    摘要: Heart rate monitor system and method of determining a warming-up status of a user A heart rate monitor system is provided which comprises an optical heart rate sensor (100) configured to measure or determine a heart rate of a user and to output an output signal (101). The heart rate monitor system furthermore comprises an analyzing unit (200) configured to analyze an output signal (101) from the heart rate sensor (100) and to determine a warming up status of a user based on the analyzed output signal (101) from the optical heart rate sensor (100), wherein the analyzing unit (200) comprises a signal analyzer (210) configured to analyze at least one of an AC component of the output signal (101), a DC component of the output signal (101), and a pulse morphology of the output signal (101) and a warm-up detector unit (220) configured to detect a warm-up status of the user based on a detected blood perfusion according to signal characteristics of the AC component, the DC component or the pulse morphology of the output signal (101).

    摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method of estimating blood pressure of a subject. The method comprises (i) processing (101) a first blood volume signal to identify a plurality of blood volume signal segments each corresponding to a respective cardiac cycle of the subject, wherein the first blood volume signal comprises measurements of blood volume or changes in blood volume in a body part of the subject in a first time period; (ii) processing (103) a first respiration signal to identify a plurality of respiration cycles of the subject in the first time period, wherein the first respiration signal represents respiratory activity of the subject during the first time period, and wherein each respiration cycle comprises a plurality of respiration cycle phases; (iii) selecting (105) a subset of the plurality of blood volume signal segments, wherein the blood volume signal segments selected for the subset are blood volume signal segments corresponding in time to a same respiration cycle phase in the plurality of respiration cycles; and (iv) estimating (107) blood pressure of the subject based on morphology features of the blood volume signal segments in the subset.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system, method and corresponding computer program for milk ejection reflex (MER) determination, the system comprising a breast shield arrangement (1) for a breast pump (2) configured to be attached on a first breast of a female, a physiological sensor unit (4) for receiving a physiological reception signal from the second breast, which is opposite to the first breast, wherein the physiological reception signal is indicative of fluid contents in the second breast, and wherein the system is configured to determine a milk ejection reflex based on a change in fluid contents in the second breast. It finds particular application during and in connection with breastfeeding and allows for direct detection of the beginning of the milk flow in the breast, i.e. the occurrence of the MER, without delay and with a high degree of precision.

    摘要: A core body temperature sensor (10) includes a thermoresistant structure (12) having a proximal surface (11) configured for attachment to skin of an associated patient, and a distal end (13) opposite from the proximal surface. A plurality of temperature sensors (14) is arranged to measure temperatures of the thermoresistant structure at a corresponding plurality of different distances from the proximal surface of the thermoresistant structure. A temperature-changing element (16) is configured to change a temperature of the distal end of the thermoresistant structure. An electronic processor (20) is programmed to acquire temperature measurements from the plurality of temperature sensors while operating the temperature-changing element to maintain a temperature of the distal end of the thermoresistant structure at a temperature different from an ambient temperature, and extrapolate a core body temperature of the associated patient from the acquired temperature measurements.

    摘要: A wearable device may take a set of health inputs from embedded body sensors for the duration of an activity performed by a user of the wearable device. Based on these inputs, the wearable device can calculate a health parameter (e.g., calories burned during the activity). The wearable device can also track its location during the activity, and provide this location to a geolocation data network. The geolocation data network may provide geolocation data (e.g., weather/environmental/terrain data) pertaining to the wearable device's location. The wearable device can then modify its measurements and/or calculated health parameters based on the geolocation data (e.g. Increasing calories burned during a run due to high heat and uphill terrain in the location of the run).
