  • Publication number: 20240188846
    Abstract: A system for monitoring health of a person during a health monitoring session (s) is disclosed. System includes a breathing pacer configured to indicate breathing information to the person, the breathing pacer arranged to operate in a controlled mode, the controlled mode including timing breathing events to the person, and in a variable mode, the variable mode including indicating information related to a resonance score RS to the person. Breathing information is determined by fitting a periodic biofeedback function into the instantaneous heart rate data within time window (w) to determine the parameters of the periodic biofeedback function at the timepoint (t) and the cumulative difference E at the timepoint (t). A related method and computer program are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10960174
    Abstract: A system and method of monitoring the health of a person. The system comprises at least one sensor capable of measuring at least one physiological signal generated by the autonomic nervous system of the person for providing measurement data, and a data processing system which is configured to store a reference indicator, to receive measurement data from the sensor during a plurality of consecutive health-maintenance sessions in order to collect a plurality of measurement data sets corresponding to said health-maintenance sessions, to determine at last one health indicator based on the measurement data sets, said at least one health indicator being sensitive to physiological state of or changes in the autonomic nervous system, and to compare the at least one health indicator with said reference indicator. Objective information on autonomic nervous system related dysfunctions is retrieved which allows for systematic treatment to the person.

  • Patent number: 8781752
    Abstract: The method is for controlling a measurement process of blood glucose of a patient. At least one repeatedly occurring even is selected within a period of time. A blood glucose measurement difference data is obtained that is associable to the event. Trend data is calculated from the difference data. The measurement process is controlled by using the trend data. Also an arrangement, computer program product and a device are disclosed.
