  • Publication number: 20250044170
    Abstract: A device may include a substrate which is configured to be stretchable and contractible and includes a major surface. A device may include a first wire and a second wire which are disposed on or in the major surface. A device may include in a plan view from a normal direction of the major surface, the substrate includes a sensing region which is configured to be stretchable and contractible in a first direction, and a first region and a second region that face each other in the first direction across the sensing region, the first wire and the second wire extend over the first region, the sensing region, and the second region; and the first wire and the second wire are electrically isolated from each other and are arranged in the sensing region at a distance from each other in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20240298958
    Abstract: A laryngeal elevation measurement device is provided that includes first and second displacement sensors and a control unit. The first displacement sensor is attachable to a neck of a test subject. The second displacement sensor 22 attachable to a site that is part of the neck of the test subject and that is located at a predetermined distance from the first displacement sensor. The control unit acquires the displacement amounts of the first and second displacement sensors. The control unit estimates positional changes of the laryngeal prominence of the test subject based on changes over time in the displacement amount of the first displacement sensor and changes over time in the displacement amount of the second displacement sensor, and the predetermined distance. The control unit outputs a result of estimation.

  • Publication number: 20230404433
    Abstract: A neck movement measuring device is provided that includes displacement sensors and a controller. The displacement sensors are formed as sheets attachable to the neck skin of a subject and measure the deformation amount. The controller receives measured values of the displacement sensors and sets a reference value based on measured values of the displacement sensor. In addition, the controller outputs the displacement amount relative to the reference value as a measurement result.
