Abstract: An interactive guide that guides a user (e.g., a patient, family member, caregiver, or anyone else with the permission of the patient) from an initial diagnosis (e.g., back pain), prognosis, surgery (if elected), rehabilitation, to long-term care after treatment. The guide can provide personalized guidance and information to the user based on information provided by the user, either through surveys or one or more sensors, to provide personalized predictive information to the user. The guide also allows a collaborative effort between the patient and the caregiver to make the best decisions regarding treatment for the patient.

Abstract: The system and method for biometric safe blood donor certification and geo-location system provides a safe blood donor biometric certification and geolocation tracking system that is an efficient, accurate, and portable device to acquire biometric data to authenticate identity of an individual and link the biometric identity to the blood test samples and results. This technology can unequivocally identify the person with their blood profile. The technology can track location of potential donor individuals with geo-location Global Positioning Satellite sensors and alert these individuals when a nearby patient requests their blood type. All eligible blood donors can be alerted about the opportunity to respond and accept the invitation for blood donation. Those who donate blood are removed from the eligibility list until they can safely donate again. This system eliminates the need for complex equipment and facilities to store donated blood for extended periods and eliminates waste of unused blood.
