The invention relates to a method of screening a fragrance or a flavouring using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess the ability of said fragrance or flavouring to elicit a “well-being” effect.

A kit of two compositions comprising the same odorants in mixtures of different proportions is used for the measurement of olfactory discrimination capacity in subjects affected by a psychiatric disorder or disease involving mood disturbance, more particularly mood depression.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for geofencing and location tracking for predicting and limiting disease exposure. In some implementations, location tracking data is received indicating locations of user devices over time. Location tags specifying visits of the user devices to different locations indicated by the location tracking data are defined. A geofence is assigned to each of the location tags to specify a geofenced area corresponding to the location tag. Disease transmission scores are assigned to first location tags representing visits of a first user. A disease exposure score is determined for a second user whose user device is determined, based on the location tracking data, to have entered at least one of the geofenced areas corresponding to the first location tags.

An apparatus, module, methods and systems for automated, standardized assessment and analysis of a human olfactory system's odor detection ability as an indicator or predictor of cognitive impairment or change in cognitive health, and other health conditions such as diabetes. Notably, the present invention is operable for use across all age groups of humans and provides quantitative detection and analysis of a human olfactory system's detection ability compared to a relevant demographic population.

The invention relates to a processing unit, a system, and a computer-implemented method for a vehicle interior, for detecting and reacting to odors of a vehicle occupant.

A system and method for collecting symptomatic data to screen for a targeted disease. Testing hardware incorporates a plurality of testing units with corresponding indicators that can be altered to indicate whether a symptom is present or not. The resulting data from the testing use can then be analyzed to determine the likelihood of presence of a disease.

A diagnosis system and method for detecting various Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in a biological sample by utilizing a smart platform configured to harness animal bio-sensors trained to detect various VOC's which may indicate various pathologies, and by conducting various data collection practices and analysis methods in order to produce output results. The diagnosis system and method is configured to analyze behavioral parameters concerning the animal bio-sensor and provide a non-invasive and safe diagnostic solution that does not involve exposing a patient to radiation or any other potentially harmful procedure.

A method for characterizing an olfactory stimulation, including visual stimulation steps each associated with a theme and first steps of recording physiological variables carried out continuously during a first visual stimulation step, so as to obtain first physiological recordings, each first physiological recording being associated with the theme associated with the first visual stimulation step, a second olfactory stimulation step, a second step of recording values of physiological variables carried out continuously during and after the second olfactory stimulation step to obtain a second physiological recording, a step of comparing the first physiological recordings with the second physiological recording to isolate a first physiological recording close to the second physiological recording, and a step of determining a theme associated with the first physiological recording which is isolated during the comparing step.

It is provided method for communicating olfactory content. The method is performed in an olfactory device and comprises the steps of: obtaining olfactory content to be rendered at a recipient device; identifying an olfactory state at the recipient device; determining an adjustment of at least one olfactory component, based on the identified olfactory state, to render the olfactory content; and triggering the recipient device to perform the adjustment of at least one olfactory component.

A method of screening a pupil of a subject to determine whether the pupil reflex resembles a canonical pupil reflex is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of stimulating the pupil with a stimulus source, such as a pupilometer and determining whether one of various pupillary response conditions is met.
