Abstract: A wearable device can automatically switch between modes of collecting sensor data when a docking event is detected between the wearable device and a docking device. In a first mode (e.g., when undocked), data can be collected using a first sensor configuration (e.g., a first set of sensors operating using a first set of sensing parameters). In a second mode (e.g., when docked), data can be collected using a second sensor configuration, which can include the use of one or more different sensors and/or the use of one or more different sensing parameters. The first mode may prioritize battery life, whereas the second mode may prioritize sensor data fidelity, such as by increasing sampling rates, using different sensors, and the like. Sensor data from the first and second modes can be used individually (e.g., to calibrate the other) and/or together (e.g., to determine physiological parameters).

Abstract: Systems and methods assist with managing a chronic disease of a user such as a chronic respiratory or cardiac disease. The system may include a physiological monitor adapted to be carried by the user and operative to sense a physiological parameter of the user by generating one or more signals. The system may include a management device operatively coupled with the physiological monitor to receive the signal(s) and derive the physiological parameter(s) of the user. The management device, such as with an included processor, may be configured to analyze the physiological and/or environmental parameters to detect a trigger pattern of the parameters, the trigger pattern indicative of a probable event of exacerbation of the chronic respiratory and/or cardiac condition. The management device may then generate automated responses based on the trigger pattern such as by providing instructions for activities and/or treatment for the chronic condition.

Abstract: Methods and devices provide physiological movement detection, such as gesture, breathing, cardiac and/or gross body motion, with active sound generation such as for an interactive audio device. The processor may evaluate, via a microphone coupled to the interactive audio device, a sensed audible verbal communication. The processor may control producing, via a speaker coupled to the processor, a sound signal in a user's vicinity. The processor may control sensing, via a microphone coupled to the processor, a reflected sound signal. This reflected sound signal is a reflection of the generated sound signal from the vicinity or user. The processor may process the reflected sound, such as by a demodulation technique, to derive a physiological movement signal. The processor may generate, in response to the sensed audible verbal communication, an output based on an evaluation of the derived physiological movement signal.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for monitoring a person suffering from a chronic medical condition predicts and assesses physiological changes which could affect the care of that subject. Examples of such chronic diseases include (but are not limited to) heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and diabetes. Monitoring includes measurements of respiratory movements, which can then be analyzed for evidence of changes in respiratory rate, or for events such as hypopneas, apneas and periodic breathing. Monitoring may be augmented by the measurement of nocturnal heart rate in conjunction with respiratory monitoring. Additional physiological measurements can also be taken such as subjective symptom data, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and various molecular markers. Embodiments for detection of respiratory patterns and heart rate are disclosed, together with exemplar implementations of decision processes based on these measurements.
