Systems and methods can be used to provide an indication of heart function, such as an indication of mechanical function or hemodynamics of the heart, based on electrical data. For example, a method for assessing a function of the heart can include determining a time-based electrical characteristic for a plurality of points distributed across a spatial region of the heart. The plurality of points can be grouped into at least two subsets of points based on at least one of a spatial location for the plurality of points or the time-based electrical characteristics for the plurality of points. An indication of synchrony for the heart can be quantified based on relative analysis of the determined time-based electrical characteristic for each of the at least two subsets of points.

A pressure sensing device including an elongate housing configured to be at least partially inserted into a user, and that defines an external surface having a proximal end and a distal end defining a longitudinal axis therebetween. The device includes a first pressure sensor, configured to sense pressure applied to a first portion of the external surface and to convert the sensed pressure to first pressure data, and a second pressure sensor, configured to sense pressure applied to a second portion of the external surface and to convert the sensed pressure to second pressure data. Sensor is spaced, along the longitudinal axis, toward the distal end from sensor.

A myocardial infarction detection method and apparatus is described that includes a stiffness measurement step of measuring myocardial stiffness of a cardiac muscle of a subject, and a determination step of determining, based on the myocardial stiffness, whether or not infarction is present in the cardiac muscle.

An electronic device comprises a sensor, a notifier and a controller. The sensor is urged to a test part side of an examinee and can detect pulsation at the test part. The notifier notifies information for a position of the sensor at the test part. The controller controls the notifier to notify information for a position of the sensor at the test part based on pulsation at the test part detected by the sensor.

Disclosed is a wearable device including a sensor array having a plurality of sensors each configured to detect a physical change in epidermis of a corresponding body area; and a body motion determination unit configured to determine movement of a body part based on sensing signals from the plurality of sensors, and determine whether the determined movement corresponds to one of at least one next motion which is able to be derived from a current motion state.

A system for physiological motion measurement is provided. The system may acquire a reference image corresponding to a reference motion phase of an ROI and a target image of the ROI corresponding to a target motion phase, wherein the reference motion phase may be different from the target motion phase. The system may identify one or more feature points relating to the ROI from the reference image, and determine a motion field of the feature points from the reference motion phase to the target motion phase using a motion prediction model. An input of the motion prediction model may include at least the reference image and the target image. The system may further determine a physiological condition of the ROI based on the motion field.

The method can include a muscle deforming a fiber path and activating a joint of the mammal, circulating electricity along the fiber, along the length of the fiber path, generating a movement signal including monitoring a change of impedance of the fiber stemming from the deformation of the muscle path during said deformation of the fiber path, determining a coefficient of correlation value of successive portions of the movement signal associated to corresponding, successive, time windows, including ascertaining a degree of similitude between the corresponding portion and a corresponding movement template, and generating an indication of muscle fatigue based on said coefficient of correlation values.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for increasing performance, improving sleep and improving relaxation that involve specifically coordinating nerve stimulation of a cranial nerve (e.g. vagus nerve) in conjunction with augmented reality (AR). According to certain embodiments disclosed are systems that include an AR component that presents information or a stimulus and provides cranial nerve fiber stimulation (CNFS) at strategic times to reduce anxiety/arousal/related during user activity or scenarios and reinforce learning.
