Abstract: In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes accessing, upon authorization, behavior data that includes one or more time series of events indicating health-related behaviors of an individual; determining a behavior score for the individual based on the behavior data, the behavior score indicating the individual's latent behavior state; augmenting the behavioral score with medical data for the individual; identifying, by the computer system, a health-behavior phenotype for the individual based on a current position or trajectory of the augmented behavioral score within a latent health-behavior space that correlates the individual's augmented behavioral score with the health-behavior phenotype for the individual; assigning the individual to a particular population segment based, at least in part, on the current position or trajectory of the individual within the latent health-behavior space (i.e.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for associating location data from one or more unique sources. The place and time of a unique location enabled device are associated with stored demographic information relating to the particular place and particular time. The place and time of the unique location enabled device are associated with a historical record of past locations and time of locations that the device has been. Based on the association of demographical information and historical information, the unique location enable device is assigned to one or more groups or tribes. The location of all members of the group or tribe can be aggregated and exported for further analysis or display, thereby showing all group or tribe members at a particular time and place.

Abstract: In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to perform an experiment across a plurality of client computing devices associated with a plurality of users, the request includes criteria for users to be included in the experiment and parameters for the experiment; obtaining information for the plurality of users; selecting a subset of the plurality of users for the experiment based, at least in part, on the information; determining a minimum population size to provide at least a threshold (i) level of anonymity for participants in the experiment and (ii) power calculation for results of the experiment, wherein the minimum population size is determined based, at least in part, on the subset of the plurality of users and the parameters for the experiment; providing information that identifies the minimum population size for the experiment.

Abstract: A method of detecting an event anomaly includes receiving one or more data points, in which each data point represents a spatial or temporal event; associating a unique identifier with each of the one or more data points to obtain one or more individualized data points; distributing the one or more individualized data points across a grid, in which the grid includes one or more cells; determining an event likelihood ratio for one or more of the grid cells; identifying one or more event clusters, in which each event cluster includes one or more of the grid cells; and storing in a data repository an event cluster having a significance level above a threshold significance level.

Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods are provided for comparing, associating and deriving associations between two or more spatial temporal data trails. One or more spatial-temporal data trails comprising one or more places are received at a processor. Each place is identified by a spatial temporal data point. And each spatial-temporal data trail is associated with an individual. The similarity between pairs of places is determined to establish one or more groups of places or one or more groups of individuals. Similarity and/groups can be determined based on demographics associated with the place or individual.

Abstract: A specialized drug delivery unit for inner ear treatment which employs a portion of carrier media material containing one or more therapeutic agents therein. The carrier media material is designed to release the therapeutic agents in a controlled manner over time. The drug delivery unit is sized for placement in the round window niche of a patient. The released therapeutic agents come in contact with the round window membrane and pass therethrough into the inner ear for treatment purposes. This system provides many benefits ranging from the ability to deliver drugs in a site specific, highly controlled manner to the transfer of such materials with minimal patient discomfort and monitoring requirements.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for controlled delivery of a therapeutic agent to an internal cavity of the ear, particularly to the inner ear. In general, the invention uses a drug delivery unit for inner ear treatment which employs a portion of carrier media material containing one or more therapeutic agents therein. The carrier media material is designed to release the therapeutic agents in a controlled manner over time. The drug delivery unit is shaped and sized for placement of at least a portion thereof in the round window niche of a patient. The released therapeutic agents come in contact with the round window membrane and pass therethrough into the inner ear for treatment purposes. This system provides many benefits ranging from the ability to deliver drugs in a site specific, highly controlled manner to the transfer of such materials with minimal patient discomfort and monitoring requirements.
