Abstract:
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a keycap. The keycap can include a protective layer and an active element, where the height of protective layer and the active element is less than six (6) millimeters in height. The keycap can also include a front plane layer, a back plane layer, where the front plane layer and the back plane layer comprise the active element, and an electrical connection through the keycap to provide electrical communication with the active element.
Abstract:
A user's portable / wearable smart device carries a set of sensors and a set of image capture devices, and is configured for (a) acquiring and processing particular sensed signals generated using the set of sensors, including one or more types of user physiologic / physiologic state signals; (b) capturing one or more images of the user's environment along one or more smart device spatial axes; and (c) communicating sensed signals and captured image data to a set of remote servers configured for (i) analyzing the sensed signals and captured image data to determine the user's physical state(s), behavior(s), and/or environment(s) or orientation(s) therein, such as whether the user has fallen; and (ii) selectively issuing alerts directed to specific / target individuals and/or organizations based upon such analysis.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A cardiopulmonary resuscitation coordination method is disclosed. The method comprises: identifying a plurality of portable computing devices located within an area around a coordinator, each being associated with a respective user and comprising a communication interface and a sensor component; processing user-attribute information relating to said users; processing device-attribute information relating to the identified devices; for each sensor functionality of a plurality of sensor functionalities, the coordinator assigning a respective sensor functionality to the sensor component of at least one of the identified devices in response to the processed device-attribute information and user-attribute information; the coordinator assigning a cardiopulmonary resuscitation role to at least one of the users in response to the processed device-attribute information and user-attribute information; communicating data acquired by at least one of the sensor components assigned with a sensor functionality to the coordinator; and communicating specific cardiopulmonary resuscitation coordination guidance in response to the at least one assigned cardiopulmonary resuscitation role and the acquired data.
Abstract:
According to an aspect of some embodiments of the present invention there is provided a method of dynamically adapting a facial treatment based on a current facial skin profile, comprising: using at least one sensor for measuring at least one current value of at least one variable skin characteristic of facial skin of a patient; acquiring at least one personal skin characteristic of facial skin of the patient; calculating a current facial skin status of the patient according to the at least one personal skin characteristic and the at least one current value; determining instructions to operate a treatment applicator according to the current facial skin status; and instructing the treatment applicator according to the instructions.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to optimizing an individual's heart-rate cycle using a biofeedback virtual reality system so as to facilitate coherence and resonance, by which a subject's emotional state, stress levels and performance may be concurrently improved. In an embodiment, a biofeedback virtual reality system and method as disclosed herein accesses an individual's current coherence state and based upon that analysis, provides a virtual environment related to the individual's current coherence state and allows the individual to progress to alternative virtual environments that represent "better" or more coherent states. A biofeedback virtual reality system can include a heart monitor and an RR interval monitor that provide information related to the individual's HRV. A biofeedback virtual reality system can be conveniently portable and therefore used at most any location so as to afford the individual the ability to decrease their stress level and/or improve their state of mind as desired.
Abstract:
Techniques facilitating locating an implantable medical device (IMD) within a body of a patient are provided. An estimate of the location is determined based on strength information representative of strengths of communicative couplings between a communications head device and the IMD at various positions of the communications head device. The strength information can be updated periodically or based on specific events, such as changes to the body and/or an amount of time elapsed since strength information was previously obtained. Media representative of the estimate of the location and an image of the body can be output and can facilitate a patient or caregiver locating the IMD. In some embodiments, the media and image output can guide future placement of the communications head device on the patient to efficiently establish communication. Further, in some embodiments, numerous IMDs implanted within a single body can be identified and communication can commence.
Abstract:
A method and a mobile app are disclosed for obtaining hemoglobin count in the blood of a mammal using digital images of the conjunctiva of the eye of the mammal taken with a camera of a mobile device running the mobile app. The mobile app carries out a method including: obtaining a color image of the conjunctiva of the eye using the digital camera; computing an R/B ratio and a Y/l ratio of the color image; normalizing the R/B ratio and the Y/l ratio using color image normalization parameters obtained using a master camera so as to provide a R/B true ratio and a Y/l true ratio; and using the R/B true ratio and the Y/l true ratio as inputs to respective look-up tables created using the master camera so as to provide an accurate measure of blood hemoglobin count.
Abstract:
Technology for detecting whether a wearable device is misaligned is disclosed. The device can include a number of sensors, such as heart rate, temperature, or other sensors used to sense a physiologic aspect of the user, such as heart rate and can further contain components capable of providing data as to the proper alignment or placement of the wearable device on the user. The wearable device may communicate with a computing device, such as a mobile device which can receive data from the wearable device and output notifications to the user, including notifications about proper or improper placement or alignment of the wearable device.
