A linear, quadratic, interaction, stepwise interaction, or another regression model may be generated. The regression model may estimate the MGC as a function of one or more parameters measured by or derived from the inertial sensor data. The regression model may be used to calculate an estimate of the MGC based on inertial sensor data collected from one or more individuals.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: CARE INNOVATIONS, LLCInventor: Barry R.

Patent number: 9426156Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for provisioning a new user to a cloud-based system through a pre-registration process where the cloud-based system generates a tokenized resource identifier based on the user's registration information provided by an external service provider and through a registration process where the user accesses the cloud-based system using the tokenized resource identifier and the cloud-based system completes the registration of the user when the user's registration information in the cloud-based system is verified against the corresponding registration information maintained by the external service provider. Once the registration is complete, data related to the registered user may be synchronized between the cloud-based system and the external service provider.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: CARE INNOVATIONS, LLCInventors: Kevin Hebert, Jason Smith, David Martin, Jason Furgison

Patent number: 9165113Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for quantifying an individual's frailty level based on inertial sensor data collected from the individual. The quantified frailty level may correspond to and approximate clinical metrics of frailty, such as the Fried frailty index. A linear regression model may be used to output the quantitative frailty value based on input parameters from the inertial sensor data. The linear regression model may be initially generated from the clinically-measured frailty index values of individuals and inertial sensor data collected from them. The inertial sensor data may be collected during, for example, a timed up and go (TUG) test. Two logistic regression models may be used to output a frailty class based on input parameters from the inertial sensor data. A first logistic regression model may distinguish between robust and frail individuals. A second logistic regression model may distinguish between robust and pre-frail individuals.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: INTEL-GE CARE INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Barry R.

Patent number: 9128111Abstract: A system and method of processing one or more sensor logs includes receiving a sensor log an identifying a set of entries in the sensor log having a predefined sequence of sensor identifiers. The set of entries may define a velocity event. The method can also provide for calculating an in-home gait velocity for the velocity event. In one example, the method also provides for identifying another set of entries in the sensor log having a sensor identifier that corresponds to a dwell sensor mounted in a doorway, wherein the other set of entries define a dwell event. The method may also provide for calculating an in-home dwell time for the dwell event.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2014Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: INTEL-GE CARE INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Barry R.

Patent number: 9092554Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for reminding users with declining cognitive abilities that remote assistance from a caregiver is available and for providing a simplified way of requesting the assistance. The assistance may be provided through a videoconference on a patient assistance apparatus, which may comprise a screen, speaker, and microphone. The apparatus may remind the user when the user is present at or near the apparatus, which may be detected through a motion or proximity sensor. When the user is near, the apparatus may output an assistance inquiry message which proactively asks whether the user needs assistance. The apparatus may then receive a verbal or other form of inputted response. Based on the user's response, the apparatus may initiate a videoconference with the remote caregiver. The apparatus may also output a message inquiring whether the user is present, which may allow a remote caregiver to initiate a videoconference.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: INTEL-GE CARE INNOVATIONS LLCInventor: Michael Labhard
