  • Publication number: 20210110899
    Abstract: A method of monitoring symptoms of a person includes repeating, over a period of time, the steps of: selecting, by the person, one or more symbolic representations corresponding to one or more symptoms from a predefined set of symbolic representations presented to the person; and electronically recording data regarding the one or more symbolic representations selected by the person such that the data is electronically accessible later for generating a history of the symptoms of the person over the period of time. The data is transferred over virtual networks using virtual dispersive routing and stored in dispersive storage area networks (SANs). The data is classified as trusted, corrupted, invalid or uncertain, and/or as trusted, ambiguous and inadequate.

  • Publication number: 20190355271
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods of health reporting are disclosed that enhance decision support and provide alerts when health deterioration or the need for intervention has been detected. Embodiments utilize combined pictorial representations (including physical, mental, and social health determinants) as an avatar or pictogram, comparing health status to a general or target population, and using different methods to represent and reinforce health status. The apparatus, systems, and methods further enable individuals to access their own medical records in a way that can be understood by them and therefore is more widely accessible. The invention enhances health reporting, improving utility, usability and desirability of health reporting tools.

  • Publication number: 20180295120
    Abstract: A method for granting access by a user to a computerized system includes first authenticating the user based on initial user authentication information and, every time upon a successful authentication: establishing a session, during which the user is granted the access to the computerized system; saving a resultant based on session-limited user authentication information; and using the saved resultant, during the established session, for authenticating the user for granting subsequent access by the user during the established session based on subsequent user authentication information that is manually entered. The subsequent access may include access following a period of inactivity by the user, or the subsequent access may include access to a sensitive area of the computerized system that is more secure than other areas of the computerized system to which access is granted upon the initial authentication.

  • Publication number: 20180262503
    Abstract: A user generates a single session passcode after a normal authentication has been used to access a system. This single session passcode thereafter is used to re-authenticate the user during the session without requiring the repeated use of the normal authentication. Such re-authentication may occur, for example, upon a timeout event, or when the user attempts to access resources, data, or areas within the system that are more secure than other resources, data, or areas within the system that are accessible following the start of the session.

  • Publication number: 20170325778
    Abstract: A method of correlating sonic activity with electric activity in an entity of interest includes interrogating, via a sonic sensor device, the physical structure, shape and/or form of an object in the entity of interest, interrogating, via an electric field sensor, the electric and/or magnetic potential associated with the object or the physical displacement of the geo-electric field by the object while avoiding resistive contact with other portions of the entity of interest, and linking results from the sonic sensor device to results from the electric field sensor.
