    摘要: Detecting a respiratory tract infection (RTI) based on changes in coughing sounds, which can provide an early warning of infection with a disease like COVID-19, as well as indications of its progression and severity. In one embodiment, the system includes smartglasses, with sensors mounted thereto, which include an acoustic sensor mounted at a fixed position relative to a user's head, and a movement sensor. A computer receives current measurements of the user, taken with the sensors, while there were head movements that characterize coughing, and also earlier measurements of the user, taken with the sensors, while the user had a known extent of the RTI and while there were head movements that characterize coughing. The computer detects a change relative to the known extent of the RTI based on a difference between the current measurements and the earlier measurements.

    摘要: Described herein are embodiments of systems and a method to identify orthostatic hypotension and postural-orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. One system includes a head-mounted device configured to measure photoplethysmographic signal (PPG signal) at a region on a user's head, and a head-mounted camera configured to capture images indicative of the user's posture. Additionally, the system includes a computer that calculates systolic and diastolic blood pressure values based on the PPG signal, and identifies orthostatic hypotension based on a drop of systolic blood pressure below a first threshold, and/or a drop of diastolic blood pressure below a second threshold, within a predetermined duration from a transition in the posture from supine to sitting posture, or from sitting to standing posture.

    摘要: A hygienic in-vehicle head-mounted display (HMD) includes: a head piece, a stiff module, and a lock that connects and disconnects the head piece and the stiff module. The head piece is in direct physical contact with the passenger's face. The stiff module includes a display module that projects video into eyes of a passenger of a vehicle while the HMD is worn by the passenger. In one embodiment, a storage module may be used to stow the stiff module. Optionally, the storage module releases the stiff module responsive to the head piece being connected to the stiff module. In another embodiment, a processor instructs the display module to project video responsive to an indication that the head piece and the stiff module are connected, and instructs the display module not to project the video, responsive to an indication that the head piece and the stiff module are not connected.

    摘要: This disclosure describes various systems for collecting thermal measurements of regions of a user's face. Each of the systems includes a frame configured to be worn on the user's head, and one or more lightweight thermal cameras that are coupled to the frame and configured to take thermal measurements of a region of interest on the user's face. Due to their coupling to the frame, the thermal cameras remain pointed at their respective regions of interest even when the user's head performs angular movements. The thermal measurements collected by some embodiments of the systems described herein may be utilized for a variety of applications that involve detecting different types of physiological responses or medical disorders.
