Abstract
A system for detecting non-verbal acoustic energy generated by a subject is provided. The system includes a sensor mountable on or in a body region of the subject, the sensor being capable of sensing the non-verbal acoustic energy; and a processing unit being capable of processing the non-verbal acoustic energy sensed by the sensor and deriving an activity related signature therefrom, thereby enabling identification of a specific activity associated with the non-verbal acoustic energy.
Claims22
A system for monitoring ingestion activity of a subject comprising:
- (a) a sensor mountable on or in a body region of the subject, said sensor being configured for mechanically sensing jaw motion by sensing tissue deformation in an ear resulting from said jaw motion;
- and
- (b) a processing unit being capable of processing said jaw motion and deriving an ingestion activity related signature therefrom, thereby monitoring the ingestion activity of the subject.
A method of monitoring ingestion activity of a subject comprising:
- (a) mechanically sensing jaw movement by sensing tissue deformation in an ear resulting from said jaw motion;
- and
- (b) processing said jaw movement and deriving an ingestion activity related signature therefrom, thereby monitoring the ingestion activity of the subject.
A device for monitoring food and/or drink consumption of a subject comprising:
- (a) a sensor configured for sensing ingestion activity of the subject from tissue deformation in an ear of the subject;
- and
- (b) at least one feedback device for providing feedback relating to said ingestion activity of the subject, wherein said feedback device is capable of modifying a type of feedback according to a change in said ingestion activity of the subject.
