Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a system and method for monitoring the heart rate of a user. In particular various embodiments relate to a system comprising an input unit, a time measurement unit, a heart rate sensor, a processing unit and an output unit. The processing unit determines at least one of three different time periods, the first below, the second inside and the third above a single heart rate range defined by the user.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments are related to systems and methods for ordering self-care behaviors according to an exemplary embodiment described herein. One embodiment relates to a method comprising receiving a desired outcome for a patient having a condition; retrieving information relating to a plurality of self-care behaviors; generating, from the information and the desired outcome, a population-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors; receiving a self-care behavior assessment for the patient; and generating, from the self-care behavior assessment and the population-specific ordered list, a patient-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors.

Abstract: A healthcare support system and healthcare support method for scheduling a clinical visit of a patient are presented. The healthcare support system comprises a processor and a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium contains instructions for execution by the processor, wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform the steps of obtaining clinical patient data descriptive of a clinical condition of the patient, obtaining psycho-social-assessment data of the patient, and scheduling a clinical visit for the patient based on said clinical patient data and said psycho-social-assessment data. Further, the present invention relates to a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium and a computer program. The proposed system assists in determining the need of a clinical visit, the urgency of a clinical visit and the nature of this visit in terms of required procedures and tests, topics to be discussed and professionals to be seen.

Abstract: There is provided a baby monitoring system comprising a baby unit and a parent unit, the baby unit being for use in the vicinity of a baby or child, the baby unit detecting noise and transmitting a corresponding stream of audio samples to the parent unit, the parent unit comprising a visual indicator; and a processor for analyzing the stream of audio samples to determine a noise history and for providing a first control signal to the visual indicator such that the visual indicator provides a visual indication of the noise history.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of generating a personalized exercise program for a user. Fitness related data indicating an initial physical fitness shape of the user are acquired from the user and used for constructing a fitness proposal for the user. The constructing includes comparing the acquired fitness related data with reference fitness data for corresponding fitness categories, where the reference fitness data are selected in accordance to the acquired fitness related data and indicate a reference fitness shape for the user. A deviation indicator is determined for each of the categories indicating the deviation between the acquired fitness related data and the reference data within the same fitness category. The deviation indicators are subsequently presented to the user so as to indicate the initial physical fitness shape of the user compared to the reference fitness shape for each of the categories.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for creating a care plan for a patient, the method comprising the steps of (a) receiving an intervention goal, (b) creating a behavioral determinants list using the intervention goal, (c) assigning a ranking to each behavioral determinant in the list of behavioral determinates using patient data descriptive of the patient, (d) receiving a subset of the behavioral determinant list, wherein the subset is determined by using the ranking of each behavioral determinant in the list of behavioral determinates; and (f) creating the care plan using the subset.

Abstract: The invention relates to a navigational unit 10 and a navigational device 50 for providing suggestions for switching mode of transportation. This may be used e.g. for suggesting car drivers to park at a reasonable distance of their destination such that the last part of their trip can be walked or cycled. By using information on a personal activity goal, performed activity, and possibly desired arrival time, a feasible and tailored suggestion can be given. In this way the time for transport and physical activity may be balanced.

Abstract: A system and a method are described for determining a stress level of a person based on the performance of the person in a game or puzzle. First, in a calibration phase the person is asked to judge his/her currently experienced stress level (120) and the person is asked to play (130) a game or puzzle resulting in a certain performance score. Subsequently in this calibration phase, the system links (150) the indicated stress level and the performance score. By repeating these steps a number of times, the system builds a table linking game performance scores and stress levels. The calibration phase will be executed initially and once every while to keep the system calibrated. Subsequently, in an operational phase, the person is occasionally asked (220) to play a game. Then, based on the current performance score and on the table assembled in the calibration phase, the system determines (250) the current stress level.
