  • Patent number: 10839950
    Abstract: The digital personalized medicine system uses digital data to assess or diagnose symptoms of a subject to provide personalized or more appropriate therapeutic interventions and improved diagnoses. The use of prioritized questions and answers with associated feature importance can be used to assess mental function and allow a subject to be diagnosed with fewer questions, such that diagnosis can be repeated more often and allow the dosage to be adjusted more frequently. Pharmacokinetics of the subject can be estimated based on demographic data and biomarkers or measured, in order to determine a treatment plan for the subject. Also, biomarkers can be used to determine when the patient may be at risk for experiencing undesirable side effects and the treatment plan adjusted accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20190088366
    Abstract: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein provide digital diagnostics and digital therapeutics to patients. The digital personalized medicine system uses digital data to assess or diagnose symptoms of a patient, and feedback from the patient response to treatment is considered to update the personalized therapeutic interventions.

  • Publication number: 20190043618
    Abstract: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein can evaluate a subject for a developmental condition or conditions and provide improved sensitivity and specificity for categorical determinations indicating the presence or absence of the developmental condition by isolating hard-to-screen cases as inconclusive. The methods and apparatus disclosed herein can be configured to be tunable to control the tradeoff between coverage and reliability and to adapt to different application settings and can further be specialized to handle different population groups.

  • Publication number: 20170266249
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for providing control over a subject's body, include methods and compositions for enhancing the ability of a subject's body to lose weight, or for inducing weight loss in the subject's body. Such methods and compositions may induce thermogenesis in the adipocytes of a subject's body, enhancing the subject's metabolism, inhibit adipogenesis in adipocytes of the individual, and reduce the subject's cravings for food, the subject's appetite and/or the amount of food consumed by the subject. Such a composition may include African mango (Irvinia gabonensis) seed extract, citrus fruits extract from Citrus aurantium, Citrus sinensis, and/or Citrus paradisi (standardized to 5% synephrine and 80% bioflavonoids), Coleus forskholi root extract, and a source of dihydrocapsiate. The composition may be administered with a protein supplement, such as a whey protein supplement (e.g., a hydrolyzed whey protein supplement).

  • Publication number: 20170069216
    Abstract: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein can diagnose or identify a subject as at risk of having one or more developmental disorders with fewer questions, decreased amounts of time, and determine a plurality of developmental disorders, and provide clinically acceptable sensitivity and specificity in a clinical environment. The methods and apparatus disclosed herein can be configured to diagnose or determine the subject as at risk of a developmental disorder among a plurality of developmental disorders, and decreasing the number of questions presented can be particularly helpful where a subject presents with a plurality of possible developmental disorders. A processor can be configured with instructions to identify a most predictive next question, such that a person can be diagnosed or identified as at risk with fewer questions.

  • Publication number: 20100297663
    Abstract: A method for non-invasively assessing a subject's health includes evaluating a state of a subject's immune response. Such a method may include obtaining a salivary sample from the subject and assaying the salivary sample for IgA. The state of a component of the subject's immunity may be evaluated in conjunction with the administration of one or more substances known to elicit a cell-mediated immune response to the subject to determine the effect of the one or more substances on the subject's humoral, or antibody-mediated, immune response. Assay methods may also be used to optimize the dosage of an immune support component to be administered to a particular subject. Systems that include assays for evaluating the state of a subject's immune response and nutraceuticals are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080081076
    Abstract: Compositions that include extracts from sources of immune modulators that include nanofraction immune modulator molecules (i.e., molecules having molecular weights of about 3,000 Da and less) are disclosed. These compositions may also include other immune modulators, such as transfer factor. Administration of compositions with extracts that include nanofraction immune modulator molecules modulates the cell-mediated immunity (e.g., down-regulates undesired T cell activity) of a subject to which such compositions are administered. When administered with transfer factor, the combination of nanofraction immune modulator molecules and transfer factor down-regulates undesired T cell activity while increasing, or up-regulating, T cell activity against pathogens and other undesirable entities, such as cancer cells and other aberrant or mutated cells. Assays and assay techniques for evaluating the immune modulation capabilities of various substances are also disclosed.
