The invention in at least one embodiment includes a system and method for detecting and evaluating an adaptive physiological strain index (aPSI) of an individual with a processor and in a further embodiment taking into account the fitness, age and clothing of the individual based upon physiology. The invention in at least one embodiment includes a system and method to calculate the aPSI using physiological measures. In at least one embodiment, the method obtains an individual's skin temperature and heart rate in order to calculate the individual's aPSI.

In an embodiment, a method (100) is described. The method comprises obtaining (102) a three-dimensional representation of a body surface. The method further comprises obtaining illumination information for the three-dimensional representation that is indicative of an orientation of the body surface relative to a reference axis. The method further comprises determining illumination compensation information (104). The illumination compensation information is used (106) to compensate for an illumination variation apparent from the illumination information in an image of the body surface.

A method of treating CTCL comprising applying a combination of an effective amount of hypericin together with a form of visible light photodynamic therapy. Preferably, the effective amount of hypericin is an ointment comprising less than 1% hypericin. More preferably, the form of photodynamic therapy comprises an administration of escalating doses of visible light. Optionally, the escalating doses of visible light starts at about 5 J/cm.sup.2 and increases to a maximum dose of about 12 J/cm.sup.2.

Nano-node sunscreen described herein enables significantly improved health monitoring and treatment of sun-related issues by utilizing internal (in-body) mechanisms and information and external mechanisms and information.

A customer-customized big data analysis system using cosmetic information and biometric information according to the present invention, the big data analysis system comprises: a skin care device used by each customer, generating a microcurrent to increase penetration of cosmetics, and detecting biometric information related to skin; a customer terminal connected to the skin care device through short-distance communication, input member information through an application, and displaying the biometric information; and a big data server including a member biometric information DB unit connected to customer terminals through long-distance communication, and receiving and storing member information and biometric information from the customer terminals, and a cosmetics DB unit storing information of cosmetics and additives, wherein the application recommends cosmetics by analyzing big data with its own algorithm.

A skin measuring microscope includes a housing, an electronic imager disposed along an imaging axis, and an illumination system. The illumination system includes a plurality of LEDs disposed in a ring-like configuration adjacent a distal end of the housing.

A method for identifying a skin abnormality including using an imaging device, the imaging device including a lighting member for directing light toward a target surface, the lighting member including a plurality of lighting elements, and a filter member positioned between the lighting member and the target surface, the filter member including a plurality of filter elements, capturing a plurality of images of the target surface, each of the plurality of images captured when illuminating a different one or more of the plurality of lighting elements, compiling the plurality of images into a data package, transmitting the data package to a server for processing the data package, and determining, at the server, a presence of an abnormality.

The present invention relates to a system and method of skin detection of a human subject using a textile product. The textile product (10, 31, 43) is made from or comprising textile including near-infrared, NIR, absorbing pigments. It supports and/or partially covers the human subject while skin detection and/or detection/monitoring vital signs of the human subject is carried out. A increased contrast between the textile product and skin in the NIR wavelength range is thus achieved.

A biological information detection device includes: a video capture unit, a blood flow analysis unit, a local pulse wave detection unit, a pulse wave propagation velocity calculation unit, and a blood pressure estimation unit. The video capture unit obtains video information on a face of a living body. The blood flow analysis unit analyzes video data of at least three skin areas in the video information, as blood flow information. The local pulse wave detection unit is provided for each skin area to calculate pulse information based on the blood flow information sequenced chronologically. The pulse wave propagation velocity calculation unit calculates a pulse wave propagation velocity based on a phase difference between pieces of the pulse information at each skin area calculated by the local pulse wave detection unit. The blood pressure estimation unit estimates blood pressure based on the pulse wave propagation velocity.
