Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a blood glucose monitoring device and a monitoring method thereof, which can reduce the influence of the oral environment on the measurement accuracy. The blood glucose monitoring device comprises: a housing; a micro-current stimulation module connected to two electrodes and generating a current, the two electrodes being located on a surface of the housing and the current stimulating the parotid gland of a user through the two electrodes to produce fresh saliva; a saliva glucose acquisition module configured to acquire a glucose concentration in the saliva; a control processing module configured to control the micro-current stimulation module to work and to obtain a blood glucose concentration value from the glucose concentration.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a tooth-attach wearable device. The tooth-attach wearable device includes a body configured to attach to a tooth; a sensor device provided to the body, and configured to sense biometric information of a patient; and a communication controller provided to the body, and configured to store the biometric information sensed at the sensor device as data, and to transmit the stored data.
Abstract:
A food taste simulation method, applied in a food taste simulation system, comprising: determining food information of target food according to a food simulation trigger signal when receiving the food simulation trigger signal; determining airflow for simulating the taste of the target food according to the food information; and releasing the airflow through an airflow chip disposed in the oral cavity according to the airflow. The safety of food simulation is improved and the effect of food simulation is enriched in this method. A food taste simulation system is also provided.
Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus for determining a physiological condition within a mammal based on pH and/or temperature measurements. The invention is for determining vaginal health and/or fertility status in a female mammal based on pH and/or temperature measurements of vaginal and/or cervical fluids or tissue. The invention is suited for taking either in vivo or external measurements. In one aspect, the invention is an apparatus comprising an elongated probe portion and a handle portion. In one embodiment, the circuitry of the apparatus is strategically split between the probe portion and the handle portion to facilitate a plug-and-play type of device. In another embodiment, an elongated probe is provided that has a hermetically sealed internal cavity that houses the circuitry while leaving the temperature sensor and the pH sensor exposed for direct contact with the desired biological fluid. In a further embodiment, an ISFET is used as the pH sensor.

Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus for determining a physiological condition within a mammal based on pH and/or temperature measurements. In one aspect, the invention is directed to a system for measuring a physiological condition within a mammal comprising: an apparatus comprising an elongated housing extending along a longitudinal axis; a pH sensor for measuring pH within a body lumen of the mammal, the pH sensor located at a distal portion of the elongated housing; and a removable cap for enclosing the distal portion of the elongate housing, the cap comprising a base having a first channel in a top surface of the base; a lid having a second channel in a bottom surface of the lid; and wherein the lid is pivotably mounted to the base so as to be pivotable between: (i) an open position wherein the distal portion of the elongated housing can be laid into the first channel by movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and (ii) a closed position wherein the first and second channels form a heretically sealed cavity about the distal portion of the elongated housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to attachable body fluid collection devices, each comprising at least one storage structure for, when in use, storing a body fluid sample secreted by a body fluid secreting surface. The or at least one of the storage structure comprises silicon. Particular emphasis is placed on sweat patches and techniques for analyzing sweat.
Abstract:
A moisture measuring device includes a biosensor, a processing unit, a substrate, a housing, and one or more attaching members. The biosensor has a sensor surface for acquisition of biological information. The processing unit is configured to process the biological information acquired by the biosensor. The substrate has a first principal surface on which the processing unit is mounted. The housing accommodates the biosensor, the processing unit, and the substrate. The one or more attaching members are disposed on the first principal surface side of the substrate to attach the substrate to the housing. The total area of one or more overlap regions in which the one or more attaching members overlap the substrate in the first principal surface of the substrate when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first principal surface of the substrate is smaller than a sensor area of the sensor surface of the biosensor.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for predicting a disease state of a subject using ultrasound imaging and ancillary information to the ultrasound imaging. At least two quantitative measurements of a subject, including at least one measurement taken using ultrasound imaging, as part of quantified information can be identified. One of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a first predetermined standard, included as part of ancillary information to the quantified information, in order to identify a first initial value. Further, another of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a second predetermined standard, included as part of the ancillary information, in order to identify a second initial value. Subsequently, the quantitative information can be correlated with the ancillary information using the first initial value and the second initial value to determine a final value that is predictive of a disease state of the subject.
