METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMAGING A BIOLOGICAL TISSUE

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for imaging a biological tissue. A monochromatic image of the biological tissue is obtained. A texture analysis of the biological tissue is performed using spatial information of the monochromatic image to identity features of the biological tissue. A texture image is generated based on the features of the biological tissue. The biological tissue of the subject is classified as normal or abnormal at least in part based on a comparison between first order statistics of the texture image and predetermined values.

System, methods and electronic devices aimed at motivating users to perform physical activity are disclosed herein. A user may be presented with a series of physical and cognitive exercises. For example, an exercise may be locked until completion of an unlocked exercise. Performance in each exercise may be tracked to display feedback to a user and track the user's improvement over time. Physical exercises may comprise challenges to move a particular distance or take a particular number of steps. Cognitive exercises comprise techniques test or train the cognitive abilities of the user in: attention, memory, processing speed, logical reasoning, numerical reasoning, spatial reasoning, verbal reasoning, language, and cognitive executive functions. Performance in one exercise may modify the difficulty or parameters of a subsequent exercise. The tracking of user improvement may comprise a progress or reward system such as the increasing of a user's “level” or awarding of “badges.”

PLATFORM AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
20210174919 · 2021-06-10 ·

The digital personalized medicine system uses digital data to assess or diagnose symptoms of a subject to provide personalized or more appropriate therapeutic interventions and improved diagnoses. The use of prioritized questions and answers with associated feature importance can be used to assess mental function and allow a subject to be diagnosed with fewer questions, such that diagnosis can be repeated more often and allow the dosage to be adjusted more frequently. Pharmacokinetics of the subject can be estimated based on demographic data and biomarkers or measured, in order to determine a treatment plan for the subject. Also, biomarkers can be used to determine when the patient may be at risk for experiencing undesirable side effects and the treatment plan adjusted accordingly.

A cognitive function evaluation device includes: an obtainment unit that obtains utterance data indicating a voice of an evaluatee uttering a sentence as instructed; a calculation unit that calculates, from the utterance data obtained by the obtainment unit, a feature based on the utterance data; an evaluation unit that compares the feature calculated by the calculation unit to reference data indicating a relationship between voice data indicating a voice of a person and a cognitive function of the person to evaluate the cognitive function of the evaluatee; and an output unit that outputs the sentence to be uttered by the evaluatee and outputs a result of evaluation by the evaluation unit.

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.
