Abstract: This document describes automated nursing assessments. Automation of the nursing assessment involves a nursing-assessment device that makes determinations of a person's mood, physical state, psychosocial state, and neurological state. To determine a mood and physical state of a person, video of the person is captured while the person is positioned in front of an everyday object, such as a mirror. The captured video is then processed according to human condition recognition techniques, which produces indications of the person's mood and physical state, such as whether the person is happy, sad, healthy, sick, vital signs, and so on. In addition to mood and physical state, the person's psychosocial and neurological state are also determined. To do so, questions are asked of the person. These questions are determined from a plurality of psychosocial and neurological state assessment questions, which include queries regarding how the person feels, what the person has been doing, and so on.

Abstract: An educational repository that can be made accessible to a structure-definer user (e.g., a teacher, web-page developer or editor). The structure definer can search or browse the repository to identify a subset of the content objects to include within a structure. An interface can allow the structure definer to specify inter-object relationships to include within a structure (e.g., such that a first object is to be presented to a learner prior to presentation of a second object). The structure that the structure definer generates can thus be used to determine which content objects are to be made available to learners (e.g., students, web-page visitors, readers or a structure definer herself) generally or at a given time. In this way, a structure definer can define a learning sequence that extends beyond just a general outline and controls actual object presentation.
