Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring, inter alter, administration compliance, test subject identity, and results quality of computer-administered tests. A test administration unit, an audio-visual data collection unit, and an audio-visual data processing unit are configured to detect testing anomaly events within the testing environment by analyzing audiovisual data from the test subject and environment itself. Disclosed methods include modifying or amending test results because of detected testing anomaly events within the testing environment, verifying the identity of the test subject, and monitoring for compliance with test-administration protocols. Additional methods disclosed include: user facial analysis, including gaze point analysis, for indirect detection of testing anomaly events; user verification using facial recognition, voice recognition, retinal scans, and or other audiovisual biometric protocols; and the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to collect biometrically-verified actigraphy data, comprising: obtaining and processing a subject's measured biometric input from a biometric sensor to generate a current biometric signature of the subject; verifying the subject's identity by comparing the current biometric signature to one previously obtained from a database and evaluating a proximity metric of the current biometric signature of the subject to the previously obtained biometric signature from the database; if the subject passes identity verification, obtaining actigraphy data from an actigraphy sensor worn by the subject; at one or more times while obtaining the actigraphy data, repeating the steps of obtaining and processing a subject's measured biometric input from a biometric sensor to generate a current biometric signature of the subject, and verifying the identity of the subject to ensure that the identity of the subject passes the identity verification at the one or more times.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a waking system that wakes an individual gradually over a period of time in order to promote the wellness of that individual. The user sets the system controller with a desired final wakeup time, which is the time that the user must be awake. When the actual time reaches a stimulus introduction time (i.e. some time prior to the desired final wakeup time), the system controller causes the introduction of stimulus. The system further comprises a detection system that measures a parameter correlated to the individual's sleep level (preferably motion). This measured parameter is then used in a feedback loop to control the level of stimulus experienced by the individual. In this manner, the user is woken gradually over a period of time between the stimulus introduction time and the desired final wakeup time, without introducing any sudden shocks to the user's physiological systems.
