Abstract: A system has a contactless user-interface through which a user controls a functionality of the system. The contactless user-interface has a detector sub-system and a user-feedback sub-system. The contactless user-interface has an alert mode and a control mode. In the alert mode, the user-feedback sub-system has a display monitor to provide a visible acknowledgement to the user, in response to the detector sub-system having detected the presence of the user within a an alert range. The contactless user-interface transitions from the alert mode to the control mode in response to the detector sub-system detecting an initialization gesture of the user. In the control mode, the contactless user-interface controls the functionality in response to the detector subsystem detecting a control gesture of the user. The visible acknowledgement is made to mirror the movements of the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (100), a device, a method (200), and a computer program for providing a health advice to a subject. It is proposed to modify a digital coaching advice depending on trends of a physiological observable (e.g., weight, Body Mass Index, etc.). A digital coach varies the wording of his/her advice depending on the risk categorization. It is proposed to analyze physiological measurements for deviation from the mean and rate of change and to translate these basic statistics into a concept of urgency/risk to structurally vary the wording or appearance of a digital coach. Thus, a digital coach as proposed herein may look, act and talk differently depending on the urgency/risk of the users. Coaches may vary in language and appearance from gentle, via hard-but-fair, to “drill sergeant”.

Abstract: An air quality alert system provides a signal which indicates whether or not a door or window should be (fully or partially) opened or closed. The system takes account of the air quality in a first area (e.g. outdoors) as well as the proximity of the user to a door or window so that information is only provided when the user is situated at the door or window. This avoids overloading the user with unwanted information.
