A device having a sensor detecting patient physiological data, a detection element detecting whether a medical professional is present in a patient's room and a display. If a medical professional is present in the patient's room, the display displays a first display mode, the first display mode including the patient physiological data. If a medical professional is not present in the patient's room, the display displays a second display mode, the second display mode being adapted for viewing by lay viewers.

System and method for providing family mode for monitoring devices

An assistance system for visually handicapped persons with visual impairment in a part of their visual field includes body-worn sensors to inform them actively about objects or movements in the visually impaired sides.

Assistance system for visually handicapped persons

A method for determining a viewing configuration of a rendered figure of a rehab-patient or a sports trainee, aiming to deliver a suitable view on the rendered figure, the method comprising the steps of capturing motion data in the 3D space of one or more body parts of the rehab-patientor the sports trainee and providing them to a computer; and further the step of performing on the computer measurements of deviation of the captured motion data from a reference list of motion data and/or measurements of main motion direction; and based on the results of the above measurements, determining the viewing configuration.

Method and system for selecting the viewing configuration of a rendered figure

An automatic sensor position recognition system including a position recognition unit located at pre-determined positions on a person's body and bearing a unique identification; a sensor bearing a unique identification; a communication unit assigned to the sensor and being in communication with the position recognition unit and the sensor; a data processing unit in communication with the communication unit; and a database being in communication with the data processing system and comprising the correlation of the unique identification of the position recognition unit and the pre-determined position of the position recognition unit. The system provides an automatic association between sensors and body segments as well as means to obtain these associations.

System and method for automatic sensor position recognition

A controller for a display device includes a processor configured to receive an indication of the orientation of a user of the display device; receive an indication of the orientation of the display device; and generate a graphical representation of a user of the display device using the received indications, such that the orientation of the graphical representation of the user is adapted based on the orientation of the display device.

Graphical representations

An assistance system for visually handicapped persons with visual impair in a part of their visual field aims at providing a technical solution for these persons, informing them actively about objects or movements in the visually impaired side, by way of body-worn sensors.

A sensor docking unit for attaching and removing sensor or marker onto/from a user's limb includes a guiding portion and a limb localization unit having a detector to determine if an insertion of the user's limb into a pre-specified position within the sensor docking unit has been completed correctly. A sensor or marker mounting device includes at least one sensor or marker entity to enable at least semi-automatic attachment and/or removal of the at least one sensor or marker to/from the user's limb in a reproducible manner. The sensor or marker mounting device is activatable to start with an attachment and/or removal of the at least one sensor or marker when a correct insertion of the user's limb has been determined by the limb localization unit.

System for rehabilitation and/or physical therapy for the treatment of neuromotor disorders

A limb movement monitoring system, comprising a motion sensor, a garment comprising spatially addressable photonic textiles and spatially resolving pressure-sensitive textiles and furthermore a muscular activity sensor, a processing unit processing the data from the sensors and issuing illumination commands to the spatially addressable photonic textiles and a database. There is furthermore a process for monitoring limb movement by the system.

Limb movement monitoring system

An automatic dialog system for spoken inquiries into a database entry which contains several components available for inquiry, wherein speech recognition of a spoken utterance for inquiring into the database entry is supported by a language model which was prepared before a start of the dialog to which the spoken utterance belongs and which models a relative frequency of correlated occurrence of the components of the database entry provided for the inquiry in the spoken utterance of the dialog.
