Abstract:
An approach is proposed for managing human operators (22), the approach comprising managing power delivery to sensor components (24) carried by the human operators based on a need for the human operators for performing a task. The human operators (e.g. clinical staff in a hospital) carry sensors for monitoring location and physiological parameters of the staff. An operation mode of the sensors (24) is altered (e.g. the sensors (24) are activated) based on resource request signals received indicative of need for a particular kind of human assistance. Out of the human operators (22) capable of providing the needed kind of human assistance, one or more human operators are selected based on received sensor data from the sensor sets (24) relating to the location and the physiological parameters.

Abstract:
There is proposed a system for route selection in navigation systems which can take into account the stress associated with driving a particular route. There is a route selection assistor for a vehicle controlled by a driver which comprises a first input configured to receive a geographical location, a data store configured to store and retrieve a route segment rating, the route segment rating being configured to be derivable at least partially from physiological information associated with route segment data for a route segment corresponding to the geographical location, and a route selector configured to select a route based on the geographical location and the route segment rating.
Abstract:
A device for providing assistance to a person comprises a data input for obtaining person related data representing data obtained by monitoring the person, a data processing unit for processing the obtained person related data to determine the person's mental state and/or cognitive level from the obtained person related data, to detect if the person has limited or no ability to perform a desired task and to generate assistance data in case of detection that the person has limited or no ability to perform the desired task and/or if the person's current mental state and/or cognitive level is below a threshold or out of a distribution or value range required to perform the desired task, said assistance data representing data directed to supporting the person in performing the desired task by adapting the number of functions of an appliance accessible and controllable by the person according to the person's current mental state and/or cognitive level, and a data output for providing said assistance data for supporting the person in performing the desired task.
Abstract:
A wearable device is provided. The wearable device comprises at least one feedback module;one or more sensors; and a processor adapted to initialize the feedback module; control the at least one feedback module to provide support information with respect to a first activity that a wearer of the wearable device intends to perform; wherein the support information with respect to the first activity is determined based on an identified second activity that the wearer is performed, wherein the second activity has performed by the wearer prior to the first activity.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus having a processor configured to receive an indication that a plurality of devices is located within a defined proximity to the apparatus, determine which of those devices belong to a predetermined group, receive physiological or behavioral data associated with each device of the predetermined group, and provide information to all or a combination of the group of devices and a second device based on a total value corresponding to the received physiological or behavioral data satisfying a predetermined condition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stress-measuring system for determining a level of stress of a user, in particular for monitoring an upcoming burnout, the system (10) comprising: an alarm clock (12) for initiating an alarm at an arbitrary preset time, wherein the system(10) comprises an interface (14) for switching off the alarm; a vital sign sensor (16) for measuring a first vital sign of the user while the user operates the interface (14); and a processing unit (18) for determining the level of stress of the user based on the sensed first vital sign.
Abstract:
:Systems and methods are proposed for modelling pain experienced by a subject as a result of movement of the subject. Such proposals are based on supplementing the use of a JSM with a tribology simulation model. Results/outputs obtained from the JSM and tribology simulation model may be provided as input to a biophysical model for the subject to obtain a stress or strain value for the subject.
Abstract:
A patient monitoring system comprising a memory (104) comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions (106) and a processor (102) configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain patient data about a patient being monitored by the patient monitoring system, obtain previous patient data, determine a difference between the patient data and the previous patient data; and send a message to a user display associated with the patient monitoring system, to cause the user display to adapt content displayed on the user display, based on the determined difference.
