Generating the multi-faceted feedback includes generating a baseline physiological sampling schedule for a user, generating a quality-aware feedback of the user, generating a user-state-aware feedback of the user, and generating a context- aware feedback of the user. An adjusted physiological sampling schedule for the user is generated based at least in part upon the multi-faceted feedback.

The first electrode is shielded from the second, and from most sources of parasitic capacitance, by a shield that is driven by an active driver that drives the shield to track, and ideally to match, the instantaneous potential of the electrode. The second electrode is likewise shielded in a similar way from most sources of parasitic capacitance. These shields likewise help to limit the extent to which RFI from the device electronics couples with either of the electrodes. In this way the sensing device achieves a markedly better signal-to-noise ratio at frequency bands of interest.

The feedback circuitry may provide a feedback signal to the current-to-voltage converter. The feedback signal, based at least in part on the output of the current-to-voltage converter during the dark periods, may cause the current-to-voltage converter to substantially exclude an ambient light component of the photocurrent. As a result, the current-to-voltage converter may employ a higher transimpedance without distorting the output voltage signal due to oversaturation, and thus may achieve a higher SNR.

Analysis of the pulse signal and pulse morphology patterns provides an in-vitro, non-invasive, and low-cost method for diagnosing diseases.

SLEEP DISTURBANCE MONITORING APPARATUS

Номер: US20130338446A1
Принадлежит: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.

The invention relates to a sleep disturbance monitoring apparatus () for monitoring a sleep disturbance of a person. An ambience disturbance profile, which describes which levels and/or changes of an ambient signal, which is, for example, a temperature signal or a noise signal, are related to disturbed sleep, is amended depending on a correlation between the ambience signal and a sleep signal which is indicative of the quality of the sleep of the person. After the ambience disturbance profile has been amended, an environmental disturbance factor, which disturbs the sleep, is determined based on a comparison of an actual ambient signal with the amended ambience disturbance profile, wherein information regarding the determined environmental disturbance factor is output to the person on an output unit. This allows providing personalized information regarding environmental sleep disturbance factors, i.e. the information considers the individual susceptibility of a person for environmental disturbances during sleep. 1. A sleep disturbance monitoring apparatus for monitoring a sleep disturbance of a person , the sleep disturbance monitoring apparatus comprising:an ambient sensor for generating an ambient signal, the ambient signal being indicative of a property of the environment of the person,an ambience disturbance profile providing unit for providing an ambience disturbance profile, the ambience disturbance profile describing which levels and/or changes of an ambient signal are related to disturbed sleep,a sleep sensor for generating a sleep signal over time, while the person is sleeping, the sleep signal being indicative of the quality of the sleep of the person over time,a correlation unit for correlating the ambient signal and the sleep signal,an ambience disturbance profile amending unit for amending the ambience disturbance profile depending on the correlation,an environmental disturbance determination unit for determining an environmental disturbance factor, ...
