Abstract: The invention includes a group of devices allowing people to indicate when and where they experience pain or discomfort, and a system and method for using this information to improve clinical medical care. The user can indicate, with the user's finger, tongue, or in other ways, where on the user's body, or in the user's mouth, the user is experiencing pain, and the pain's intensity. Some versions of the invention include models of parts or all of a person's body, so the user can show where, and how much, pain is being experienced. The invention also includes a group of programs and databases for monitoring the pain users experience and for drawing conclusions about modifying medical and dental procedures to reduce pain that patients experience. The invention can also be used to monitor other sensations such as “itchiness”.

Abstract: The invention gathers data about individual users and analyzes how each individual user best learns each language that the user seeks to learn, and informs the user so that the user can find that user's best way to learn each language. The invention also detects differences, if any, between the ways that different user groups learn the same foreign language, helping educational personnel to know when to modify their methods for different user groups. The invention uses preattentive attributes, visual techniques, and visual effects that a user can associate with specific grammatical forms, words, or word patterns to help users learn and remember parts of the languages they are learning. The invention tracks the number of words which the user has been taught, in a language, and factors governing how often the user learns new words, so that the user can learn new words more quickly.

Abstract: The invention includes apparatus for holding medical equipment such as poles holding intravenous bags in a set position, relative to other medical equipment such as walkers, so that the user can move and walk more easily and use all the equipment while the user is moving. The user can, for example, use the invention to hold an intravenous bag pole to a walker and use both at the same time. The invention can also help with physical therapy, with nursing home patients, and with helping patient recovery in general. The invention also includes multiple methods for capturing data created by the apparatus and using the data to improve users' physical therapy. Some of the methods use non-fungible tokens to keep data about the use of the apparatus.

Abstract: The invention includes a group of programs that help people learn languages. The programs include explanations of the grammatical rules of the language that a user is trying to learn, and statistical analyses of the types of errors that the individual user makes, and ways that these errors can be corrected. Most embodiments reinforce students' language learning using systems of visual displays, data graphics, and a “grammar of graphics”. The programs can be run on cellular phones, computers, and other electronic devices. The programs can be used by a student to learn a language, or by an instructor to augment a class being taught to students. Some embodiments also allow a student to preserve records of his or her progress and the types of errors that he or makes, between classes, allowing an instructor to tailor a class to the strengths and weaknesses of the students in the class.
