Abstract: The present invention relates to a device, system and method for detecting illness- and/or therapy-related fatigue of a person in an easy and reliable way. For this purpose the device comprises an input unit (20) for obtaining white blood cell count data related to the person's white blood cell count, hemoglobin level data related to the person's hemoglobin level and cortisol level data related to the person's cortisol level, and an analyzer (21) for detecting illness- and/or therapy-related fatigue of the person based on the obtained white blood cell count data, hemoglobin level data and cortisol level data.

Abstract: There is provided a contact lens for detecting changes in a property of ocular fluid. The contact lens comprises a lens part comprising an indicator material, wherein the volume of the indicator material is variable in dependence on a property of ocular fluid. The contact lens further comprises output means disposed on the lens part, wherein the output means is configured to provide an output which is variable in dependence on the volume of the indicator material.

Abstract: The invention provides a resource monitoring method for a facility in a resource constrained environment, the method being adapted to provide a facility rating value based on measures of both human resource consumption and equipment or infrastructure resource consumption over a period of time. A first use value is obtained, representative of a measure of human resource used over a period of time. A second use value is obtained, representative of a measure of resource consumption of equipment and infrastructure (i.e. non-human resource use) over the same period of time. The facility rating value is generated based on the first use value and the second use value.

Abstract: According to an aspect there is provided a method of assessing the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, in a subject, the method comprising determining measurements of the breathing rate of the subject, the activity level of the subject, a measure of the respiratory effort of the subject and a measure of the severity or intensity of coughing by the subject; and combining the measurements of the breathing rate, the activity level, the measure of the respiratory effort and the measure of the severity or intensity of coughing to determine a score representing the severity of COPD in the subject.

Abstract: A method for use in detecting and monitoring effects experienced by a subject taking a first drug, drug A, and at least one other substance, substance B, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a plurality of measured values of a physiological characteristic of the subject over a time period; (b) comparing the measured values to a predefined signature, the drug A signature, associated with the first drug, and thereby calculating a measure, Adiff, of the difference between the measured values and the drug A signature; (c) comparing the measured values to a predefined signature, the substance B signature, associated with the at least one other substance, and thereby calculating a measure, Bdiff, of the difference between the measured values and the substance B signature; (d) comparing the measured values to a predefined signature, the DO signature, associated with a desired physiological state of the subject, and thereby calculating a measure, DOdiff, of the difference between the measured values and the DO signat

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wearable device for collecting ocular fluid of a user, comprising a fluid channel for enabling flow of ocular fluid within the fluid channel when the wearable device is worn by the user, the fluid channel extending from an open end in an annular geometry, the open end being configured to receive ocular fluid, wherein the wearable device further comprises one or more modular compartment units detachably connected to the fluid channel and/or include a porous layer comprising a plurality of pores extending through the porous layer in a radial direction, wherein the fluid channel and/or the one or more modular compartment units are configured to contain a hydrophilic material in an inner space of each modular compartment unit, the hydrophilic material being configured to absorb the ocular fluid, wherein the fluid channel and/or the inner space of each modular compartment unit is, when the device is worn by the user, in fluidic connection with the ocular fluid of the user via the

Abstract: A device and method for monitoring pain of a user (50) are presented. The device (10) comprises a receiving unit (12) for receiving an accelerometer signal (38) from an accelerometer sensor (30) worn by the user (50), wherein the accelerometer signal (38) comprises components of a pulse signal (20) and a respiration signal (22); and a processing unit (14) configured to: derive the pulse signal (20) and the respiration signal (22) from the accelerometer signal (38); adapt the pulse signal (20) based on the respiration signal (22) in order to obtain a corrected pulse signal (40); and derive a pain descriptor based on the corrected pulse signal (40).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (10) and method for non-invasively measuring a hydration state of a living being (62). To improve with respect to the convenience-to-use, the cost-effectiveness and the accuracy of the delivered results, the proposed device comprises a first light source (14) for emitting light of a first wavelength into a tissue portion (12) of the living being (62), polarization means (18) for polarizing at least part of the emitted light prior to an interaction of the emitted light with the tissue portion (12), a first light detector (26) for detecting polarized light of the first wavelength reflected at the tissue portion (12) and processing means (32) configured to derive a tissue hydration parameter from the detected reflected polarized light and to determine a body hydration index based on said tissue hydration parameter.
