Publication number: 20260130474Abstract: An adjustable watch clasp and a method of using thereof are disclosed. The adjustable watch clasp may have a first clasp section and a second clasp section. The first clasp section may be part of a suspension system that actively adjusts the spacing between the first clasp section and an adjacent watch band link to provide needed spacing when a user is wearing a watch band with the adjustable watch clasp. The active adjustment may be needed for when the user wearing the watch band jerks or accelerates his or her wrist and the first clasp section and the adjacent link need to expand away from each other to create spacing for the tightness of the watch band to not bother the user. The second clasp section may have a micro-adjuster mechanism that allows the user to manually adjust the tightness of the watch band having the second clasp section.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2024Publication date: May 14, 2026Inventors: Jayson De Castro, Albert Lai

Publication number: 20250342967Abstract: An analytics computing device is provided. The analytics computing device includes a processor in communication with a database. The database configured to store electronic health record (EHR) data including structured EHR data and unstructured EHR data for a patient. The processor is configured to retrieve the EHR data from the database. The processor is further configured to parse, using a natural language processing model, the unstructured EHR data to retrieve one or more indicator phrases, the one or more indicator phrases correlated to an Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. The processor is further configured to identify, using a predictive model, the patient as being at risk for AD based on the retrieved indicator phrases and on the structured EHR data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2023Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Inez OH, Nupur GHOSHAL, Aditi GUPTA, Albert LAI, Philip PAYNE, Suzanne SCHINDLER
