  • Publication number: 20220172740
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention describe systems and techniques for producing sounds similar to a user's internal perception of the user's voice. In various embodiments, systems and methods may be disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured to receive first sound data associated with a user, determine a transformation based on the first sound data, create a novel utterance based on the first sound data and the transformation, where the novel utterance approximates an internal perception of the user's self-produced speech, and cause a speaker to output the novel utterance.

  • Patent number: 9959775
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention describe mechanisms configured to monitor, track, and manage symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). According to particular embodiments, a system includes an interface configured to present a memory test to a user and an interface configured to receive a response to the memory test. The system includes a processor that is configured to determine whether the user experienced a memory lapse based on the response to the memory test. The system further includes a computer memory configured to store data related to the memory lapse and memory ratings over time. Memory ratings and Alzheimer's disease progression ratings can be displayed using the system.

  • Patent number: 9924899
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention describe mechanisms configured to monitor, track, and manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). According to particular exemplary embodiments, a system includes sensors configured to monitor motion exhibited by a user having symptoms of Parkinson's disease, a processor configured to determine whether the motion constitutes a tremor episode, and memory configured to maintain data associated with the tremor episode, a severity rating associated with the tremor episode, and medication intake information. In exemplary embodiments, the effectiveness of a user's medication intake can be determined based on data displayed regarding severity rating variations over time in relation to medication intake.

  • Patent number: 9924900
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention describe mechanisms configured to monitor, track, and manage symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. According to particular embodiments, a system includes sensors configured to monitor repetitive motion exhibited by a user with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The sensors are connected to a processor that is configured to determine whether the repetitive motion exhibited by the user exceeds an autism episode threshold. Once the autism episode threshold has been reached, the processor can access from memory an autism episode alleviation action associated with the user. Materials associated with the autism episode alleviation action can be presented to the user through an output interface, such that presentation of these materials is configured to reduce the severity or duration of the autism episode.
