Abstract:
A sauna monitoring method and system, in which an interfacing unit receives measurement information from a plurality of sensors and outputs the measurement information over a digital bus. An access unit receives the measurement information from the digital bus sends the measurement information to one or more recipients in the Internet.
Abstract:
A wearable neck device includes an IMU coupled to the wearable neck device and adapted to detect inertial measurement data and a GPS coupled to the device and adapted to detect location data. The wearable neck device further includes a camera adapted to detect image data and a memory adapted to store data. The wearable neck device further includes a processor adapted to recognize an object in the surrounding environment by analyzing the data. The processor can determine a desirable action based on the data and a current time or day. The processor can determine a destination based on the determined desirable action. The processor can determine a navigation path based on the determined destination and the data. The processor is further adapted to determine output based on the navigation path. The wearable neck device further includes a speaker adapted to provide audio information to the user.
Abstract:
A method for providing directions to a blind user of a smart device is described. The method includes detecting, by at least two sensors and in response to a selection of a find mode of the smart device, image data corresponding to a surrounding environment of the smart device and positioning data corresponding to a positioning of the smart device. The method also includes receiving, by an input device, the desired object or the desired location. The method also includes determining, by a processor, the initial location of the smart device based on the image data, the positioning data and map data stored in a memory of the smart device. The method also includes providing, by the output device, the directions to the desired object based on the initial location of the smart device and the map data.
Abstract:
A wearable smart device for providing hazard warning information to a user. The wearable smart device includes a microphone configured to detect audio data associated with a potential hazard. The wearable smart device also includes a camera configured to detect image data associated with the potential hazard. The wearable smart device also includes a processor coupled to the microphone and the camera and configured to determine whether the potential hazard presents a real hazard based on the detected audio data and the detected image data.

Abstract:
A medical monitoring system includes an oximetry sensor having a light emitter positioned to emit light into a patient and a photodetector positioned to generate a plethysmography signal. The system includes a monitor having a processor configured to receive the plethysmography signal from the oximetry sensor and to identify a non-cardiac pulse based on a first pulse shape metric, the non-cardiac pulse being generated by the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the patient. The processor is also configured to measure an oxygen saturation of the patient from the identified non-cardiac pulse and to output the measured oxygen saturation to a visual display.
Abstract:
A pneumatic circulatory enhancer to enhance a blood flow of a leg of a patient that includes a chamber that surrounds the leg and is filled with gas having a negative, a zero-point, or a pressure, a pneumatic gas pump having a cylinder and a piston, the piston moving in the cylinder by an electrical motor, a plurality of ECG electrodes that are connected to body parts of the patient, a pressure sensor that is connected to the chamber and measures a pressure of the gas inside the chamber, a controller that receives the ECG signals from the plurality of ECG electrodes and controls the electrical motor based on the received ECG signals to pump-in or pump-out the gas from the chamber by moving the piston inside the chamber such that the zero-point pressure is an atmospheric pressure of a location that the pneumatic circulatory enhancer is operated.
Abstract:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation being provided to a subject is monitored. An enhanced measurement of the effectiveness of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation received by the subject is determined by correlating chest compressions with changes in movement and/or composition of gas at or near the airway of the subject. For example, one or more therapy parameters may be measured with an enhanced accuracy and/or precision, and/or one or more therapy parameters not monitored in conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation monitoring systems may be measured.
Abstract:
A resuscitation device for automatic compression of victim's chest using a compression belt which exerts force evenly over the entire thoracic cavity. The belt is constricted and relaxed through a motorized spool assembly which repeatedly tightens the belt and relaxes the belt to provide repeated and rapid chest compression. An assembly includes various resuscitation devices including chest compression devices, defibrillation devices, and airway management devices, along with communications devices and senses with initiate communications with emergency medical personnel automatically upon use of the device.
