  • Publication number: 20240177730
    Abstract: Approaches for transcribing, translating, reviewing, tagging, and providing analytics for therapist sessions are provided. A media file that captures one or more interactions between one or more providers and a recipient of a service may be obtained. A transcript of at least a portion of the one or more interactions captured in the audio file may be generated. Using machine learning, a plurality of analytics may be inferred based, at least in part, upon content contained in the transcript. One or more biomarkers for the recipient may be determined based, at least in part, upon the plurality of analytics. A predicted response to the service to provide for display may be generated based, at least in part, upon the one or more biomarkers and the plurality of analytics.

  • Publication number: 20240145065
    Abstract: Approaches for providing a real time bioadaptive stimulus environment with audio, visual, and olfactory components to enhance psychedelic therapy are provided. A virtual bioadaptive environment may be provided for experience by a user. Sensor data associated with the user may be received. The sensor data may be analyzed using at least one machine learning model to determine changes to a user state. Based at least in part upon the analyzed sensor data, modifications to be made to the virtual bioadaptive environment may be determined. A modified virtual bioadaptive environment may be provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 9127107
    Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous amphiphilic emulsion copolymer compositions comprising one or more aqueous phase copolymer, a residue of one or more hydrophilic chain transfer agent, and a residue of one or more hydrophobic chain transfer agent, as well as methods of making such copolymers in water or an aqueous liquid by copolymerizing a monomer component of from 20 to 80 wt. %, based on the weight of the monomer component, of a hydrophilic group-containing monomer and the remainder of a copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer or prepolymer in the presence of a mixed chain transfer agent component comprising a hydrophilic chain transfer agent, such as 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and a hydrophobic chain transfer agent, such as N-dodecyl mercaptan. The aqueous amphiphilic emulsion copolymers of the present invention are storage stable and exhibit excellent viscosity control even in high solids compositions, e.g. from 50 to 80 wt. % of the composition.
