Measuring Health Parameter Using Tissue Recovery Time
1 Jan 20
An oral care device (10) assesses a health parameter of gingival tissue of a user by means of a force-generating module (52) to apply a momentary force to the gingival tissue by applying a burst of compressed air or a burst of liquid to the gingival tissue, a sensor (28) to obtain a plurality of optical signals from the gingival tissue over time after the momentary force has been applied, a controller (30) to quantify, based at least in part on an analysis of the plurality of optical signals, the health parameter (e.g. inflammation of the gingival tissue), wherein the health parameter is based at least in part on an amount of time the gingival tissue takes to recover to the application of force; and a feedback module (46) to provide information to the user regarding the quantified health parameter.

Utility
Unobtrusive Health Analysis
1 Jan 20
A method of estimating a ventilation rate in a room, the method comprising receiving a signal indicative of a concentration of at least one Volatile organic compound (VOC(t)) inside the room; processing the signal to detect at least one increase from an initial level (VOC(t0)) of the concentration of the at least one volatile organic compound; detect a corresponding maximum level of the concentration from the initial level; detecting when the concentration of the volatile organic compound returns towards the initial level or a steady state level (VOCss) from the corresponding maximum level; and determining the ventilation rate (k) based on the rate at which the concentration of the at least one Volatile organic compound returns towards the initial level or the steady state level from the corresponding maximum level.
