摘要:
An electronic device tracks both calorie loss and intake for a user. The device comprises a plurality of sensors to measure user's physical activities, and provides a user interface to allow user input of activities. The device tracks these activities and estimates the calorie burned based on predefined formulas. Also through the user interface, the device allows user to input information about food or drink consumption, and then estimates the corresponding calorie intake. User input of activities and food/drink consumption can be achieved by means of voice. The electronic device also runs a software app which can provide instructions for the user with regards to activities and/or food/drink consumption. In addition, the app allows user to enter weight, together with the tracked calorie intake and loss history data, to adaptively adjust the calorie calculation formulas and the associated parameters.

A method for automatic threshold control and detection of lead failure in an implanted medical device obtains three sensing vectors for measurement of an electrocardiogram signal. A dynamic error signal is determined from the vectors, and may be used to set a detection threshold for insufficient ECG signals, and/or to passively monitor the device for indications of lead failure without performing an impedance measurement. Passive mode operation conserves battery power and enables continuous lead integrity checks. A quality factor may also be determined from the error signal, to indicate whether or not signal measurements are valid with respect to noise levels. If the detection threshold is allowed to decay between successive features of the electrocardiogram, the decay rate may be made adaptive such that it automatically adjusts to changes in heart rate or to changes in amplitude of the electrocardiogram features.

A heart monitor for processing input signals that represent periodically reoccurring events in a sequence of heart cycles. According to the invention graphical data representing a scatter plot of at least two dimensions, one dimension representing interval duration or its inverse and the other dimension representing change of duration or its inverse, respectively, are generated. The scatter plot comprises data points of which each data point represents heart interval duration or its inverse plotted against the change of duration with respect to a neighboring interval or the inverse of said change respectively.

The stimulation control unit is further adapted to trigger said atrial stimulation pulse generator or said ventricular stimulation pulse generator at the scheduled point of time T(A) or T(V), respectively, if no atrial sense event signal is generated before time out of an atrial escape interval (VAI), said atrial escape interval timing out at T(A), or if no ventricular sense event signal is generated before time out of a ventricular escape interval (VEI), said ventricular escape interval timing out at T(V), respectively. T(A) und T(V) are determined depending upon detection of a ventricular extra systole while maintaining a proper atrioventricular synchrony by setting a physiologically adequate A-V-delay between T(A) and corresponding T(V).
