  • BODY COMPOSITION PREDICTION BY THE SUMMATION OF REGIONAL ESTIMATES DETERMINED FROM ANATOMICAL SUBREGION GEOMETRY
    Publication number: 20260144484
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus determines an individual body composition by the summation of regional estimates determined from anatomical subregion geometry (e.g., lengths, surface areas, volumes). The anatomical subregion geometry may be based on a surface mesh presented by a 3D whole-body scanner. Regional composition estimates are produced by processing subregion geometry combinations by fitted weight values. The regional composition estimates are then summed to produce an individual body composition.

  • Method for estimating core body temperature
    Patent number: 12426839
    Abstract: The invention in at least one embodiment includes a method for determining the core body temperature of a person by determining an initial core body temperature and heart rate of said person; providing the initial core body temperature and heart rate of the person to a processor; and calculating a predicted core body temperature by the processor using an extended Kalman filter based on the heart rate and the initial core body temperature. In another embodiment, a system for performing the method.
