A plaque detection system is presented including a dental implement and a multi-mode optical waveguide for receiving fluorescence light from a plurality of angles, the fluorescence light traveling along a core of the multimode optical waveguide at different path lengths resulting in modal dispersion. The plaque detection system also includes a detector configured to receive the fluorescence light for detecting plaque, calculus, and/or caries, and communicating plaque identification information of teeth based on frequency domain lifetime measurements. The modal dispersion is used to detect at least one plaque, calculus, and or caries fluorescence area on the teeth. The plaque fluorescence area detected with modal dispersion includes different levels of plaque with respect to a center point of the plaque fluorescence area. Thus, a plaque detection signal depends on a radial distance from the center point of the plaque fluorescence area.

Presented are concepts for monitoring activities of daily living, ADLs, of a person within an environment. Once such concept provides a graphical interface for an ADL monitoring system, wherein the graphical interface is adapted to display a graphical element representative of an ADL detected by the ADL monitoring system, and wherein the shape, size, position, orientation, pulsating and/or color of at least a portion of the graphical element is based on one or more attributes of the detected ADL.

Monitoring activities of daily living of a person

A system comprising location server, a localization module and a node manager. The location server comprises a network interface operable to receive measurement reports submitted from a plurality of reference nodes of a location network, each measurement report reporting a measurement of a signal received by a respective one of the reference nodes from a respective one of one or more mobile devices. The localization module is configured to determine a location of one or more of the mobile devices based on at least some of the plurality of measurement reports. The node manager is configured to control whether and/or when one or more of the plurality of measurement reports are submitted from one or more of the reference nodes, in dependence on a measure of relevance to the determination of the location of one or more of the mobile devices.
