A method and associated computer system and computer program product for monitoring the use of language of a patient that may enable the identification, analysis and reporting on of the natural progression of various neurological or speech disorders, is provided. The method includes obtaining a verbal response of the patient to a stimulus, converting the verbal response into text and the generating of verbal and textual response data by analyzing the verbal response and response text, respectively. A response vector may be formed base on the verbal and textual response data, which may then be used to determine a reply to the patient. Improved accuracy and consistency of monitoring the use of language associated with neurological and speech disorders is achieved, leading to a greater rate of success in the treatment of these conditions.

The method and system for evaluating the effect of weather, geomagnetic background and the air on the condition of a person's bodyinvolves the input of personal databy a computer device user; the determination or specification of a geolocation; the transmission of the personal data and the geolocation data, to a processing unit; the requesting of environmental forecast data from a weather server; the transmission of the forecast data; the transmission of the user and forecast data to an encoder and the generation of a single hash code; the transmission of the hash code to a decoder and the correlation with a database of dependencies of the functioning of human body systems on weather, geomagnetic background and air condition parameters; and the transmission of the correlated data to a displayand the display of information about the effect of environmental parameters on the functioning of human body systems.

A device can be used to diagnose inner ear barotrauma, and train users how to properly equalize, preventing future inner ear barotrauma. It may also be used as a method of predicting near term equalization ability, thus predicting probable success in the user's ability to tolerate rapid pressure changes, whether they be caused by air travel, mountain driving, skin and scuba diving, or other causes of rapid barometric changes.

An apparatus comprising a natural language processor, a mapper, a string comparator, a nutrient calculator, and a diet planning module, the diet planning module configured to generate a diet action control, the diet action control comprising instructions to operate the client device to perform a diet change recommendation on the client device, and apply the diet action control to the client device.

Apparatus, system, and computer readable media determine the probability of visual recognition of an image by a subject using electroencephalography (EEG) corresponding to a Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). The apparatus comprises means for presenting a series of visual stimuli corresponding to said image to evoke EEG signals. The visual stimuli of the image are presented in an orientation sequence based on a timing cycle. At least one prism is provided for placement in front of the series of visual stimuli corresponding to said image. The EEG signals evoked in response to said visual stimuli and said prism placed in front of said visual stimuli are recorded and processed by a processor. VEP is generated corresponding to the presence of a shift and thereby provides object statistic reliability of the visual recognition of the image by the subject.

A sleep aid device for a vehicle includes a sleep information setting device for setting sleep information and a target sleep time of a user, a route establishing device for establishing a route to a destination and for calculating a time required to reach the destination, a sleep mode determining device for determining whether a current mode is a sleep mode and for determining a sleep-inducing start time using the sleep information and the time required to reach the destination, a sleep mode controller for controlling an intra-vehicle device in the sleep mode at the sleep-inducing start time, a wake-up mode determining device for determining a sleep state of the user and entering a wake-up mode when the user is in a light sleep state, and a wake-up mode controller for controlling the intra-vehicle device in the wake-up mode when the wake-up mode is entered.

[Object] To provide an information processing apparatus that, in accordance with a state of a user who is experiencing a world of virtual reality or augmented reality, can cause the user to appropriately recognize the world of virtual reality or augmented reality and the real world.

[Solution] There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a feedback decision unit configured to, on a basis of a user state of a user who is experiencing a world in which information at least partially including a virtual object is provided, decide feedback for the user.

According to some embodiments, a wearable medical device capable of treating a patient presenting with syncope is provided. The wearable medical device includes a memory storing event profile information, a battery, at least one treatment electrode coupled to the battery, at least one processor coupled to the memory and the at least one treatment electrode, and an event manager executed by the at least one processor. The event manager is configured to detect an event associated with syncope; store, in the memory, data descriptive of the event in association with an indication that the data includes data descriptive of a syncopal event; and address the event.

A process for treating femoral fractures in children includes diagnosing a patient with a femoral shaft fracture and enclosing the affected limb in a splint. The process further includes scanning the unaffected limb with a three-dimensional scanner and obtaining measurements of the unaffected limb that may be used to form a brace for the affected limb. In addition, the process includes fabricating an orthosis to support the affected limb based on the scan and measurements taken of the unaffected limb, and applying the orthosis to the affected limb.

An intelligent defecation device for living creature includes a device body, a supporting portion, an image module, and a first analysis module. The supporting portion is formed within the inner side of the device body for accommodating a moisture absorption member so as to allow the living creature to leave over its excrement therein. The image module is also arranged at the device body for dynamically capturing the images of the excrement in the supporting portion and outputting the image. The first analysis module is arranged in the device body and connected with the image module to analyze and calculate the defecation mode with the image based on preset or accumulated data, so as to generate a signal when an abnormal defecation mode is diagnosed.
