Systems and methods for improving behavioral therapies encompassing therapies wherein a perceptual stimulus is administered to a subject or a motor behavior is performed by the subject. Such administration of perceptual stimuli or motor performance is paired with the delivery of vagus nerve stimulation to the subject. The vagus nerve stimulation is timed with the sensory stimulus administration or motor performance in a temporal alignment that maximizes neuroplasticity and performance. Systems for performance of the method and associated software are also disclosed

Systems and methods for objectively assessing physical performance of a subject and generating programs specifically tailored to correct any physical deficiencies identified during that assessment. Generally, the assessments may produce results in binary format so that the assessments may be conducted objectively. Additionally, the recommended exercise programs may be generated based on the results of those assessments so that the recommended exercise programs target the identified physical deficiencies.

A medical device operation training apparatus, used in performing training for operation of a medical device, includes: an affected-area simulated organ holding unit configured to hold a sheet-like affected-area simulated organ able to be incised or excised at least in part; and a path simulated organ holding unit configured to hold a path simulated organ for guiding the medical device to the affected-area simulated organ. With this apparatus, trainees can train for various manipulations with simple preparatory operations.

A method of acclimating a patient to a therapy and a system for carrying out such method. The method includes providing the patient with an initial step of a therapy set up program for the patient to perform and determining at least one step metric. The at least one step metric determined is: a stress level of the patient while performing the initial step, successful completion of the initial step, the time needed to complete the initial step, and/or the quantity of errors made while carrying out the initial step. The method further includes determining a subsequent step for the patient to perform immediately after the initial step based on the at least one step metric and providing the patient with the subsequent step.

A resettable injection training device for simulating an injection is provided in an embodiment herein. The device may include an outer housing, a safety shield having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end for engaging with a target surface during an injection simulation, the safety shield comprising a retracted position, an extended unlocked position and an extended locked position, a plunger; and a locking tab for interfacing with the safety shield for interfacing with the safety shield the extended locked position, wherein if the safety shield distal end disengages from the target surface during an injection simulation, the safety shield extends to the extended, locked position until the device is reset.

A method for determining the location and installation techniques of accessibility features that employs a photo-documentation quality control function to ensure compliance with the norms associated specifically with the client, the type of accessibility feature, and the existing structure that accessibility feature is to be installed into.

Techniques are provided that employ haptic feedback to influence an engagement level of a remote user. One method comprises obtaining sensor data associated with a remote user interacting with educational content items; applying the sensor data to an analytics engine to obtain an engagement status indicating an engagement level of the remote user with the educational content items; and automatically initiating a provision of a haptic feedback signal to the remote user based on the engagement status. The engagement status may comprise an engagement score, and the haptic feedback signal may be sent to the remote user based on an evaluation of the engagement score relative to one or more threshold-based criteria. A type and/or an intensity of the haptic feedback signal can be based on one or more user preferences of the remote user.
