Patient depression state e.g. Beck depression state, detecting system for use by doctor, has program memory with program to compare walking parameters with threshold values, and another program emitting signals based on comparison result

摘要

The system has a data memory (203) for storing threshold values (K1, K2, K3) and walking parameters e.g. usual walking speeds (Viu) and rapid walking speeds (Vir), of an individual measured using a sensor (206) and for storing variation (delta) between the walking parameters. A transmitting unit (202) transmits an audio signal and/or visual signals. A program memory (204) comprises a program (P10) to compare the parameters with threshold values, and another program (P11) for emitting the signals based on the comparison result. An independent claim is also included for a method for emitting a signal relative to motivation capacity of a subject.
