  • Publication number: 20210259596
    Abstract: A smart oximetry method, a system thereof and a method for assessing a cardiovascular function based on a blood oxygen state involve acquiring a hemoglobin parameter of a brain tissue of a subject measured using non-intrusive optical detection; calculating monitoring parameters according to the hemoglobin parameter; entering the monitoring parameters into a linear or non-linear prediction system; assessing a blood oxygen state of the subject according to a preset threshold; and assessing a cardiovascular function of the subject according to the blood oxygen state.

  • Patent number: 9675515
    Abstract: A mobility aid with rehabilitative and guiding functions includes a main body, a processing unit, a guiding module, a detection module, an inertia sensor, a recording module, and an electricity module. A rehabilitation and guiding method includes the steps of: A) constantly projecting a visible light beam to a next-step position of the mobility aid; B) moving the mobility aid to its next-step position under the guidance of the visible light beam; C) constantly emitting an ultrasonic wave to a next-step position of at least one of the user's feet to define a detection area; D) detecting whether the foot is moved into the detection area; E) recording the moving process of any of the steps A through D and notifying a remote device of the moving process; and F) detecting any of the steps A through D and, if an abnormal condition occurs, sending out a warning message.

  • Patent number: 9140596
    Abstract: A method for detecting abnormal state of medical container contains steps of: enabling a weight detecting unit to detect weight of a medical container which is coupled with a patient to acquire content change data; enabling an inclination detecting unit to detect inclination state of the medical container to acquire inclination data; receiving the content change data and the inclination data by a controlling unit; and comparing the content change data and the inclination data with preset content data and initial inclination data respectively, such that when the content change data is different from the preset content data, a warning unit is started by the controlling unit; or when the inclination data is different from the initial inclination data, the warning unit is started by the controlling unit. In addition, a device for detecting abnormal state of the medical container matches is used to execute above-mentioned steps.

  • Publication number: 20130289434
    Abstract: A device is for measuring and analyzing electromyography signals obtained from a target body part that is divided into an unhealthy-side muscle group and a healthy-side muscle group, and includes an unhealthy-side measuring electrode unit to be disposed on the unhealthy-side muscle group for measuring an electromyography signal therefrom so as to generate unhealthy-side measured data, a healthy-side measuring electrode unit to be disposed on the healthy-side muscle group for measuring an electromyography signal therefrom so as to generate healthy-side measured data, and a control unit determining a correlation between the unhealthy-side measured data and the healthy-side measured data.
