GAIT-BASED ASSESSMENT OF NEURODEGENERATION
Neurodegeneration can be assessed based on a gait signature, using a machine-learning model trained on gait metrics acquired for a patient, in conjunction with cognitive test data and neuropathology information about the patient. The gait signature can be derived from gait kinematic data, e.g., as obtained with a video-based, marker-less motion capture system.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCTION OF NEUROLOGICAL MOVEMENT DISORDER SYMPTOMS USING WEARABLE DEVICE
A multimodal wearable band uses mechanical vibrations to stimulate sensory neurons in the wrist or ankle to reduce the severity of tremors, rigidity, involuntary muscle contractions, and bradykinesia caused by neurological movement disorders and to free users from freezing induced by movement disorders. The device uses sensors to provide output used by a processing unit to determine a stimulation pattern for the user and to determine when stimulation is necessary, and then uses one or more transducers to correspondingly stimulate the user's neurological pathways to lessen the severity of the user's symptoms. The device can also be adapted to integrate with third party devices.
System and method for treating various neurological disorders using synchronized nerve activation
A neuromodulation system for treatment of physiological disorders. The system includes one or more stimulators for stimulating one or more cranial nerves; one or more detectors configured for detecting a predetermined physiological state; and a control unit that controls nerve stimulation by the one or more stimulators so that it is synchronized with the at least one predetermined physiological state detected by the one or more detectors. A method of neuromodulating a patient for treatment of physiological disorder. The method includes the steps of detecting a predetermined physiological state and applying stimulation to one of the cranial nerves during the predetermined physiological state by one or more stimulators of a neuromodulation system.
Treatment of neurological functioning and conditions using computer-assisted dual-task methodology
A system and method for targeted treatment of human brain function using a combination of physical and mental activity to cause neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in targeted regions of the brain using computer-enhanced dual-task analysis and treatment. The system and method involve having a subject engage in physical and mental activities at levels of intensity or stress associated with increased neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, the mental activities being associated with certain brain regions intended to be targeted by the treatment, wherein the physical and mental activities are assigned based on dual-task analyses of the subject's brain function and machine learning algorithms trained to optimize the stress levels associated with the physical and mental activities to maximize neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. The physical and mental activities may be continuously adjusted to ensure that the subject remains in appropriate ranges for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity for the brain region or regions being targeted for treatment.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING A MOTOR SKILLS NEUROLOGICAL TEST USING AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY
System and methods for performing a motor skills neurological test using augmented reality which provides an objective assessment of the results of the test. A virtual target is displayed to a user in an AR field of view of an AR system at a target location. The movement of a body part (e.g., a finger) of a user is tracked as the user moves the body part from a starting location to the target location. A total traveled distance of the body part in moving from the starting location to the target location is determined based on the tracking. A linear distance between the starting location and the target location is determined. An efficiency index is then determined which represents an overall quality of movement of the body part from the starting location to the target location based on the total traveled distance and the linear distance.
