An apparatus for monitoring patients undergoing a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) scan provides an input, a processor, and an output. The input provides the processor with at least one sensor data of a patient undergoing an MRI scan by an MRI scanner. The input provides the processor with at least one scan parameter of the MRI scanner for the MRI scan. The input also provides the processor with at least one characteristic of the patient. The processor predicts a stress level of the patient and/or a motion state of the patient, the prediction or predictions utilize at least one sensor data of the patient, the at least one scan parameter of the MRI scanner, and the at least one characteristic of the patient. The output outputs information relating to the predicted stress level of the patient and/or the predicted motion state of the patient.

Apparatus for monitoring of a patient undergoing a magnetic resonance image scan

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

There is provided a respiratory apparatus. The respiratory apparatus comprises a respiratory interface configured to aid a user in respiration and an attachment configured to hold the respiratory interface in position on the face of the user. The respiratory apparatus also comprises at least one electrode configured to provide electrical stimulation to one or more facial muscles of the user.

Respiratory apparatus and method of operating the respiratory apparatus

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation system () for a patient () suffering from a damaged muscle and/or nerve, said system () comprising: a brain activity sensor () for measuring a patient's brain activity related to controlling the damaged muscle and/or nerve; &#x2014;a muscle sensor () for measuring a muscular activity of the damaged muscle and/or a neural activity of the damaged nerve; a display () for displaying a representation () of an affected body part of the patient (); and a control unit () for determining an intended movement of the affected body part in which the damaged muscle and/or nerve is arranged, and for controlling the display () to display a representation () of the intended movement, wherein the control unit () is configured to determine the intended movement based on the patient's brain activity measured by the brain activity sensor () and based on the muscular and/or neural activity of the damaged muscle and/or nerve measured by the muscle sensor ().

Rehabilitation system and method

An environment control system () for controlling the environment in an area (), the area () comprising a plurality of sub-areas (-), the environment control system () comprising: a sensor unit () for generating a sensing signal pertaining to activity in the area (), the sensor unit () comprising an activity type determination unit () for determining an activity type for each sub-area (-) based on the generated sensing signal for the area (), a sound generating device () adapted to generate sound () with a varying sound property individually in each sub-area (-), the varying sound property having a first frequency, a light generating device () adapted to generate light () with a varying light property in each sub-area (-), the varying light property having a second frequency, a control unit () adapted to control the sound generating device () and the light generating device () independently for each sub-area (-), depending on the determined activity type for the corresponding sub-area (-), wherein the ratio between the first and the second frequency is an integer.

Environment control system

A medication management system () comprises a portable device () attachable to a user () and a medication dispenser (). The portable device comprises a lighting means () for providing a visual stimulus () to indicate an approaching medication intake moment or period. The medication dispenser () comprises further lighting means () for providing a further visual stimulus () to draw the attention of the user. The visual stimulus and the further visual stimulus have a same predetermined color and the visual stimulus () is provided a predetermined time before the medication dispenser provides the further visual stimulus ().

Medication management system and method

A system and method for reducing anxiety of a patient during medical scanning in a medical scanner which may produce significant levels of acoustic noise. A processor or control unit receives a measure of variation in a parameter of the scanner noise during the medical scanning. The processor then generates outputs to audio and video playback units that present an audio-video scenery to the patient during the scanning in accordance with the measure of variation in the parameter of the scanner noise. An image object in the video imagery is linked to the audio signal, so as to distract the patient's attention away from the scanner noise. The audio-video scenery may be switched according to an estimated scanner noise level. An effective distraction of the patient is obtained with a limited audio signal level which is far lower than the scanner noise.
