  • Publication number: 20230190100
    Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods of automated physiological monitoring and prognosis of a plurality of subjects. A system includes a plurality of monitoring devices, each having a portion configured for deployment on a surface either opposite a concha or over a mastoid region of a subject, where real-time physiological parameter monitoring is performed. Each monitoring device also includes processor-executable program code configured to periodically generate respective values indicative of real-time physiological signs for the respective subject, and a transmitter configured to periodically and wirelessly transmit these periodically generated respective values to a mobile communication and display device.

  • Publication number: 20230001809
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first electrical connector; and a second electrical connector. The first and second electrical connectors have magnets to provide a magnetic holding force with each other and provide alignment of the electrical connectors to hold the second electrical connector against the first electrical connector at a predetermined position. Magnetic poles of the magnets are configured to limit orientation of the second electrical connector on the first electrical connector. The second electrical connector includes two power contacts and an interruption detector contact, where the power contacts are movably mounted on the second housing and configured to disconnect from electrical contacts of the first electrical connector, when the second electrical connector is being disconnected from the first electrical connector, only after the interruption detector contact of the second plurality of electrical contacts disconnects from an electrical contact of the first electrical connector.

  • Publication number: 20210000347
    Abstract: Physiological sign monitoring devices, and systems and computer-implemented methods of remote physiological monitoring of subjects. A monitoring device includes a plurality of physiological sign monitoring portions. Each physiological sign monitoring portion of the device is configured for deployment on a different, respective surface of a subject including a surface on the back of an ear of the subject, a surface over a mastoid region of the neck of the subject, and a surface over another region of the neck of the subject. Each physiological sign monitoring portion of the device includes a plurality of physiological sensors, where each sensor is configured to generate a respective electronic signal based on a respective monitored physiological parameter of the subject. At least one physiological sensor in each physiological sign monitoring portion of the device is configured to generate a respective electronic signal based on the same monitored physiological parameter of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20150286650
    Abstract: A system for decision making and activity recommendations. The invention comprises a system whereby a user can generate personalized activity recommendations by using a user's online persona, comprised of information from any or all of the user or users' profiles, preferences, settings, past experiences, and data and associated connections from their social networks and Internet activity. A user can then share their recommendations via the invention, their mobile devices, social networks, and Internet websites. Recommendations can then be used to facilitate the user's life, e.g. send communications, acknowledgements, reservation requests, calendar events, etc. Users can share, link, and store their activities for better recommendations and collaboration in the future.

  • Patent number: 8535152
    Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle, such as a wheelchair system, includes a user interface that includes a user input and a display for displaying information to the user and a control unit that includes a data processor and a memory. The data processor is responsive to the user entering information into the personal mobility vehicle, where the information indicates a user selection of a game function integrated into the personal mobility vehicle, to enable the user play a game via the user interface. The operation of playing the game includes a preliminary step of switching at least a portion of the user interface from a normal mode of controlling some function, such as mobility, of the personal mobility vehicle to a game playing function.
