In an embodiment, an apparatus (42) that provides advice on nutritional and caloric intake requirements for a child based on the child's current growth phase activity behavior and status corresponding to the child's current body mass index, the nutritional requirements determined in terms of a ratio of nutrient components that are tailored to the growth phase of the child.

A student engagement device, system and method is provided that encourages students to maintain student engagement during a classroom activity or lecture. The device may be worn by the student and include a display that displays signals received from a remote controller. The signals are generated in the remote control based on subjective observation from the teacher related to student to engagement and may be irrespective of student behavior. The system may further include a computer device accessible by the student or parent for viewing student engagement levels during a class or over a longer length of time, such as a week, month, semester, or year.

One aspect of the invention provides a method including: obtaining neural activity data for a first subject and a second subject during verbal interaction between the first subject and the second subject; and calculating coherence between the neural activity data for the first subject and the neural activity data for the second subject. Another aspect of the invention provides a non-transitory, tangible computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable program instructions for implementing the one or more of the methods described herein.

A device for obtaining physiological information including plethysmographs of a medical patient and detecting a condition of pneumonia. The portable pneumonia screening device may include one or more sensors configured to obtain physiological information. The pneumonia screener may provide for methods of selecting and interfaces to assist selecting a patient's age group. The screener may match a selected age group from a set of programmed threshold level of oxygen saturation, respiratory, pulse rate, or other physiological parameters to assist pneumonia diagnosis. The pneumonia screener may provide one or more visual and/or audio stimuli, such as an animation, sound or music. The visual and/or audio stimuli may indicate initialization, diagnostic in progress, completion, or other events or progress of events. In some embodiments, the visual and/or auditory stimuli may be used to soothe or intrigue the patient such that patient agitation is reduced during the screening process.

The present disclosure relates to a patch-type thermometer using a thermochromic ink, and particularly to, a patch-type thermometer capable of accurately measuring a body temperature even in special environments.

In some embodiments, a method of creating an automatic language characteristic recognition system. The method can include receiving a plurality of audio recordings. The method also can include segmenting each of the plurality of audio recordings to create a plurality of audio segments for each audio recording. The method additionally can include clustering each audio segment of the plurality of audio segments according to audio characteristics of each audio segment to form a plurality of audio segment clusters. Other embodiments are provided.

3D cine MR angiography systems and methods are disclosed for use during the steady state intravascular distribution phase of ferumoxytol. The 3D cine MRA technique enables improved delineation of cardiac anatomy in pediatric patients undergoing cardiovascular MRI.

A child tracking device including a wrist watch lockable onto a child's wrist in operational communication with a remote monitoring receiver unit with a liquid crystal display (hereinafter “LCD”) screen and a remote mobile device, such as a cellular phone, via a software application to continuously track a child's location and to provide an alert in the event the child strays a pre-set distance from either the remote monitoring receiver unit or the remote mobile device or leaves a designated geographical zone.

A wearable device for gait monitoring and improvement, as well as systems for sensing relevant metrics and delivering real-time sensory feedback. One system receives a baseline active training program to target a mobility abnormality; downloads it onto a wearable device; determines the activity type based on sensor data obtained from a sensor array; generates cueing intensity feedback; receives field data from the wearable device; dynamically recommends new modification parameters based on the field data; and modifies the active training program based on the new modification parameters. The system may modify cueing intensity to correct the wearer's gait by selecting ranges of values for cueing response variables for a cueing window; receiving a sample dataset from a wearable device; determining whether a number of the cycles of frames spent in a no-correction frame is increasing; adjusting the outer bounds of the no-correction frame; and adjusting the cueing window.

Provided are methods that include presenting to a subject an embodied cognitive task that includes a cognitive component and a physical component. The methods further include assessing the subject's performance on each of the cognitive component and the physical component, and adapting the difficulty level of the embodied cognitive task based on the subject's performance on each of the cognitive component and the physical component. In certain aspects, the methods find use in enhancing cognition, physical fitness, or both, in a subject. Also provided are methods of treating and diagnosing cognitive disorders. Systems and computer readable media for practicing the methods of the present disclosure are also provided.
