Abstract: A system for managing a set of participants includes a coach-participant interface including a dashboard and optionally a participant dashboard. A method for managing a set of participants includes: collecting a set of inputs associated with a set of one or more participants; for each of the set of participants, determining a set of one or more scores associated with the participant based on the set of inputs; and organizing the set of participants based on the scores.

Abstract: A method for assessing the quality of a coach includes collecting information; determining a set of metrics based on the information; and determining a coach quality based on the set of metrics. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: determining a set of one or more outcomes key drivers (OKDs) associated with success of a participant and/or the health program; determining a set of models associated with the set of one or more OKDs; for each of the set of coaches, determining a baseline quality associated with the coach; producing an output and/or triggering an action based on the coach quality; and/or any other suitable processes.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for collimation of x-ray beams. According to various embodiments, an x-ray apparatus may comprise an x-ray source, a first rotatable disk comprising a first plurality of angled slots, and a first shutter comprising a first plurality of protruding members. At least one of the first plurality of protruding members may be positioned within a first angled slot of the first plurality of angled slots, and at least one of the first plurality of protruding members may be positioned within a second angled slot of the first plurality of angled slots. The first shutter may at least partially define an x-ray collimation aperture, and the apparatus may be configured such that rotation of the first rotatable disk results in movement of the first shutter to alter a size of the x-ray collimation aperture. The x-ray apparatus may also be configured to be handheld.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a distance indication using an x-ray apparatus. According to various embodiments, an x-ray apparatus may be provided comprising an x-ray generator and a visible light generator. The apparatus may further comprise a projection member, such as a reticle, comprising a material at least partially transparent to visible light, wherein the projection member comprises an image positioned within the path of the visible light so as to project a secondary image comprising a shadow defined by the image. A LASER configured to deliver a LASER beam at an angle relative to the visible light may be provided such that the LASER beam intersects at least a portion of the secondary image at a predetermined distance from the LASER to allow a user to determine precisely a distance from the apparatus to an object to be exposed to x-ray radiation.
