  • Publication number: 20230293090
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling permissions for an individual. The techniques can include presenting neurophysiological stimuli to the individual, measuring neurophysiological response by the individual to the neurophysiological stimuli, determining whether the individual is exhibiting cognitive impairment based on whether the measured neurophysiological response differs from a reference response by a threshold, and controlling a permission according to criteria and the determination as to whether the individual is exhibiting cognitive impairment, wherein the permission allows the individual to at least one of access a resource or perform an action.

  • Publication number: 20230148922
    Abstract: Systems and methods for screening a subject for neuropathology associated with COVID-19. The method can include providing neurophysiological stimuli to the subject, measuring response by the subject to the neurophysiological stimuli, comparing the measured responses to a reference, determining whether the subject demonstrates abnormal or changed responses to the neurophysiological stimuli according to whether the measured responses differ from the individual's baseline or from the reference by one or more thresholds, and providing an alert according to whether the subject has abnormal or changed responses to the neurophysiological stimuli, wherein the alert comprises an intervention associated with COVID-19.

  • Publication number: 20230148944
    Abstract: Systems and methods for screening a subject for neuropathology associated with a condition. The method can include providing neurophysiological stimuli to the subject, measuring response by the subject to the neurophysiological stimuli, comparing the measured responses to a reference, determining whether the subject demonstrates abnormal or changed responses to the neurophysiological stimuli according to whether the measured responses differ from the individual's baseline or from the reference by one or more thresholds, and providing an alert according to whether the subject has abnormal or changed responses to the neurophysiological stimuli, wherein the alert comprises an intervention associated with the condition.

  • Patent number: 11605462
    Abstract: Systems and methods for biometrically identifying an individual via a screening system for screening a subject for a response to neurophysiological stimuli as an indication for COVID-19, wherein the screening system is configured to capture biometric data associated with the subject during screening of the subject. The systems and methods provide the subject a neurophysiological stimulus selected for clinical manifestations of COVID-19, updating biometric template as necessary for individuals, and then determining whether an individual is the subject based on the updated biometric template and a response exhibited by the subject to the neurophysiological stimulus.

  • Publication number: 20220240835
    Abstract: A system and method for screening a subject for a pupillary response to an olfactory stimulus as an indication for COVID-19. The method can include providing the olfactory stimulus to the subject via a scent dispenser, measuring a pupillary response of the subject to the olfactory stimulus via a detector, and comparing the measured pupillary response to a reference. The reference could include a default value or a characterized pupillary response for the subject or a population of individuals to the olfactory stimulus. The method can further include determining whether the subject demonstrates a diminished or an absent response to the olfactory stimulus according to whether the measured pupillary response differs from the reference by a threshold and providing an alert accordingly. The alert can include an intervention associated with COVID-19, such a recommendation to seek medical evaluation or take a COVID-19 diagnostic test.

  • Publication number: 20210304858
    Abstract: Systems and processes for verifying and authenticating a certification or status associated with an individual are described herein. A certificate verification system for COVID-19 verification can include a camera, a database, and a computer system coupled to the camera and the database. The computer system receive a COVID-19 status associated with an individual, wherein the COVID-19 status comprises at least one of a test result or a vaccination status associated with COVID-19, capture, via the camera, an image of the individual, record, in the database, the COVID-19 status and the image associated with the individual, and provide the individual with a record retrieval resource associated with the user profile for retrieving the status and the image of the individual.
