Abstract: Systems for assisting a user in performance of a meditation activity or another type of activity are described. The systems receive user input and sensor data indicating physiological values associated with the user. These values are used to determine a recommended type of activity and a length of time for the activity. While the user performs the activity, sensors are used to measure physiological values, and an output that is provided to the user is selected based on the measured physiological values. The output may be selected to assist the user in reaching target physiological values, such as a slower respiration rate. After completion of the activity, additional physiological values are used to determine the effectiveness of the activity and the output that was provided. The effectiveness of the activity and the output may be used to determine future recommendations and future output.

Abstract: A vehicle hybrid communication system includes a vehicle communication device and a field communication device. The vehicle communication device includes a vehicle controller and multiple vehicle communication interfaces. The field communication device includes a field controller and multiple field communication interfaces. The vehicle communication device and the field communication device communicate via multiple communication channels established by the vehicle communication interfaces and the field communication interfaces. The vehicle controller respectively defines a bandwidth level and a speed level based on a real-time bandwidth and a real-time connection speed of each of the communication channels. The vehicle controller then creates a score based on the bandwidth level and the speed level of each of the communication channels. The vehicle controller then sets one of the communication channels with the best score as a main communication channel to transfer data to the field communication device.

Abstract: Example embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to detecting drowsiness in a driver of a vehicle. In an example method, a driver drowsiness detection system receives a motor cortex signal from a brain activity monitoring element attached to the driver. The brain activity monitoring element can be a cortical implant, for example. The driver drowsiness detection system evaluates the motor cortex signal to identify an anatomical part of the driver (eyes, for example) that is associated with a brain activity. The driver drowsiness detection system then uses a drowsiness detection device placed in the vehicle for evaluating a physical activity of the anatomical part. The evaluation may be carried out by using a camera directed upon the driver's eyes, for example. The driver drowsiness detection system determines a drowsiness state of the driver based on the evaluation and assigns a sleep risk score.

Abstract: A mathematical model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patient decision-making can be used to simulate, in silico, realistic glucose/insulin dynamics, for several days, in a variety of subjects who take therapeutic actions (e.g. insulin dosing) driven by either self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The decision-making (DM) model can simulate real-life situations and everyday patient behaviors. Accurate submodels of SMBG and CGM measurement errors are incorporated in the comprehensive DM model. The DM model accounts for common errors the patients are used to doing in their diabetes management, such as miscalculations of meal carbohydrate content, early/delayed insulin administrations and missed insulin boluses. The DM model can be used to assess in silico if/when CGM can safely substitute SMBG in T1D management, to develop and test guidelines for CGM driven insulin dosing, to optimize and individualize off-line insulin therapies and to develop and test decision support systems.
