SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING COGNITIVE DISEASES AND IMPAIRMENTS IN HUMANS
Systems and methods for detecting a cognitive diseases and/or impairments in humans are disclosed. The method may include providing a saliva sample from a human subject, and subjecting at least a portion of the saliva sample to a spectroscopic analysis to produce a sample spectroscopic signature. The method may also include analyzing the produced sample spectroscopic signature using a predetermined statistical model. The predetermined statistical model may be based on spectroscopic signatures for a plurality modeling samples, and the spectroscopic signatures for each of the plurality of modeling samples may be associated with one of a plurality of predetermined cognitive categories. Additionally, the method may include correlating the produced sample spectroscopic signature with one of the plurality of predetermined cognitive categories based on the spectroscopic signatures for each of the plurality of modeling samples of the predetermined statistical model.
Non-invasive assessment of glymphatic flow and neurodegeneration from a wearable device
A computer-implemented method and system includes accessing neurophysiological and neurovascular data recorded during sleep. A function mapping is executed from said neurophysiological and neurovascular data to a target that is one of a glymphatic flow marker, a molecular analysis marker of neurodegeneration, or a neuroimaging marker of neurodegeneration. A target prediction model is output based on the function mapping. The target prediction model can receive new neurophysiological and neurovascular data and output a predicted marker of neurodegeneration.
NEURAL STIMULATION VIA VISUAL STIMULATION
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for treating cognitive dysfunction in a subject in need thereof. The system can include eyeglasses, a photodiode positioned to detect ambient light, light sources, and an input device. The system can include a neural stimulation system that retrieves a profile and selects a light pattern having a fixed parameter and a variable parameter. The neural stimulation system can set a value of the variable parameter of the light pattern, construct an output signal, and then provide the output signal to the light sources to direct light towards the fovea.

A cognitive function evaluation device includes: an obtainment unit configured to obtain, as gait data, at least one of first data and second data, the first data indicating a sway amount of a body of a subject during walking in a first walking section from start of walking of the subject to a predetermined number of steps, and the second data indicating a sway amount of the body of the subject during walking in a second walking section in a double task state in which the subject is walking while doing a given assignment, the second walking section being after the first walking section; a calculation unit configured to calculate a feature value based on the gait data; an evaluation unit configured to evaluate a cognitive function of the subject, based on the feature value; and an output unit configured to output a result of evaluation by the evaluation unit.
Cognitive function evaluation method, cognitive function evaluation device, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which cognitive function evaluation program is recorded
A cognitive function evaluation method in a cognitive function evaluation device that evaluates a cognitive function based on a walking motion of a subject includes: acquiring walking data related to walking of the subject; detecting, from the walking data, at least one of an angle of an ankle joint of one foot and an angle of a knee joint of one leg of the subject; and determining a cognitive function level of the subject using at least one of the angle of the ankle joint and the angle of the knee joint.
Macro/micro-structure of sleep and similar states of consciousness to optimize pain treatment
An apparatus and method for employing the macro- and micro-structure of sleep and similar states of consciousness to optimize pain-treatment are disclosed wherein an objective biomarker of pain-related sleep disturbance guides pain treatment from a sleep perspective. Furthermore, this concept can be extended to states of reduced consciousness such as coma or sedation. Additionally, it could be applied on individuals who are non-communicative due to injury, disease, language issues and/or infancy.
Sensory-motor generation of therapeutic musical tracks
The present invention is directed to devices and methods for rhythmic therapy. A system streams a patient specific audio file to a patient for therapy or rehabilitation while the patient is performing an exercise, where the audio comprises a musical track selected from a library of musical tracks, and simultaneously playing a second audio file with a motivational message, for example, and further where the tempo of the track, or the selection of the tracks are changed based on data received from sensors and determining if the patient is improving or regressing.
