Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method includes providing first item rating scores for items associated with stored item data. The items are arranged in an initial item taxonomy that includes a first item assigned to a first initial item category. The system receives additional item data associated with the first item and transmits the data to a machine learning (ML) execution tool used to identify an applicable computer model. The system retrieves the item data and processes it using the computer model. The system revises the initial item taxonomy to create a revised item taxonomy including a new item category. The system reassigns the item to the new item category and generates one or more achievement requirements for all of the items. The system determines achievement point values for the achievement requirements for each item and calculates a second item rating score based on the achievement point values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing predictive diagnostics for mental health diagnosing by utilizing quantitative electroencephalography measurements of an individual to diagnose or assist in the diagnosis of a neurological or mental disease state for that individual. The diagnosed mental state can then be treated utilizing individualized transcranial magnetic stimulation, which balances deficits in the brain whether caused by organic damage, physical damage, or emotional/trauma damage. The individualized transcranial magnetic stimulation repairs these areas of the brain with customized protocols unique to the patient's brain based upon the quantitative electroencephalography measurements made during the diagnosis.
