Abstract: Triggering information that defines conditions for presenting a virtual clinical exam may be downloaded to a user device. The user device may collect sensor data and use the sensor data to evaluate the conditions. When certain conditions are fulfilled, the user device may present the virtual clinical exam at the user device.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for automatically identifying emotional states of a person in real-time based on physiological responses by exposing a person to a stimulus, measuring the person's physiological response to the stimulus, and comparing the measured physiological response to a known baseline physiological. The deviation of the measured physiological response from the baseline physiological response is determinative of the emotional state.

Abstract: A health-state detection system configured to receive medical measurement data for one or more patients; a care manager interface for communicating with care managers; a user interface for receiving rules related to each type of medical measurement data; processors for parametrize the rules to generate a set of parameterized rules that define shifts, drifts and trends in the medical measurement data, determine a baseline for each type of medical measurement data, execute the parameterized rules for newly received medical measurement data against the baseline to detect shifts, drifts or trends in the medical measurement data, determine the magnitudes and directions of the detected shifts, drifts or trends, correlate the magnitudes and directions of the shifts, drifts, or trends detected with changes in the health state of one or more patients, and provide customizable notifications, alerts to care managers based at least in the past on the detected health state changes.

Abstract: This invention provides methods for non-invasively monitoring patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and for reporting and/or warning of changes in the patients' status. The methods gather physiological data and combine the data into parameters by which the severity of CHF can be judged. Preferred parameters include periodic breathing and heart rate variability. This invention also provides systems for carrying out these methods which permit patients to engage in their normal daily activities. Preferably, physiological data analysis is performed by a portable electronic unit carried by the patients.

Abstract: This invention provides monitoring garments for non-invasively monitoring physiological parameters in un-restrained and/or restrained animals, such as monkeys, rabbits, dogs, horses, and the like. The invention also includes methods and systems for collecting and processing monitoring data and methods for recognizing apneas and other respiratory events, periods of restfulness and wakefulness, stereotypical behavior and other indicators of dysphoric states, periods of emesis, and occurrence of barking and coughing.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for monitoring subjects, especially during sleep. Respiratory and sound data are recorded and coughs arousal are recognized as joint events in both of these signals having selected characteristics. Further, cough-arousal events during sleep are recognized when a likely cough occurs in association with a recognized EEG arousal. Cough arousal events are combined into a cough arousal index that reflects disease severity and sleep disruption due to cough. The methods of this invention are computer-implemented and can be provided as a program product including a computer readable medium. Measurements and indices provided by this invention can be used to monitor and to treat respiratory diseases.
