Abstract:
The present disclose describes both apparatus and methods for the continuous measurement of NO and other gases that are contained in blood through transcutaneous sampling means.
Abstract:
The invention relates to imaging technologies, in particular to remote imaging of tissue chromophore and/or fluorophore distribution by means of a smartphone or a similar mobile device. Goal of the invention is to ensure easy use of smartphones (or similar mobile devices, originally comprising at least one camera, display, processing unit and battery) with appropriate software for remote mapping of tissue compounds. Invention proposes tissue chromophore and/or fluorophore mapping and/or indication of clinically critical values of their content on the display of smartphone by converting images of the same tissue area taken by smartphone camera under spectrally specific illumination and using the internal computing resources of smartphone for image processing. Five supporting device designs are proposed along with two methods used for image processing.
Abstract:
Aspects relate to a portable device that may be used to identify a critical intensity and an anaerobic work capacity of an individual. The device may utilize muscle oxygen sensor data, speed data, or power data. The device may utilize data from multiple exercise sessions, or may utilize data from a single exercise session. The device may additionally estimate a critical intensity from a previous race time input from a user.
Abstract:
Described are apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, software), and methods for monitoring the cardiac health of a patient which incorporates secondary information. The apparatus may be a heart rate monitor, a blood pressure monitor, an ECG or other biometric device in communication with an electronic device having communication ability. The devices detect a cardiac or other biometric measurement and correlate the detected information with secondary information, such as GPS data, to produce a contexualized measurement.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a computerized eyewear retrofit kit comprises a replacement temple configured to replace a temple of a pair of eyewear. The replacement temple comprises an elongated body having a first end configured to attach the replacement temple to the eyewear, at least one of a first group of one or more sensors coupled to the elongated body or a second group of one or more sensors configured to couple to a frame of the standard pair of eyewear. The at least one of the first or second group of sensors are for sensing at least one of a physiological characteristic of the wearer or an environmental characteristic associated with the wearer. The eyewear retrofit kit also comprises at least one processor and a power source that are operatively coupled to at least one of the first group or the second group of the one or more sensors.
Abstract:
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a system A system, including a light source, a detector, and a controller in electrical communication with the light source and the detector. The controller is configured to execute a program stored in the controller to trigger the light source to emit a first pulse of light having a first pulse duration for illumination of a target, actuate the detector after a first delay time following emission of the first pulse of light to begin detecting a first signal from the target for a first detection time, and repeat the steps of triggering the light source and actuating the detector at least once, varying for each repetition at least one of the first pulse duration, the first delay time, and the first detection time.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für die Ermittlung der Status der Haut einer Person und ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie als auf die Haut (9) aufbringbares und dort flächig bindbares Flächenstück ein selbstklebendes Folien-, insbesondere Hautpflaster-Flächenstück (1) aus einer hauttopographieanpassenden, nicht leitfähigen Folie aufweist, welches eine dieselbe quer durchsetzende fensterartige Ausnehmung (2) insbesondere für ein direktes Aufbringen einer Kosmetik- oder Medizin-Zubereitung (91) von außen (as) auf die Haut (9) aufweist, wobei als Sensor an dem Folien-, insbesondere Hautpflaster-Flächenstück hautseitig (hs) und auf die Haut auflegbar, zumindest zwei Kontakt-Elektroden (3;3') angeordnet sind, dass die Elektroden weiters über eine mittels NFC-Technik mit Strom versorgbare, Spannungsliefereinheit (4) mit einer Impedanz- und Widerstands- und/oder Kapazitätsmesseinheit (5) verbunden sind, von welcher aus eine, vorzugsweise passive, Kommunikationseinheit (6) mit von ihr ausgehender Antennenschleife (7) mit den Messdaten versorgbar ist, welche mittels NFC-fähigem, eine entsprechende "App" aufweisenden externen, Kommunikationsgerät, wie Handy, Reader oder Smartphone als Hautwiderstands- und/oder -kapazitätsdaten abrufbar sind.
