  • Patent number: 10665337
    Abstract: A system including a range of motion, quality of sleep, overall, and control modules. The range of motion module, prior to a procedure being performed on a patient, determines a first range of motion score of the patient based on a first signal generated by a sensor. The quality of sleep module, prior to the procedure being performed on the patient, determines a first quality of sleep score or a first pain score based on the first signal. The overall module determines a combined score based on the first range of motion score and the first quality of sleep score or the first pain score. The control module compares the combined score to a predetermined threshold and predicts an outcome of the procedure based on the comparison. The control module, based on the combined score, determines whether to perform the procedure, adjust the procedure or refrain from performing the procedure.

  • Patent number: 10650364
    Abstract: In a method for advanced identification of a customer, a customer may remotely place an order, intending to later go to a store to pick up the ordered item. The store may have a pick-up area (e.g., at the back of the store) where the customer can go to pick up the ordered item. To save the customer time, the customer may be identified when she enters the store so that an employee can obtain her ordered item and have it ready to pick up by the time the customer walks through the store and arrives at the pick-up area. To identify the customer, an initiation device may transmit a first signal that causes the customer's mobile electronic device to respond by transmitting a second signal, which may be utilized to generate a notification in the pick-up area notifying an employee to obtain the ordered item for pick-up.

  • Patent number: 10600502
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for over the counter statin delivery to a subject. Survey results from the subject are run against a first plurality of filters. When a filter in the first plurality of filters is fired, the subject is deemed not qualified. The survey results are also run against a second plurality of filters. When a respective filter in the second plurality is fired, the subject is provided with a corresponding warning. The method proceeds to a fulfillment process when no filter in the first plurality fires and the subject has acknowledged each warning associated with each fired filter in the second plurality. The fulfillment stores the composition order, communicates a drug facts label for the statin to the subject, and authorizes, upon subject confirmation that the label has been read, provision of the statin to the subject, the authorization including a destination associated with the subject.
