Abstract: System, methods and electronic devices aimed at motivating users to perform physical activity are disclosed herein. A user may be presented with a series of physical and cognitive exercises. For example, an exercise may be locked until completion of an unlocked exercise. Performance in each exercise may be tracked to display feedback to a user and track the user's improvement over time. Physical exercises may comprise challenges to move a particular distance or take a particular number of steps. Cognitive exercises comprise techniques test or train the cognitive abilities of the user in: attention, memory, processing speed, logical reasoning, numerical reasoning, spatial reasoning, verbal reasoning, language, and cognitive executive functions. Performance in one exercise may modify the difficulty or parameters of a subsequent exercise. The tracking of user improvement may comprise a progress or reward system such as the increasing of a user's “level” or awarding of “badges.

Abstract: We present, in exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a system combining anatomical imaging technologies (e.g., MR) with optical technologies. The system can be used for a variety of applications, including, but not limited to, (1) cancer diagnosis and staging; (2) image guidance; and (3) radiation therapy planning. Image guidance may include guiding a biopsy. For example, a prostatectomy potentially has severe side effects, such as impotence and incontinence. Thus, a histologically-confirmed diagnosis, such as one provided from a biopsy, may prevent unnecessary prostatectomy. Image guidance may also include guiding minimal invasive therapy, such as brachytherapy focused ultrasound. The present invention may be used to plan radiation therapy, for example, by detecting, and thus sparing, healthy tissue from radiation exposure.
