The present disclosure pertains to a system for providing client-side physiological condition estimations during a live video session. In some embodiments, the system includes a first client computer system that is caused to: (i) store a neural network on one or more computer-readable storage media of the first client computer system, (ii) obtain a live video stream of an individual via a camera of the first client computer system during a video streaming session between the first client computer system and a second client computer system, (iii) provide, during the video streaming session, video data of the live video stream as input to the neural network to obtain physiological condition information from the neural network, and (iv) provide, during the video streaming session, the physiological condition information for presentation at the second client computer system.

System and method for client-side physiological condition estimations based on a video of an individual

There is provided an apparatus () for monitoring swallowing in a subject. The apparatus () comprises a processor () configured to acquire, from a motion sensor (), motion signals obtained from a feeding tube, when placed in the esophagus of the subject. The motion signals are indicative of swallowing motions transmitted along the feeding tube. The processor () is also configured to process the acquired motion signals to classify the acquired motion signals as indicative of the subject swallowing healthily or unhealthily.

Monitoring swallowing in a subject

The invention describes a method of predicting a stabilization temperature (T) of a subject () with a heat-flow sensor () comprising a plurality of thermistors (S, S, SA, SA, SB, SB), which method comprises the steps of expressing the temperature development of the heat-flow sensor () as a stretched exponential equation characterized by a time constant (&#x3c4;) and a sensor characteristic scalar value (m); receiving temperature measurement values (T, T, T, T) collected by the thermistors (S, S, SA, SA, SB, SB); estimating the time constant (&#x3c4;) on the basis of the temperature measurement values (T, T, T, T); and deducing the future stabilization temperature (T) on the basis of the estimated time constant (&#x3c4;). The invention further describes heat-flow sensor () and a temperature sensing arrangement ().

The present invention relates to a device for monitoring an eye of a subject, comprising: a transparent carrier for being in contact with the eye of the subject; and a photosensor facing the eye of the subject for receiving light reflected from the eye of the subject and for determining a light intensity of the received light, wherein the photosensor is arranged on the transparent carrier; and wherein the photosensor includes one of: a plurality of photodetectors arranged in the form of a two-dimensional array and spaced apart from one another for allowing incident light to pass between the photodetectors to enter the eye of the subject wherein the plurality of photodetectors is arranged in a plurality of rows of photodetectors or in a plurality of concentric circles substantially covering the iris and the pupil of the eye of the subject; and a single large area photodetector covering an iris and a pupil of the eye of the subject. The present invention further relates to a system and method for monitoring a pain level of a subject comprising a device as defined above.

A device and method for monitoring pain of a user () are presented. The device () comprises a receiving unit () for receiving an accelerometer signal () from an accelerometer sensor () worn by the user (), wherein the accelerometer signal () comprises components of a pulse signal () and a respiration signal (); and a processing unit () configured to: derive the pulse signal () and the respiration signal () from the accelerometer signal (); adapt the pulse signal () based on the respiration signal () in order to obtain a corrected pulse signal (); and derive a pain descriptor based on the corrected pulse signal ().

Wearable pain monitor using accelerometry

Systems and methods for electrocardiography monitoring use multiple capacitive sensors in order to determine reliable measurements of electrophysiological information of a patient. Relative coupling strength and/or reliability is used to select dynamically which sensors to use in order to determine, in particular, an electrocardiogram of the patient.
