Abstract: A technique for dynamic generation of a therapeutic derivative story includes obtaining attribute data that describes characteristics of a content consumer along with situational details describing an emotional situation involving the content consumer. A relatability score for the therapeutic derivative story is determined. A content data structure (CDS) is selected. The CDS specifies story elements of a preexisting story. The story elements are associated with metadata constraints that constrain modification or use of the story elements. The metadata constraints indicate whether associated ones of the story elements are mutable story elements. One or more of the mutable story elements are adapted based on the attribute data or the situational details as constrained by the metadata constraints and to an extent determined at least in part by the relatability score to generate the therapeutic derivative story.

Abstract: A mixed reality (MR) training system includes an identification algorithm (ML1) that identifies incidents of concern (IOCs) based on an incident report data set and related contextual data. Each IOC occurs in the data set with a frequency at least equal to a pre-determined threshold or the resulting consequence is at least equal to a different pre-determined threshold. The system also includes a prediction algorithm (ML2) configured to identify predicted changes in the frequency or contextual data of incidents, an experience generation algorithm (ML3) configured to generate an MR training experience based on IOCs identified by ML1 and the predictions of ML2. A fourth algorithm (ML4) tailors and optimizes MR generated training experiences based, in part, on (i) changes in the incident report data or contextual data or (ii) performance data or biometric response data received during or after a user's interaction with the MR training experience.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a student understanding cognitive assessment computing system for assessing a student's understanding of a subject or topic of a course based on the quality of questions prepared by the student. Responsive to the student completing a review of a portion of course content, the student is prompted to generate a set of questions associated with a topic associated with the portion of the course content. For each question generated by the student, a comprehension score is determined based the question's content and intent; and, responsive to the comprehension score being at or above a predetermined acceptance level and at or above a predetermined decisive level, an answer is generated to the question. Responsive to the student assessing each answer to each question in the set of questions, a final understanding score value is established for the set of questions.

Abstract: A gastrointestinal simulator system includes a thermoregulated bath, two glass beakers situated within the thermoregulated water bath, and a pump. The beakers simulate the stomach and intestines and are coupled together using a tube. A sieve, positioned within the “stomach,” has a plurality of 2 mm holes on its surface to mimic in vivo conditions, where only particles smaller than 2 mm in diameter are transferred to the “intestines.” These collected particles move from “stomach” (specifically, from the sieve) to the “intestines” through the tube coupling the beakers. Cameras may be located inside the water bath for monitoring/recording of the digestion. Alerts, such as voice alerts, may be generated to notify users of any important information and instructions. After digestion, reports of the digestion are automatically generated and stored in a data repository. One or more users are notified that the reports are available for access.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses provide a tool for use by drivers and/or coaches throughout the pre-license stage of obtaining a driver's license. A pre-license program may control a computing device to collect drive data while a driver is driving a vehicle. This drive data may be used to detect a drive event. Then, the computing device may present coaching information associated with the detected drive event. The coaching information may provide a passenger, such as a coach or parent, with real-time advice for instructing the driver how to improve his/her driving skills. Moreover, the drive data collected may be used to prepare reports providing feedback to the drivers and coaches. Further, the pre-license program may determine an expected track for a driver to follow to prepare for a driver's license test and may indicate whether the driver is on or off the track.
