A massage chair and a method of operating a massage chair, in which operations are controlled by executing artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and/or machine learning algorithms in a 5G environment connected for Internet-of-Things. The method of operating a massage chair includes obtaining, from a user terminal, first information corresponding to geographic information generated by the user terminal, obtaining, from the user terminal, second information corresponding to motion information generated by the user terminal, obtaining, from the user terminal, third information corresponding to usage information of the user terminal, generating fourth information as additional information using one or more among the first information, the second information, and the third information, and determining an optimal driving mode with respect to a user of user terminal by using the first information to the fourth information.

A system is provided for resuscitative therapy to a patient by delivering active chest compression decompressions. The system may include an ACD device configured to be coupled to the patient's chest and constructed for a rescuer to press and pull on the ACD device to administer active compression decompression therapy. Additionally, the ACD device may include at least one sensor for sensing at least one active compression decompression parameter, processing circuitry configured to process the at least one active compression decompression parameter and provide an output based on the at least one parameter, a first communication circuit configured to transfer data related to the processed output of the at least one parameter, and a second communication circuit capable of being removably coupled to either the electrode assembly or the ACD device.

An external defibrillator system includes one or more compression sensors; one or more physiological sensors; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: receive and process chest compression signals and physiological signals from the sensors, determine values for chest compression depth and/or chest compression rate based on the received chest compression signals, determine a trend of at least one physiological parameter over a period comprising multiple chest compressions based on the received physiological signals, adjust a target chest compression depth and/or target chest compression rate based on the determined trend of the at least one physiological parameter, compare the determined values for chest compression depth and/or chest compression rate to the adjusted target compression depth and/or the adjusted target compression rate, and provide feedback about the quality of chest compressions performed on the patient.

A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network address by a controller. The controller can transmit a device discovery request on a network and can receive a discovery response from pool or spa devices that require a network address. The system determines and assigns the network addresses for the pool or spa devices based on unique device identifiers associated with the responding pool or spa devices. The network addresses assigned to the pool or spa device are transmitted to the pool or spa device to be used by the pool or spa devices to communicate with the controller over the network. The system can be used to discover and assign addresses to various types of pool or spa devices, such as pumps, underwater lights, chlorinators, water feature controllers, remote controllers, and/or other types of devices.

A chest compression device includes a piston to apply compression to the sternum and incorporates leaf springs simultaneously driven by the piston to apply lateral compression to the thorax during chest compressions. A motor in the chest compression device provides motive power to cyclically extend and contract the piston to provide therapeutic chest compressions. One end of each leaf spring is operably connected to the piston and the other end of each leaf spring is secured to the backboard/base or to a support leg of the chest compression device such that during extension of the piston, each leaf spring is compressed against the device base or leg which causes the springs to flex and provide lateral compression of the patient's thorax in addition to the sternal compression of the piston.

A robotic assistant includes a base; an elevation mechanism positioned on the base; a display rotatably mounted on the elevation mechanism; a camera positioned on the display; and a control system that receives command instructions. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to detect movement of a face of the user in a vertical direction based on the images captured by the camera. In response to detection of the movement of the face of the user in the vertical direction, the control system is to rotate the display and actuate the elevation mechanism to the move the display up and down to allow the camera to face the face of the user during the movement of the face of the user in the vertical direction.

A walking support system includes: an information output device (260); a motion detector (220) which detects a motion of a user; a foot landing position detector (230) which detect a foot landing position of the user; a determiner (240) which determines a recommended foot landing position which is a landing position of the feet suitable for stabilizing motions of a gait of the user on the basis of motions of a gait of the user detected by the motion detector, the foot landing position detected by the foot landing position detector, and dynamics; and an output controller (250) which outputs information indicating the recommended foot landing position determined by the determiner to the information output device.

A telemedical interface pressure monitoring system is provided for intermittent or continuous monitoring of the pressure that occurs at the interface between the body and a support surface such as with a compression device, cast or resting surface. The system simultaneously measures interface pressure at multiple compression positions as well as provide real-time measurement data to both patients and clinicians. The system uses an array of one or more sensors and a data collection and transmission node with a microprocessor and transmitter/receiver that transmits the sensor data to a receiver such as a mobile device or cloud or clinic server for remote display, evaluation and automatic recording. Remote receivers can also control compression devices associated with the node.
