Presented is a system and method for assessing the functional ability of a person to perform a task. The system comprises: a task identification unit adapted to identify the task to be performed by the person; and a task complexity unit adapted to obtain a task-specific complexity signal representative of a required level of functional ability to perform the identified task. A functional ability unit is adapted to obtain a functional ability signal representative of a determined functional ability of the person. An assessment unit is adapted to determine an ability of the person to perform the identified task based on the task-specific complexity signal and the functional ability signal.

Assessing the functional ability of a person to perform a task

The present invention relates to device, system and method for determining a priority level and/or conversation duration of a call. An improved and adaptive device comprises a signal input () for obtaining an image data signal () of a user initiating a call, a physiological data extraction unit () for extracting physiological data () of the user from the obtained image data signal (), a health condition determination unit () for determining the health condition () of the user based on the extracted physiological data, and a prioritization unit () for determining the priority level and/or conversation duration () of the call based on the determined health condition of the user.

Devices, system and methods for determining a priority level and/or conversation duration of a call

A lanyard device () having a flexible neck cord () and at least one strain sensor () arranged for sensing strain in the flexible neck cord; and a personal lanyard monitoring system including the lanyard device (). A position recognition unit () is configured for comparing strain data obtained from the at least one strain sensor () to predetermined strain data, and recognizing a position of the flexible neck cord () in dependence on a result of the comparison.

Lanyard device, method and personal lanyard monitoring system

There is provided a method, apparatus and system for method for tailoring at least one subsequent communication to a user. Data acquired on the user in connection with a plurality of communications to the user is processed to determine a value for one or more characteristics indicative of a state of the user in connection with each communication. At least one communication parameter is varied in respect of each communication. The values for the one or more characteristics indicative of the state of the user that are determined in connection with each communication are compared to identify one or more communication parameters that are most suitable for the user. One or more communication parameters are set for the at least one subsequent communication to the user according to the one or more identified communication parameters. The subsequent communication to the user is enabled based on the set one or more communication parameters.
