PERFORMING NEUROLOGICAL DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS
Embodiments herein disclose computer-implemented methods, computer program products and computer systems for performing neurological diagnostic assessments. The computer-implemented method may include processors configured for receiving biometric activity data corresponding to user extremity movement from a mobile device associated with a user. Further, the computer-implemented method may include processors configured for transmitting the biometric activity data to a machine learning model. Furthermore, the computer-implemented may be configured for processing, using the machine learning model, the biometric activity data to generate first model output data corresponding to a first score. Even further, the computer-implemented method may include processors configured for determining that the first model output data corresponds to a neurological disorder classification based at least on the first score exceeding a predetermined threshold.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATIC TEMPLATE-BASED DETECTION OF ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES
Systems and methods for detecting anatomical structures include, for each training subject of a plurality of training subjects, a corresponding MR image, and generating an initial anatomical template based on a first training subject of the plurality of training subjects. A computing device can map MR images of the other training subjects onto a template space by applying a global transformation followed by a local transformation. The computing device can average the mapped MR images with the initial anatomical template to generate a final anatomical template and boundaries of an anatomical structure of interest can be drawn in the final anatomical template. The computing device can fine tune the boundaries using an edge detection algorithm. The final anatomical template can be used to identify boundaries of the anatomical structure(s) of interest automatically (e g., without human intervention) in non-training subjects.
INNOVATIVE KIT THAT INCLUDES A WEARABLE FOR DETECTING, CHARACTERIZING, AND MONITORING INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT AND ATTACHABLE NON-INTRUSIVE INTERVENTIONS TO RELIEVE TREMORS IN HUMAN LIMBS
The present invention comprises a novel kit with a wearable unit along with associated intelligent entities and non-intrusive tremor relieving interventions. The interventions include an automatically controllable TENS intervention unit with associated cables and electrodes and a buzzer. The wearable unit along with associated intelligent entities detects involuntary movement signals (tremors) in the limbs by measuring the acceleration in multiple dimensions, and ingeniously analyzes the accelerations to identify and isolate occurrences of tremors. This information is analyzed and monitored over time to provide significant insight about the tremors such as the dominant frequency (or frequencies), percent time with tremor, median tremor duration, and intensity. The TENS unit provides electrical stimulation which can dampen the intensity of involuntary movement and/or temporarily suspend tremor activity. This (TENS) unit can be manually or automatically controlled. The automatic control mode controls the TENS unit depending on the onset of tremors, tremor duration, and intensity of tremors. Furthermore, the parameters of this automatic control can be adjusted.

System and method for evaluation, detection, conditioning, and treatment of neurological functioning and conditions
A system and method for evaluation, detection, conditioning, and treatment of neurological functioning and conditions which uses data obtained while a person is engaged in simultaneously in a range of primary physical tasks combined with defined types of associative activity, such as listening, reading, speaking, mathematics, logic puzzles, navigation of a virtual environment, recall of past stimuli, etc. The data from the physical and associative activities are combined to generate a composite functioning score visualization indicating the relative functioning of areas aspects of neurological functioning; including those in which deficiencies may be present, which are early indicators of possible neurological conditions. Through algorithmic recommendations combined with expert and user input, a conditioning regimen targeting neurological aspects of interest paired with periodic testing allows the user to track their progress in these areas over time.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ROBUST QUANTITATIVE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING
Exemplary quantitative susceptibility mapping methods, systems and computer-accessible medium can be provided to generate images of tissue magnetism property from complex magnetic resonance imaging data using the Bayesian inference approach, which minimizes a cost function consisting of a data fidelity term and two regularization terms. The data fidelity term is constructed directly from the complex magnetic resonance imaging data. The first prior is constructed from matching structures or information content in known morphology. The second prior is constructed from a region having an approximately homogenous and known susceptibility value and a characteristic feature on anatomic images. The quantitative susceptibility map can be determined by minimizing the cost function. Thus, according to the exemplary embodiment, system, method and computer-accessible medium can be provided for determining magnetic susceptibility information associated with at least one structure.
