Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining an intimate activity has occurred based on data collected with a radar detection device. Data relating to sleep patterns, such as of a sleep study participant, may be collected with a radar detection device in close proximity to a bed or other reference point. The data may be processed to determine occurrence of intimate activities, based on detected movements and/or positions of body profiles relative to each other and/or to a common reference point. The data corresponding to intimate activities may therefore be appropriately processed, such as by being excluded from the sleep record data to provide privacy to a user.

Abstract: An apparatus and method wherein the apparatus comprises: a graphene field effect transistor comprising quantum dots (7) coupled to a graphene channel (5); wherein the graphene field effect transistor is configured to be illuminated by a pulse of electromagnetic radiation (9) and configured to be exposed to a sample (11) such that an output provided by the graphene field effect transistor, in response to the pulse of electromagnetic radiation, is dependent upon at least one analyte within the sample.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining stress recovery based on chest and abdominal breathing information from a detection device such as a radar detection device. Stress recovery may be determined by monitoring a phase difference between chest and abdominal breathing relative to a stress indicator, such as heart rate variability. Target respiration information may be determined and/or calibrated for the particular user based on the stress indicator. Breathing exercises may be provided to the user to assist in steadying their breathing and recovering from stress. Based on the monitoring of the chest and abdominal breathing information, efficacy of the breathing exercise may then be determined based on whether the user is recovering from stress, and further feedback may be provided to the user.

Preferably, the intermediate region comprises metal nanowires (105) in a polymer matrix, and the device is a memristor or a memcapacitor. In the latter case, the switching region comprises a conductive material (106) and an insulating material (107).

Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to determine a placement of the apparatus with respect to a user, determine a confidence level of the determination of the placement, and based at least in part on the placement and the confidence level, select either a classifier specific to the placement or a general classifier. Calibrated and/or uncalibrated sensor information may be used in phases of implementing the invention.

Abstract: An approach is provided for distinguishing between various user health-related states based on user interaction information from mobile devices. The state platform may process and/or facilitate a processing of user interaction information associated with at least one device to determine one or more cognitive features of at least one user. Then, the state platform may cause, at least in part, a calculation of one or more feature vectors based, at least in part, on the one or more cognitive features. Then, the state platform may determine at least one current health-related state associated with the at least one user based, at least in part, on the one or more feature vectors.
