  • Patent number: 11475987
    Abstract: Techniques are described for a non-invasive detection of a health condition of an organ. In an example, the electrical conductivity of the organ reflects the organ's health of. An inductive damping sensor can be used to detect the organ's electrical conductivity and, thus, its health. The inductive damping sensor can be placed in proximity of the organ such as the organ is within the magnetic field generated based on a coil of the inductive damping sensor. The conductivity of the organ impacts the inductance and the resistance of the coil. Hence, the inductance and/or resistance of the coil can be measured, where the measurements can be associated with the health of the organ.

  • Patent number: 11443843
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable treating a medical condition via individual customized cognitive guidance. More specifically, a current interactive and customized diagnosis object (ICDO) comprising a treatment schedule for a patient is generated by combining a set of previous ICDOs from the patient, wherein each ICDO has a structure which defines elements that are used to diagnose a symptom and match the patient with a treatment. A status of the patient is monitored in real time via an internet of things network to detect an actual event of the patient differing from the treatment schedule. In real time, the treatment schedule is modified responsive to the differing event by adjusting the current ICDO by exchanging one element of the treatment plan for a new element according to a learned set of rules to compensate for the differing event. This modified treatment schedule is provided to the patient in real time.
