PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
A non-transitory computer-readable program, an information device, and an information processing method that causes a computer processor to execute a process that includes: receiving an input of a voice from a subject; converting the input voice into a text; detecting an abnormal point from the text; and displaying the text indicating a character string corresponding to the abnormal point in a display mode different from display modes of other character strings on a display unit when the abnormal point is detected. An input of a voice of a message with respect to a chat group in which a plurality of users including the subject participate is received from the subject, and the message is converted into the text.
EVALUATION DEVICE, EVALUATION METHOD AND EVALUATION PROGRAM
An evaluation device includes an image data acquisition unit that acquires image data on eyeballs of a subject, a point-of-gaze detector that detects positional data on a point of gaze of the subject based on the image data, a display controller that causes a display unit to display a plurality of routes that connect a start point and an end point and a plurality of target subjects that are arranged along the routes, an area setting unit that sets a route area corresponding to each of the routes and a target area corresponding to each of the target subjects on the display unit, a determination unit that determines whether a point of view of the subject is present in the route area and the target area based on the positional data on the point of gaze, and an evaluation unit.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NON-INVASIVE CONDITION DETECTION USING AN ALL FIBER PORTABLE TERAHERTZ IMAGING SYSTEM
Method and apparatus for non-invasive condition detection using an all fiber portable terahertz imaging system. An imaging system of the present disclosure may comprise a control module comprising a femtosecond pulsed laser configured to generate an output light beam, a dispersion compensation unit configured to receive the output light beam and transmit a laser light beam generated based upon the output light beam, a beam splitter configured to receive the laser light beam and divide the laser light beam into a pump light beam and a reference light beam; and a rapid scanning optical delay line configured to receive the pump light beam and transmit an exit light beam generated based upon the pump light beam, a patch probe comprising a transmitter module, an optics lens, and a detector module.
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.
Device, method and program for identification of projection targets
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technique whereby multiple projection targets are efficiently identified from multiple neurons in multiple brain areas with the use of multis-point light stimulation. An acquisition unit 52 acquires spike signals generated from multiple neurons existing in the vicinity of two or more recording sites. A stimulation control unit 51 selects one projection target candidate from two or more candidates in accordance with a definite system on the basis of the spike signals and then determines irradiation timing of light stimulation. Upon the light stimulation, a management unit 53 acquires the spike signals in all of the recording sites within a definite period of time before or after the light stimulation, while dividing the spike signals into anti responses and collision responses. An anti response management unit 81 acquires and manages information relating to the anti responses. A collision response management unit 82 acquires and manages information relating to the collision responses. A priority control section 54 corrects and determines priority depending on the anti response information and the collision response information.
Eye movement in response to visual stimuli for assessment of ophthalmic and neurological conditions
The present invention generally relates to apparatus, software and methods for assessing ocular, ophthalmic, neurological, physiological, psychological and/or behavioral conditions. As disclosed herein, the conditions are assessed using eye-tracking technology that beneficially eliminates the need for a subject to fixate and maintain focus during testing or to produce a secondary (non-optical) physical movement or audible response, i.e., feedback. The subject is only required to look at a series of individual visual stimuli, which is generally an involuntary reaction. The reduced need for cognitive and/or physical involvement of a subject allows the present modalities to achieve greater accuracy, due to reduced human error, and to be used with a wide variety of subjects, including small children, patients with physical disabilities or injuries, patients with diminished mental capacity, elderly patients, animals, etc.
COMPUTER ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
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.
System and method for patient movement detection and fall monitoring
A system and method for patient movement detection and fall monitoring to address the need to proactively monitor patients to detect abnormal movements, in-room activity, and other movements associated with providing in-room care. The system comprises an environmental model which can be used to track the position and movement of a patient and a classifier network configured to receive movement data and classify a patient's movement as normal or abnormal movement. In addition to monitoring in-room activity, the system and method create safe zones within the room to ensure patients are proactively monitor in the event of a seizure, fall, or other unintended activity. The system will record and store in-room video in a secure environment. Videos and notifications are automatically sent to designated staff as events occur.
AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR EVALUATION AND MODIFICATION OF NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING VISUAL PROCESSING AND PERCEPTION CONDITIONS
In some embodiments, a display system comprising a head-mountable, augmented reality display is configured to perform a neurological analysis and to provide a perception aid based on an environmental trigger associated with the neurological condition. Performing the neurological analysis may include determining a reaction to a stimulus by receiving data from the one or more inwardly-directed sensors; and identifying a neurological condition associated with the reaction. In some embodiments, the perception aid may include a reminder, an alert, or virtual content that changes a property, e.g. a color, of a real object. The augmented reality display may be configured to display virtual content by outputting light with variable wavefront divergence, and to provide an accommodation-vergence mismatch of less than 0.5 diopters, including less than 0.25 diopters.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF SCREENING AND MONITORING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE USING THE KING-DEVICK TEST
A method and system of screening and monitoring a person for Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Lewy Body Dementia (Dementia) using the King-Devick Test are provided including providing a visual display and a timing device; displaying on the visual display one or more series of symbols arranged in a pattern; providing an indication to the person being screened to begin reading aloud the symbols arranged in the pattern; capturing with the timing device the completion time to read the one or more series of symbols arranged in the pattern; comparing the completion time with a baseline time to complete reading the one or more series of symbols; and determining whether the person has an “abnormal” result based on comparing the completion time with the baseline time.
