  • Patent number: 11903680
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein involve a wearable-based system that can help determine in a privacy-preserving manner whether a user is healthy (and thus poses low risk of contagiousness), and use determinations of this nature to grant passage through a doorway. In one embodiment, a wearable device takes measurements of a user comprising a photoplethysmogram signal (PPG signal) and a temperature measurement. A computer calculates a health score based on a difference between baseline measurements of the user, measured one or more days earlier, and more current measurements of the user. Additionally, the computer calculates an extent of similarity between characteristics of the PPG signal in the current measurements and characteristics of the PPG signal in the baseline measurements. The computer authorizes the user's passage through the doorway responsive to the health score reaching a first threshold and the extent of the similarity reaching a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 11899839
    Abstract: Described is a system for multimodal machine-aided comprehension analysis. The system can be implemented in an augmented reality headset that, in conjunction with a processor, generates an initial scene graph of a scene proximate the user. Items and labels are presented, with the headset tracking eye movements of the user as the user gazes upon the subject labels, item labels, and relationship labels. A resulting scene graph (having relationship triplets) is generated based on the eye movements of the user and an amount of time the user spends gazing upon each of the display components. A comprehension model is generated by estimating a user's comprehension of the relationship triplets, with a knowledge model being generated based on a known knowledge graph and the comprehension model. Cues are then presented to the user based on the comprehension and knowledge models to assist the user in their comprehension of the scene.

  • Patent number: 11883177
    Abstract: Lactate threshold device (LTD) assists subjects in improving athletic performance and maximizing calorie burn. LTD digitizes the electrocardiogram (ECG) obtained from a chest belt with a first signal analyzer, and telemeters the ECG to a second signal analyzer. LTD uses a novel algorithm to convert the telemetered ECG from the time to frequency domain, utilizing a digital signal processing method called fast fourier transform based spectral analysis. LTD determines whether lactate threshold (LT) has been reached, and furthermore calculates heart rate, heart rate variability, and heart rate and power zones. LTD displays the determined variables on a local or remote display. Subject using LTD obtains feedback during a real-time exercise regimen in the field that has aerobic (below LT) and anaerobic (above LT) zones. By utilizing an exercise program with aerobic and anaerobic zones, both sprint and endurance fitness levels are improved, and weight loss potential is maximized.

  • Patent number: 11813043
    Abstract: The present invention provides a non-contact vital sign monitoring which properly detect subject's vital signs by correcting the measured signals for reflectance and variations in distance between measurements. The present invention provides for adequate sensor numbers and types to properly monitor a subject's vitals and physiological signals. Certain aspects of the invention include the use of signal scoring methods. In such embodiments, acquired data and/or information is used for scoring a signal acquired from non-contact vital monitoring assisting in the accurate measurement of various vitals of a subject, including, without limit, a subjects temperature, cardiovascular and respiratory information. The present invention provides a viable solution for at-a-distance non-contact vital sign monitoring that overcomes the shortcomings of existing solutions known in the art.

  • Patent number: 11793409
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the early detection of invalidating states of persons, such as a postoperative bleeding of a patient for example, in particular secondary bleeding after organ surgery, comprising a detector unit (30) for continuously detecting multiple selected parameters. The detector unit has sensors (14, 16, 18), a computing unit, an interface and an analysis logic which evaluates the probability of the presence of a health anomaly, such as the probability of postoperative bleeding for example, on the basis of the present parameter states. Additionally, a display device (40) is provided by means of which the evaluation is displayed. The pressure in the postoperative organ compartment and/or a parameter which represents the expansion of the section of the skin adjoining the organ compartment is selected as the selected parameter.

  • Patent number: 11797623
    Abstract: A method for generating a microapp recommendation comprises receiving, at a client computing device, microapp metadata that characterizes multiple microapps. The method further comprises using a resource access application executing at the client computing device to launch a networked application that displays a user interface. The method further comprises calculating a composite correlation score for a particular microapp. The composite correlation score quantifies correlation between functionality provided by the user interface of the networked application and functionality provided by the particular microapp. The method further comprises using the composite correlation score to make a determination with respect to whether the particular microapp should be recommended to a user of the client computing device.
