Abstract: There is provided a method for evaluating a user-specified path in an activity in which the user is to select a plurality of targets, the method in an electronic device comprising receiving information on a plurality of targets and information on the user-specified path; defining a respective evaluation area for each target; and determining whether the user has successfully selected a first target in the plurality of targets by: determining from the user-specified path an entry point for the user-specified path into the evaluation area for the first target and an exit point for the user-specified path out of the evaluation area for the first target; determining a first measure of similarity being a measure of similarity for the part of the user-specified path in the evaluation area for the first target and a first path that is a straight line from the determined entry point to the determined exit point; determining a second measure of similarity being a measure of similarity for the part of the user-specified

Abstract: A system and method for radiotherapeutic treatment of a patient (20) are provided. The system comprises a patient carrier (11) for receiving the patient (20), means for monitoring (12) positions of at least two different body parts of the patient (20), a processor (14) and feedback means (13). The processor (14) is coupled to the means for monitoring (12) positions and is operative to analyze the monitored positions to determine, for each body part of the at least two body parts, a displacement of the respective body part with respect to a particular desired position. The feedback means (13) are coupled to the processor (14) for interacting with the patient (20) and to provide feedback concerning the displacement of the respective body part.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for use in the assessment of an attentional deficit. During the assessment, a test image is presented to a subject on a display. A camera image is obtained from a camera which is indicative of a geometric relation between the head of the subject and the display during the assessment. The camera image is analyzed to determine a deviation in the geometric relation between the head of the subject and the display from a reference geometric relation. Deviation data is then generated and output which is indicative of the deviation. Advantageous uses of the deviation data include providing visual feedback to the user, adjusting the test image, and taking the deviation into account when processing test data of the assessment. Advantageously, the need for a trained professional to be present during the assessment is reduced or avoided.
