Abstract: There is provided a blood pressure monitor for use in measuring the blood pressure of a subject, the blood pressure monitor comprising a cuff that is configured to be placed around a body part of the subject and inflated to apply pressure to the body part; a pressure sensor that is configured to provide measurements of the pressure in the cuff; a plethysmography sensor comprising a coil having one or more windings that is configured to provide an output signal indicating the volume of the body part of the subject and/or changes in the volume of the body part; and a processing unit that is configured to determine the blood pressure of the subject from the measurements of the pressure in the cuff and the measurements of the volume of the body part and/or the changes in the volume of the body part. A corresponding method claim is also provided.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for pulse wave velocity determination using intravascular pressure measurement and external ultrasound imaging are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for determining a respiratory feature of a subject based on a breathing gas generated by the subject when inhaling and/or exhaling, comprising an aerosol detection unit (12) for detecting an aerosol contained in a breathing gas generated by the subject, a deposition fraction measurement unit (14) for measuring a deposition fraction for the detected aerosol, wherein the deposition fraction indicates the fraction of aerosol deposited inside the subject over the total amount of the inhaled aerosol, and a respiratory feature determination unit (16) for determining the respiratory feature by relating the measured deposition fraction to a plurality of predetermined deposition fractions each corresponding to a different airway geometry of a respiratory tract.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a device (2) for monitoring the inhalation of airborne pollutant by a subject, the device (2) comprising a processing unit (4) configured to determine or receive measurements of the amount of airborne pollutant around the subject and the amount of air inhaled by the subject, and to combine the measurements to determine a measure of the amount of airborne pollutant inhaled by the subject. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A device for providing assistance to a person comprises a data input for obtaining person related data representing data obtained by monitoring the person, a data processing unit for processing the obtained person related data to determine the person's mental state and/or cognitive level from the obtained person related data, to detect if the person has limited or no ability to perform a desired task and to generate assistance data in case of detection that the person has limited or no ability to perform the desired task and/or if the person's current mental state and/or cognitive level is below a threshold or out of a distribution or value range required to perform the desired task, said assistance data representing data directed to supporting the person in performing the desired task by adapting the number of functions of an appliance accessible and controllable by the person according to the person's current mental state and/or cognitive level, and a data output for providing said assistance data for suppo

Abstract: A system for analysis of the upper airway has a sensor arrangement with at least two sensor positions provided along a flow path leading to the mouth and/or nose of a user (4). A relation is derived between sensor signals at the two locations, and this is interpreted to detect at least the presence of upper airway obstructions, and preferably also the location and/or extent of such obstructions. The system is adapted to distinguish between inhalation and exhalation using the acoustic sensor arrangement signals at the first and second locations.

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 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
