Patent number: 11857349Abstract: This disclosure relates to a device to mechanically and electrically connect with a touch screen computing device, such as a tablet computer. The device can include a platform that can be moved into and out of physical contact with a surface of a touch screen. During engagement with the surface, the moveable platform electrically interacts with the touch screen (e.g., via capacitive coupling) to enable detection by the touch screen of contact members (e.g., pegs) even in the absence of user contact with the pegs.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignees: THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION, BIOGEN MA, INC.Inventors: Jay L. Alberts, David D. Schindler, Jane Rhodes, Wendy Gabel, Jim Best

Patent number: 11471111Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method to implement a performance test to help evaluate a patient's neurological and cognitive function. The performance test can be executed by the patient autonomously using a portable computing device, such as a tablet computer or smart phone. The portable computing device can be programmed to execute a set of modules configured to assess motor and cognitive performance, such as a manual function test module, a cognitive processing speed test module, and a movement assessment test module. The set of modules can also include a collection module to aggregate test data from the manual function test module, the cognitive processing speed test module, and the movement assessment test module.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATIONInventors: Jay L. Alberts, Richard A. Rudick, David D. Schindler, Joshua Hirsch, Stephen M. Rao, Francois Bethoux, Susan Linder, Deborah Miller

Publication number: 20200205698Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method to analyze balance and stability of a patient. Test data for the patient, representing motion of a device affixed to the patient during a test interval, can be received. The test data can be processed to provide processed data (or sensor-derived data) that includes at least one of acceleration data, rotational rate data and rotational position data for the test interval. A biomechanical model can be applied to the processed data to provide center of mass (COM) motion data representing movement of the COM in multiple dimensions for the patient during the test interval. An indication of balance for the patient can be determined based on the COM motion data. The indication of balance can be used to analyze the balance and stability of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: David D. Schindler, Jay L. Alberts, Joshua R. Hirsch

Patent number: 10588546Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method to analyze balance and stability of a patient. Test data for the patient, representing motion of a device affixed to the patient during a test interval (e.g., at a position approximating the center of mass, such as in proximity to the torso), can be received. The test data can be processed to provide processed data (or sensor-derived data) that includes at least one of acceleration data, rotational rate data and rotational position data for the test interval. A biomechanical model can be applied to the processed data to provide center of mass (COM) motion data representing movement of the COM in multiple dimensions for the patient during the test interval. An indication of balance for the patient can be determined based on the COM motion data. The indication of balance can be used to analyze the balance and stability of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATIONInventors: David D.
