  • Patent number: 11002975
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system includes a wearable device configured to be attached to a display configured to display a display image. The wearable device features an optical component set featuring a lens, a first user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to a projection angle of the visual image, and a second user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to at least one of a color tone or a brightness of the visual image. A position of the visual image is changed by adjusting the projection angle of the visual image using the first user operable member so that the visual image is displayed at a position based on at least one of a shape or a size of the head of the user. The color tone or the brightness of the visual image is changed using the second user operable member.

  • Publication number: 20210125726
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a healthcare support system includes a memory and a hardware processor connected to the memory. The hardware processor predicts a risk value of a disease based on medical checkup data for a medical examinee. The hardware processor sets a reduction target for the risk value of the disease, and sets a plurality of second factors constituting search targets among a plurality of first factors relating to the disease and a search range for each of the second factors. The hardware processor searches, by using a predetermined search method, in the search range for each of the second factors, for a target value candidate of each of the second factors so that the risk value of the disease is brought close to the reduction target.

  • Publication number: 20210072836
    Abstract: An eyeglasses-type wearable device of an embodiment can handle various data inputs. The device includes right and left eye frames corresponding to positions of right and left eyes and nose pads corresponding to a position of a nose. Eye motion detection electrodes (sightline detection sensor electrodes) are provided with the nose pads to detect the eye motion of a user. Transmitter/receiver electrodes (capacitance sensor electrodes) of a gesture detector are provided with a part of the right and left eye frames to detect a gesture of the user. Various data inputs are achieved by a combination of input A corresponding to a gesture of the user detected by the gesture detector and input B corresponding to the eye motion of the user detected by the eye motion detector.
