In certain embodiments, trigger-associated user messaging may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a first set of candidate users for messaging with a first user in connection with occurrence of a first trigger associated with the first user may be obtained. The first user may be monitored via one or more sensors for occurrence of the first trigger. A first occurrence of the first trigger may be determined based on the monitoring. Based on the first occurrence of the first trigger, the first set of candidate users may be accessed to initiate messaging between the first user and one or more users of the first set of candidate users. Messaging between the first user and a second user (of the first set of candidate users) may be initiated based on the second user having a higher priority than a third user of the first set of candidate users.

Systems and methods for facilitating trigger-associated user messaging

A system for providing a reminder to a user is provided that stores reminder information relating to a task that the user wishes to be reminded about, along with activity information comprising information on activities that are considered to have an effect on the efficacy of the reminder associated with the task. The system monitors the user to determine if the activities in the activity information are being performed to produce a monitoring result, and then determines when to remind the user about the task based on the monitoring result by comparing the monitoring result to a threshold. A reminder alert is then output to the user when the monitoring result meets or exceeds the threshold.

System for reminding a user

The present invention relates to a gas supply system () for a patient interface () for supplying a flow of pressurized gas to a subject (), an according patient interface () with such a gas supply system () and a therapy device with such a gas supply system. The gas supply systems according to the present invention comprise a pump device () that has at least one membrane () for pumping actuation. This membrane () is actuated via an electro-active polymer material ().

The present invention relates to a control device () and method for controlling a display that reliably and efficiently enhances a person's compliance, e.g., a patient's compliance with his care plan. The control device comprises a presentation style selector () for selecting a presentation style to be used for visually presenting the received information on the display in text form, wherein the presentation style is selected based on an importance indicator indicating the importance of the information with respect to a task or plan of the person and obtained boundary conditions for the presentation style to be selected for presenting the information in text form such that more important information is displayed using a presentation style that is more difficult to read than a presentation style used for displaying less important information. A controller () controls the display () to visually present the received information on the display in text form using the selected presentation style.

Control device and method for optimizing a presentation style of specific content for a specific user

Method and apparatus for granting control of a shared-access system. The method comprises: obtaining () an identity of a user; obtaining () a priority rating associated with the user, wherein the priority rating is updated in response to one or more observed activities of the user, the one or more observed activities being linked to the shared-access system (); comparing the priority rating with a threshold; and granting () control of at least a part of the shared-access system () to the user if the priority rating is above the threshold. For example, each user may have a respective 'strength of association' with the shared-access system or part thereof; the shared-access system may comprise one or more lighting units arranged to illuminate an environment, and a user who is present most often in the environment may be deemed to have the 'strongest association' with the shared-access system.

Granting control of a shared system

A system for providing a reminder to a user is provided that comprises a reminder datastore arranged to store reminder information relating to a task for the user to be reminded about, and a reminder processor arranged to determine a time at which the reminder is due, based on the reminder information. A locating mechanism is provided to obtain information relating to a location of the user, and an output mechanism is provided to output reminder alerts through one or more reminder devices. The reminder processor is arranged to obtain information relating to a location of the user for the time at which the reminder is due, from the locating mechanism, and to identify one of the one or more reminder devices in proximity to said location of the user, based on known locations of the one or more reminder devices. The output mechanism is arranged to output a reminder alert through the identified reminder device.
