  • 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: 20020091632
    Abstract: A system and method of managing a prepaid card account to provide offers for goods and/or services in real time is provided. When a user establishes an electronic communication between the user and a service provider, and the service provider receives the user's prepaid card account card account number, the prepaid card account manager is notified. The prepaid account manager selects, and transmits, an offer of goods and/or services based on an interest database that corresponds to the user's prepaid card account, and the usage of that account.

  • Patent number: 6243373
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for communicating audio information over a computer network. A standard telephone connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) may be used to communicate with any other PSTN-connected telephone, where a computer network, such as the Internet, is the transmission facility instead of conventional telephone transmission facilities, such as the interexchange or intralata facilities. In addition to telephone-telephone communication, telephone-computer and computer-telephone communication is also possible. The originator of a conversation (calling party) dials the number of an access port for the computer network. The call is routed to a central office switching system which is connected to the PSTN and then to the access port which is a specialized computer system (ITS node).

  • Patent number: 5327486
    Abstract: A method and system for managing telephone calls includes a personal telephone manager (PTM) (12) and uses out-of-band, wireless, two-way signaling, messaging and alerting to screen, control, route and respond to incoming telephone calls and to communicate called party text messages in auditory form to the caller. Through use of an out-of-band signaling/messaging path (16), the PTM (12) frees the called party from the need to maintain telephone network connectivity, from having to inform others of his/her current location, and from having to subscribe to and use cellular telephone service. Instead, the called party can rely on the availability of existing low bandwidth, wide area, two-way wireless data services, which make efficient and cost effective use of available radio spectrum. Two-way wireless data messaging to a portable computer (18) equipped with radio transceivers is also provided.
