  • Publication number: 20210334728
    Abstract: An assessment system and method configured to automatically assess an individual and an associated job using a computing device. The system includes a benchmark module that stores a benchmark associated with a job. The benchmark includes both minimum threshold scores and maximum threshold scores associated with particular characteristics. The system includes an electronic library of questions associated with an array of characteristics. The system includes a survey module functionally coupled to the electronic library and the benchmark module that automatically performs an assessment by automatically selecting questions from the electronic library based on the benchmark and applying such questions to an individual using a user interface module.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9339649
    Abstract: A system for rehabilitating patients affected by balance disorders with or without vestibular hypofunction and/or malfunction with or without an associated hearing loss, which includes sensors of sound and head movement, processing circuitry, a power source coupled to head phones, an air conduction hearing aid, bone conduction hearing aid, middle ear implant or an electrical stimulator implanted into the cochlea capable of stimulating areas within the cochlea with the potential for current spread to surrounding non-auditory areas including the vestibular system.
