Abstract:
An example mobile system is disclosed. The system comprises an audio input device to continuously capture audio data associated with a user, a display unit, a processor, connected to the audio unit and the display unit, to detect stress data based on the audio data associated with the user over a period of time, measure a change in the stress data over the period of time, determine usage data on the mobile system by the user over the period of time, perform an analysis of the change in the stress data in view of the usage data, and propose an action to manage the change in the stress data based on the analysis.
Abstract:
A method for initiating a telemedicine conference on a mobile device is provided. The method comprises receiving diagnostic test results in response to a diagnostic test, determining if the diagnostic test results include a positive result, storing the diagnostic test results on a server disposed on a network, presenting, if the diagnostic test results are positive, a telemedicine initiation option on a screen of the mobile device, determining whether the telemedicine initiation option is selected, sending the diagnostic test results from the server to the telemedicine provider, sending additional medical history information to the telemedicine provider, and initiating a telemedicine conference with the telemedicine provider. Some of these aspects also provide healthcare providers the ability to electronically send prescriptions and provide users the ability to use a mobile application to send prescriptions to pharmacies to be filled.
Abstract:
A patient communication device for advanced patient communication and methods for making and using same. According to one embodiment, a patient communication device comprises a selection input mechanism for generating a message on a display, the message reflecting a request for an interpreter. The selection input mechanism includes one or more of a button, keyboard and a touch screen. Further, the patient communication device includes a transmitter for transmitting the message to a central processing server and a status indicator on the display, the status indicator representing a transmission status associated with the message.
Abstract:
A method of operating a smartphone for monitoring an animal, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring a position and orientation of the smartphone; determining that a detection event indicative of the animal lying down from a standing position has occurred corresponding to a change in position and/or a change in orientation satisfying a predetermined criteria; and in response, communicating, at least in part via a public mobile telecommunications communication network, to one or more receiver devices a message indicative of identification of a detection event, and corresponding device and system.
Abstract:
One embodiment relates to an apparatus, comprising logic, at least partially incorporated into hardware, to: receive first sensor data associated with a first sensor of a first smart device; determine a first reliability factor associated with the first sensor data; receive second sensor data associated with a second sensor of a second smart device; and determine a second reliability factor associated with the second sensor data. The logic is further to determine a sensor data reporting plan based upon the first reliability factor and the second reliability factor, the sensor data reporting plan indicating whether each of the first sensor and the second sensor are to subsequently send their respective sensor data to a primary communication device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device, system and method for determining a subject's breathing rate. For determining a subject's breathing rate without active interaction of the user, without the use of a dedicated device and with improved user comfort and ease of use, the device comprises a signal input (21) for obtaining one or more sensor signals representing orientation changes and/or motion of a sensor, which is configured to measure orientation changes and/or motion of the sensor and to generate said one or more sensor signals. Further, the device comprises a selector (41) for determining combination values of said one or more sensor signals and for selecting one or more of said sensor signals either having the most extreme combination values or that most likely coincide with the direction of a breathing motion, which direction is determined from said combination values, a converter (22) for converting the selected one or more sensor signals into the frequency domain to obtain one or more frequency-domain sensor signals, and a peak detector (24) for performing maximum peak detection in said one or more frequency-domain sensor signals within a predetermined frequency range and selecting the frequency corresponding to the detected maximum peak as breathing rate.
Abstract:
A portable device having an exhalation sensing function is provided. The portable device includes a gas detector that analyzes exhalation, and a device main body including a receiving portion in which the gas detector is received, the device main body having a call function, wherein, when a user makes a call using the device main body, the gas detector is automatically projected from the receiving portion of the device main body, and senses the user's exhalation.
Abstract:
Examples described herein include electronic devices which may serve as hemochromatic analyzers, leveraging sensors and computation available on the electronic devices themselves, such as smartphones and smartwatches. In this manner, minor to no hardware modification may be required to a mobile phone or other electronic device to allow the device to predict hemoglobin levels.
