  • Patent number: 9205256
    Abstract: A method of reducing pain includes first identifying a muscle; then identify a related pair of Nocipoints on the identified muscle; and applying electrical stimulation to the pair If required, the method may further comprise identifying additional pairs of Nocipoints and applying electrical stimulation to them. The stimulation should be from about 1.5 to 3.5 minutes.

  • Publication number: 20080275727
    Abstract: A system includes a recommendation engine, product database and interface. The recommendation engine determines one or more recommended product clusters from the product database based on a request for a healthcare product recommendation based on a symptom. The interface, which is communicatively coupled to the engine, displays the one or more recommended product clusters. The product clusters are organized based on at least one common attribute, such as active ingredient.

  • Publication number: 20080266130
    Abstract: A kiosk comprises: a motion sensor; electronics; and a speaker. The motion sensor senses a customer adjacent to the kiosk. The electronics, which are communicatively coupled to the sensor, determine if the customer has lingered by the kiosk for a period of time. The speaker, which is communicatively coupled to the electronics, emits an aural greeting if it is determined that the customer has not lingered.

  • Patent number: 6874085
    Abstract: A medical record is partitioned into personal and medical data portions, and an identification code is concatenated into each portion. The personal data portion is encrypted so a patient's identity cannot be linked to the patient's medical data except by authorized viewers. Each portion of the secure medical record can be transferred over a network as separate files, and stored in a data storage system separately. Access to the entire medical record is thereby provided only to those who know the key for the personal data portion of the medical record. The system and method can be used to help ensure patient confidentiality while allowing patient medical records to be accessed over a network such as the Internet, providing physicians and patients quick access to their medical records. The system and method can be used to create a database of anonymous medical records useful for medical research.
