According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include a first sensor configured to detect a movement, a second sensor configured to measure an oxygen saturation, a memory, and at least one processor operatively connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the memory, and the at least one processor is configured to identify whether a period in which a posture is maintained before a movement is detected is greater than or equal to a predetermined period based on a movement greater than or equal to a predetermined value being detected via the first sensor, to identify an oxygen saturation reference value stored in the memory based on the period in which the posture is maintained before the movement is detected being greater than or equal to the predetermined period, and to adjust, based on the oxygen saturation reference value, an oxygen saturation value obtained via the second sensor during the period in which the posture is maintained before the movement is detected.

Medical diagnostic images that are embedded with contact messages about a professional are sent to a patient for sharing with others. Although the images may be obtained using any of a variety of imaging devices, in some instances, the images may be obtained using a soft-tissue-injury diagnostic system for diagnosing soft tissue injury within a patient. A visual display is configured and arranged for receiving and displaying the medical diagnostic image. Personalized contact messages are then embedded within the image as a watermark to with information about the professional, such as an electronic business card, contact information, or hyperlinks to additional information. The sharable image with embedded messages is electronically sent to the patient for sharing with others. Personalized contact messages may also be embedded in non-medical images for sharing with others.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for recommending optimal ergonomic position for a user of a computing device by a recommendation system. The recommendation system receives user data from one or more data sources and extracts a profile of the user from a repository based on the user data. The recommendation system identifies one or more critical areas of the user, where each of the critical areas are associated with a plurality of pre-defined position parameters and also monitor the plurality of pre-defined position parameters of the user to determine corresponding values. The recommendation system compare the values of the plurality of pre-defined position parameters with predefined values of the pre-defined position parameters and identify deviations in one or more of the plurality of pre-defined position parameters based on the comparison and provide recommendations for correcting the deviations from the pre-defined position parameters to the user.

A computer implemented method for providing pain management using a wearable device determines a predictive model estimating an intensity level of pain as a function of at least one physiological parameter of a user of the wearable device and at least one activity of the user. The activity of the user includes one or combination of a type of the activity, a level of the activity, a location of the activity, and a duration of the activity. The method determines measurements of physiological and activity sensors of the wearable device to produce values of the physiological parameter and the activity of the user and predicts the intensity level of the pain based on the predictive model and the values of the physiological parameter and the activity of the user. The method executes actions based on the predicted intensity level of pain.

Devices, systems, tools and methods are disclosed during diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions. A cervical plumb line device is disclosed which can be used to produce a measurement of the sagittal vertical axis associated with a target part of a patient's cervical spinal anatomy from two or more radiographic images. Also disclosed is an apparatus for measuring the angulation of a patient's spinal anatomy relative to a cervical plumb line which uses a plurality of bolsters. A device that can be used to assist in implantation of an interbody device during spinal fusion device is also disclosed. Systems which produce geometric data describing optimized spinal fusion geometric at a spine level selected to receive spinal fusion.

Disclosed are systems and methods for rapid generation of simulations of a patient's spinal morphology that enable pre-operative viewing of a patient's condition and to assist surgeons in determining the best corrective procedure and with any of the selection, augmentation or manufacture of spinal devices based on the patient specific simulated condition. The simulation is generated by morphing a generic spine model with a three-dimensional curve representation of the patient's particular spinal morphology derived from existing images of the patient's condition.

A method of predicting and diagnosing a diseases using an electronic device may include tracking an emotional or physiological change through a galvanic skin response; tracking a vertebral level or a peripheral nerve through spinal column scanning using a sensor unit; and automatically verifying the vertebral level associated with an emotional or physiological phenomenon and identifying a pain area through a combination of the galvanic skin response and spinal column scanning, and may predict and diagnose the disease through the identified pain area.

Exemplary embodiments of wearable stretch sensors and applications of using the same are disclosed. In embodiments, the sensors and the applications disclosed herein can be used to capture spinal motion and posture information.

A furniture system includes an office productivity structure (OPS). The furniture system also includes a sensor coupled to the OPS, the sensor operable to detect occupancy of the OPS and generate an output signal indicative of the occupancy; and a processor coupled to the sensor. The processor is operable to receive the output signal generated by the sensor, determine, based on the output signal, that the OPS is occupied, and, in response to determining that the OPS is occupied, generate a command to initiate at least one action associated with the OPS or an operator of the OPS.

Apparatus is provided that includes left-nostril, right-nostril, and oral pressure sensors and oral pressure probes. A memory is configured to store left-nostril, right-nostril, and oral pressures sensed by the respective sensors, over a total period of at least 12 hours. A processor is configured to convert the left-nostril, right-nostril, and oral pressures stored in the memory to left-nostril, right-nostril, and oral pressure airflows, respectively, and calculate a series of orally-weighted laterality-indices over a respective series of sub-periods of the total period. Each of the orally-weighted laterality-indices of each of the sub-periods is indicative of a laterality index over the sub-period weighted by a normalized oral airflow over the sub-period, such that the greater the normalized oral airflow, the smaller the orally-weighted laterality-index. Each of the orally-weighted laterality-indices of each of the sub-periods reflects relative airflow through the left and the right nostrils over the sub-period. Other embodiments are also described.
