A method for measuring stress based on the heart rate (HR), the heart rate variability (HRV), and the activity level of a user includes recording the HR, the HRV, and the activity level of a user at various times during the day. Thereafter, the three values are correlated to arrive at a stress level of the user. The stress level is estimated based on a predetermined set of algorithms and analysis methods. The physical disposition and the activity levels of the user are automatically detected and the vital parameters, i.e., the HR and the HRV recorded at times that are deemed fit for conducting orthostatic tests.

Measuring chronic stress

The portable electronic device includes radiation elements (A,B) for directing optical radiation energy non-invasively at intracranial nerve tissue of a user through an external auditory canal of the user of the portable electronic device to stimulate the user's intracranial nerve tissue. Stimulation may have a metabolic and/or nervous response, which appears as a change in alertness, diurnal rhythm and in concentrations of several hormones and brain transmitters.

Portable electronic device

A portable electronic device comprises illuminating unit () configured to illuminate extrapupillarily the skin covering a user's eye cavity with optical radiation, thus resulting in diffuse propagation of optical radiation energy to an optically sensitive tissue of the user's eye, and adapting unit () for adapting the illuminating unit () to the user's head.

Portable device

There is provided an apparatus, a method and a computer program. The apparatus comprises medical imaging unit for generating a group of voxel values of a patient, a voxel value representing an electromagnetically detectable functional state in a brain voxel of the patient, data processing unit for generating from the group of voxel values of the patient an indication that represents a level of a specific medical disorder of the patient, and illumination unit for directing non-invasively a dose of light to the brain of the patient.

Light dispensing apparatus

There is provided electronic device, comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive heart rate data generated by a heart rate measuring system; a calculation unit configured to calculate heart rate variation data on the basis of the received heart rate data. The electronic device further comprises: a processing unit configured to analyse the calculated heart rate variation data in comparison with the corresponding heart rate data, and to determine at least one threshold value for fat burning on the basis of the analysis.

Electronic device and method for determining a fat burning threshold using heart rate variability

The invention relates to a method, a user-specific performance monitor and a computer program for determining the user's performance. In the method, the performance power of a physical exercise is determined by means of user movement data registered by the user-specific performance monitor. Further, the exertion level corresponding to the performance power of the physical exercise is determined by means of physiological information measured from the user, the physiological information being registered by the user-specific performance monitor; and the user's performance is estimated by means of the performance power of the physical exercise and the exertion level corresponding to the performance power of the physical exercise.

Method, performance monitor and computer program for determining performance

A method of light therapy includes non-invasive, intra-cranial administration of bright light via the ear canal of a subject by using a light intensity of 0.7-12 lumens, and a treatment time of 1-15 minutes. A medical device including radiation elements for directing the light via the ear canal for use in the light therapy is described.
