An information processing apparatus includes a question output controller that selects and outputs an easier question to respond from plural questions as a time difference between a time associated with an event and an expected response time that is a time at which a respondent of a question about the event is likely to respond is larger.

A computer access control system includes a client electronic device configured to administer an alertness test to a user. A computer access controller is coupled to and configured to be actuated by the client electronic device.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for administering an alertness test on a client electronic device to determine a result for a user, wherein the result is indicative of a level of alertness of the user. A location of the client electronic device is determined, thus defining a determined location. Remedial action is taken if the level of alertness of the user is insufficient for the user to perform a task at the determined location.

A device, a system and a method for a patient attempting to quit smoking such that the program is configured to cause a computer to execute the steps of: receiving, from a patient-side electronic device, patient's understanding information indicative of the patient's understanding about a smoking-related matter, which is input by the patient, at a patient's understanding information acquisition timing decided based on at least one of an input of information indicative of a current patient's condition and smoking cessation-related health-care history information; deciding, based on the received patient's understanding information and correct response information for the smoking-related matter, whether or not the patient's understanding is incorrect; and, when decided to be incorrect, transmitting, to the patient-side electronic device, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) information based on the correct response information, wherein the CBT information includes information deemed to be correct with respect to the smoking-related matter.

Described herein are kits and methods for identifying the likelihood of having a food sensitivity or intolerance, and determining dietary modifications accordingly. For example, the likelihood of having sensitivities, intolerances or allergies to gluten, lactose, FODMAPs and others tested and calculated. Additionally, diet modifications can be determined according to the likelihood of particular sensitivities, and the effectiveness of diet modifications can be evaluated by monitoring of meals and subsequent symptoms, and evaluating the monitoring information. Through application of the methods herein, dietary intake and symptom data may be collected and aggregated to evaluate the effect or desirability of particular foods on a population of interest.

In one example embodiment of the invention, a simulation based training system is provided having a sensor that unobtrusively collects objective data for individuals and teams experiencing training content to determine the cognitive states of individuals and teams; time-synchronizes the various data streams; automatically determines granular and objective measures for individual cognitive load (CL) of individuals and teams; and automatically determines a cognitive load balance (CLB) and a relative cognitive load (RCL) measure in real or near-real time. Data is unobtrusively gathered through physiological or other activity sensors such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors. Some embodiments are further configured to also include sociometric data in the determining cognitive load. Sociometric data may be obtained through the use of sociometric badges. Some embodiments further automatically customize the simulation content by automatically selecting content based on the CL of the individuals and teams.
