Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for managing the collection of and access to behavior assessment data. In an embodiment, a first user having authority to act on behalf of an individual under study identifies a second and third user role, specifies behavior data, symptom measurement data, and/or medicine regimen data associated with the individual under study, and defines access permissions for the second and third user roles with respect to the behavior data and symptom measurement data. The symptoms and behaviors to be measured are specified based on a condition of the individual. Users provide behavior data and symptom measurement data observed from the individual. An analytics module performs computational analysis on the behavior data and symptom measurement data, thereby producing behavior assessment data. A reporting module presents the behavior assessment data to the users in a manner consistent with the defined access permissions.

Abstract: Scaffold-supported metal or pseudometallic film covers suitable for use as medical devices are disclosed together with methods of fabricating the devices. Methods for making the medical devices consist of either providing or forming a scaffold, then depositing a metallic or pseudometallic film cover onto the scaffold in such a manner as to form an integral, substantially monolithic junction between the deposited cover material and the scaffold.

Abstract: A metallic or pseudometallic covered stent in which the stent component and the cover component are each fabricated of biocompatible metallic or pseudometallic materials, in which the cover and the stent are joined by at least one juncture at each of a proximal and distal end of the stent and the cover. A method of joining the stent and the cover is also disclosed.
