Abstract: There are described herein methods and apparatus for processing a physical signal, in particular for processing data obtained in relation to the physical characteristics of a user, in particular a female user. One or more sensors can be used to obtain the data, in particular indwelling thermometers, aural thermometers, blood pressure and heart rate monitors. There are also described herein methods and apparatus for analysing and further processing the data to obtain and provide health information in relation to the user, in particular in relation to the user's fertility or state of ovulation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining at least one representative temperature value for a female human user for an extended period includes receiving at least a first, second and third plurality of temperature measurements obtained from a female human user during at least first, second and third respective extended periods, wherein each extended period includes at least one hour and wherein the start of each extended period is separated by at least 8 hours. At least one representative temperature value is calculated for the second extended period. The representative temperature value is calculated using at least one first temperature value obtained from a plurality of measurements taken during the first extended period, at least one second temperature value obtained from a plurality of measurements taken during the second extended period and at least one third temperature value obtained from a plurality of measurements taken during the third extended period.

Abstract: A method for combining an anatomic structure and metabolic activity for an object is described. The method includes acquiring a first set of images by scanning the object using a first modality, acquiring a second set of images by scanning the object using a second modality, fusing the first and second sets of images to form a fused volume, identifying a region of interest (ROI) in the fused volume, the ROI corresponding to an organ of interest of the object, and providing a viewing path through the fused volume at least partially following the ROI.
