Abstract: A method for non-invasively monitoring a status of a user with a pulmonary condition comprises obtaining first video data of the user during a first test period; analyzing the obtained first video data to determine a first respiratory signal for the user; detecting any cough events present in the first respiratory signal; obtaining second video data of the user during a second, later, test period; analyzing the obtained second video data to determine a second respiratory signal for the user; detecting any cough events present in the second respiratory signal; determining a respiratory status of the user based on the results of the detecting and outputting a signal containing information about the respiratory status of the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to system for determining a movement of a control device and a system for detecting drowsiness of a driver of a vehicle, as well as an according processing unit used for this purpose and an according method. The system (12) for determining a movement comprises a plurality of light sensors (16), a processing unit (14) and an interface (18), wherein the light sensors (44-58) are able to transmit light intensity information to the processing unit (14) and the latter is able to provide information to a user. Further, the processing unit (14) is able to determine the movement of the control device based on the light intensity information submitted by the light sensors (44-58).

Abstract: The present invention relates to healthy lifestyle management. In particular to a device for priming a person (10), comprising a detector (2) for detecting when the person (10) expresses or should express a predetermined behavior, a stimulus unit (4) for providing the person (10) with a sensory stimulus (14, 16, 21), and a control unit (3) for controlling said stimulus unit (4) to provide the person (10) with a sensory stimulus (14, 16, 21) when it has been detected that the person expresses a predetermined behavior and to provide the same person (10) with the same sensory stimulus (14, 16, 21) when it has been detected that the person (10) expresses or should express said predetermined behavior. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for priming a person and a computer program for carrying out said method.

Abstract: An illumination system is provided comprising a light source and a controller and being configured to provide an illumination signal (15) for, when perceived by a mammalian, in particular human, subject, inducing relaxing in the subject. The signal comprises a plurality of light pulses (17) having a pulse duration (T17) and being separated by inter-pulse intervals (19). The light pulses are grouped in stimuli (21) which have a stimulus duration (T21) and are separated by inter-stimuli intervals (23). The stimuli are grouped in stimulation sequences (25) which have a stimulation sequence duration (T25) and are separated by inter-sequence intervals (27). An illumination signal, a method, and a computer program product are also provided.
