It is proposed to obtain information about a stress or anxiety level of a subject within a predetermined time period before, during and/or after a capture time of a fMRI scan image. Using this information, embodiments may provide additional/supplementary information that may aid, assist or otherwise improve interpretation of the fMRI scan image.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging

The present disclosure relates to a system for monitoring a state of well-being of an individual. The system includes a remotely operating camera-based sensing unit including at least one image sensor arranged to remotely monitor a skin portion of a user and a close-up sensing unit provided at a hand-held personal care appliance. The close-up sensing unit is arranged to monitor a physiological signal of the user. The monitoring of the physiological signal is temporally aligned with the remote monitoring of the skin portion of the user. The system also includes a control unit arranged to process first sensor data provided by the remotely operating camera-based sensing unit and second sensor data provided by the close-up sensing unit.

A system for unobtrusively determining a fertile window includes a contact sensor in contact with the woman and configured to provide a signal indicative of respiration of the woman. A processor is configured to process the signal to obtain a biomechanical parameter indicative of the respiration, and determine the fertile window of the woman based on a change in the obtained biomechanical parameter.

A device is provided for controlling the nitric oxide levels within the lungs of a subject. The device comprises a detector for detecting the respiration cycle of the subject and a stimulator for applying an acoustic or vibratory stimulus to the subject. The stimulator is controlled in dependence on the detected respiration cycle. In particular, acoustic stimulation may be provided at the onset of inspiration. In this way, the nitric oxide flow can be controlled in a way to ensure that the paranasal nitric oxide is nearly fully inspired. This provides a higher nitric oxide concentration in the lung/alveoli.

The present invention relates to a device (), system () and method for detection of an asthma attack or asthma of a subject. For this purpose, the device comprises a light sensor input (), e.g. a 2D camera, for obtaining light sensor data of the scene and a thermal sensor input (), e.g. a thermal camera, for obtaining thermal sensor data of a scene including a subject while breathing. An analysis unit () obtains these data and derives respiratory effort information indicating respiratory efforts of the subject from the obtained light sensor data and/or the obtained thermal sensor data and derives airflow information indicating airflow during respiration of the subject from the obtained thermal sensor data. Further, the analysis unit () predicts or detects an asthma attack or asthma based on analysis of the respiratory effort information and the airflow information, said analysis evaluating deviations from predetermined or healthy correlations between respiratory efforts and airflow.

A phototherapy device with pain location input phototherapy device for relieving nociceptive pain of a body part of a user by illumination of at least a part of the body part. A controllable light source system (LSLSLS) comprises at least one light source arranged on a patch structure (PS) so as to allow phototherapeutic illumination of a body part. A user interface (U_I), e.g. a touch panel (TP), is arranged to receive an input from the user regarding a spatial position on the body where the user feels pain. A control system (CS) is arranged to control the controllable light source system (LSLSLS) in accordance with said input from the user, e.g. to spatially intensify illumination at the position where the user indicates a sensation of pain. E.g. the device may be wirelessly controlled from the a smart phone, where a map of the body can be displayed, and where the user indicates on this map where he/she feels pain.

A gas sensor system is for use in, or in the vicinity of, a toilet, for detecting a target gas. A gas sensor detects a concentration of at least the target gas and a further, reference, gas which is received from a controlled gas release device. These concentrations are processed to obtain a concentration of the target gas relative to the concentration of the further gas by combining a change in the detected concentration of the target gas, a change in the detected concentration of the further gas, the sensitivity of the gas sensor system to the target gas and the sensitivity of the gas sensor system to the further gas. This approach avoids the need for extensive calibration operations to tune the sensor response to the environment in which it is used.

Chemical analysis of urine and feces vapor

A method of obtaining a desired state in () a subject comprises measuring one or more physiological parameters of the subject (), calculating, using the measured parameter(s), a value (), determining if the calculated value () is to be modified, modifying the calculated value, if the determination is that the value is to be modified, and generating an output to the subject, the output being in proportion to the modified value (). The step of modifying the calculated value, if the determination is that the value is to be modified,&#x2014;can comprise accessing a modification scheme and modifying the calculated value according, to the modification scheme. One method of modifying the calculated value comprises amplifying the calculated value.

The device of the invention comprises a thin film transistor of an organic semiconductor material. This semiconductor material is patterned by applying first a protective layer and thereafter a photoresist. As a result hereof, the transistor of the invention (A) shows a very low leakage current and a low threshold voltage in comparison with prior art transistors (B,C).
