Disclosed herein are kits, devices and methods for promoting, supporting and enhancing olfactory function. The kits of the present disclosure relate to devices for stimulating olfactory function that include odorous pods selected from a group of odors or more than one group of odors, whereby each odorous pod is located in a compartment of a receptacle that can be used to promote, support and enhance an individual's olfactory function. The kits of the present disclosure can also include instructional methods for using such devices to promote, support and enhance olfactory function, diagnosing or evaluating olfactory function in a subject or treating and improving olfactory function in a subject.

The present invention relates to a stimulus information compiling method for tests, characterized in that, the stimulus information compiling method comprises the following steps: selecting and using stimulus information which follows a statistics-normal distribution and is analyzed and measured by validity to form a stimulus information database (Q); reasonably setting at least one stimulus information to be a test including at least one test sequence, for a subject to make a selection according to his or her personal interests; comparing a test score of the subject with that of a valid sample person in a normal distribution model, thereby confirming the distribution of the subject in each cognitive dimension. The present invention compares a test score of the subject with that of a valid sample person in a normal distribution model, thereby confirming the test result of the subject.

A system and method for collecting symptomatic data to screen for a targeted disease. Testing hardware incorporates a plurality of testing units with corresponding indicators that can be altered to indicate whether a symptom is present or not. The resulting data from the testing use can then be analyzed to determine the likelihood of presence of a disease.

A system for monitoring neural activity of a living subject is provided. The system may comprise a correspondence module configured to be in communication with (1) a neural module and (2) one or more additional modules comprising a sensing module, another neural module, and/or a data storage module. The neural module(s) are configured to collect neural data indicative of perceptions experienced by the living subject. The sensing module may be configured to collect (1) sensor data indicative of real-world information about an environment around the living subject, and/or (2) sensor data indicative of a physical state or physiological state of the living subject. The data storage module may be configured to store prior neural data and/or prior sensor data. The correspondence module may be configured to measure a correspondence (a) between the neural data collected by the neural module(s) and the sensor data collected by the sensing module, (b) between the neural data collected by two or more neural modules, and/or (c) between the neural data collected by the neural module(s) and the prior data stored in data storage module. The measured correspondence can be used to determine a presence, absence, or extent of a potential cognitive or physiological disturbance of the living subject.

An electronic memory is configured to store pre-recorded neurostimulation data comprising patterns of stimulation of a specified region of a subject's brain developed to recreate a response by one or more of a sensing organ or sensing organs, a vestibular system, and a memory of the subject. A focused ultrasound transducer arrangement is operably coupled to the electronic memory and comprises an array of ultrasound transducers. The focused ultrasound transducer arrangement is configured to deliver transcranial stimulation to the specified region of a person's brain using the pre-recorded neurostimulation data to recreate the response by one or more of the sensing organ or sensing organs, the vestibular system, and the memory of the subject. A support structure is configured for placement on or about a person's head. The support structure is configured to support at least the focused ultrasound transducer arrangement.

Intelligent aromatherapy using sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, and a dispenser which diffuses a programmable mixture consisting of a precise combination of a plurality of scents optimized to stimulate or alleviate specific physical or mental conditions. Analysis, diagnosis, prescription, and aromatherapy tailoring are implemented by measuring and deducing the physical state of the subject and tailoring the aromatherapy to mitigate problems identified in the detection phase. Continuous biometric feedback can further provide additional information on the subject's response to the aromatherapy and further tailor the therapy to provide the desired effect.

An easily manageable device and a method used as an early warning system would be desirable. The device should be usable at virtually any location and operable with little proficiency, and it should be sterilizable, resource-saving and inexpensive. This is achieved by the following: an attachment for the head of a person, the attachment coupled to a first control unit (T) and comprising electrodes (E.sub.1 to E.sub.4) for receiving cerebral electrical activity or brain potentials, wherein the electrodes lead to the first control unit (T). The first control unit (T) has a microprocessor which is capable of recording signals from the electrodes (E.sub.1 to E.sub.4) in a time-related manner via an analog-to-digital converter. The first control unit (T) is coupled to or actuates an actuator element (A.sub.1), which is capable of releasing (LDZ.sub.1) a fragrance in pulses as a stimulus in a flow from at least one pressurized cartridge (K.sub.1). The signals of the electrodes (E.sub.1 to E.sub.4) have an EEG signal level in order to record (FIG. 5, FIG. 6) a group of chemosensorically-evoked potentials or at least the chemosensorically-influenced temporal sections thereof in a time-related manner and to analyze them - preferably not on the human head.

An attachment unit of the biological information management system includes a body temperature measurement unit that measures a body temperature of a subject on an underarm portion and a body water measurement unit that measures body water of the subject on the underarm portion, and the body temperature measurement unit and the body water measurement unit of the attachment unit are attached to the underarm portion. The biological information transmission unit sends the body temperature of the subject measured by the body temperature measurement unit and the body water of the subject measured by the body water measurement unit to a determination unit, and the determination unit outputs a determination result of whether or not there is a possibility that the subject develops infection or heatstroke based on information of the body temperature and body water of the subject sent from the biological information transmission unit.

An apparatus for performing chemosensory disorder testing includes an application for installation on a mobile computing device. The application includes a set of instructions to receive a scanning signal from a scanner communicating with the mobile computing device, the scanning signal including a unique identifier. The application next identifies a predetermined scent responsive to the scanning signal. The application generates multiple choice display for display on a display screen associated with the mobile computing device, the multiple-choice display includes an indication associated with the identified predetermined scent and at least one indication associated with another scent. The application receives a test response input from the display screen responsive to an input from a test subject attempting to detect the predetermined scent.
