  • Publication number: 20120179486
    Abstract: The present invention discloses methods, computer program and system to overcome the limitation of the current clinical practice. This is achieved by using information technology and the vast amount of epidemiological data available to create algorithms that calculate the risk or severity profile of an individual with any given disease. The individual profile presents the current condition and/or position of the individual in comparison with the mean base curve of the total population and in accordance with upper and lower risk limits. The individual profile is then fitted with its optimal use of healthcare resources, such as medication, surgery, laser treatment, surveillance and follow-up, to optimize and individualize the health outcome of this individual, and at the same time optimize and individualize the allocation of healthcare resources within the system.

  • Publication number: 20060057549
    Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method of biofeedback training for attaining a physiological state optimally consistent with the successful performance of a task, wherein the probability of successfully completing the task is made is inversely proportional to a physiological difference value, computed as the absolute value of the difference between at least one physiological signal optimally consistent with the successful performance of the task and at least one corresponding measured physiological signal of a trainee performing the task. The probability of successfully completing the task is made inversely proportional to the physiological difference value by making one or more measurable physical attributes of the environment in which the task is performed, and upon which completion of the task depends, vary in inverse proportion to the physiological difference value.
