first, outwardly facing surface and a second, skin facing surface and a sweat channel formed in the body, the sweat channel having a first end defining a fluid inlet and a second end. A biochemical assay well formed in the sweat channel and an assay material is disposed in the biochemical assay well, the assay material positioned to react with sweat traveling through the sweat channel and to provide one of a visual indicator and an indicator detectable by a camera and connected processor of the flow of the sweat in the sweat channel.

Systems and methods configured to provide indications of a subject's fitness based on values of a fitness metric for the subject are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain fitness information related to the subject; present, based on a change in the first value indicating a decline in the real-time state of health, a first notification of the first value via a watch wearable by the subject; present, based on the change in the first value indicating the decline in the real-time state of health, a second notification related to the subject via a second watch wearable by a second subject and/or a client computing platform associated with an administrator; and present, based on a change in the second value indicating a decline in the future state of health, a third notification via the watch, one or more other watches, and/or the client computing platform.
