Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of establishing a patient care network that enables high-quality and safe involvement of selected caregivers in the care of patients receiving virtual or at-home care. As described herein, the methods comprise: identifying a first informal care recipient; identifying an informal caregiver candidate based on caregiver information; assigning the informal caregiver candidate to the first informal care recipient; evaluating a performance of the informal caregiver candidate; determining a certification classification/information for the informal caregiver candidate; and creating and/or storing a caregiver record of the informal caregiver candidate in an informal care database.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, trigger-associated user messaging may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a first set of candidate users for messaging with a first user in connection with occurrence of a first trigger associated with the first user may be obtained. The first user may be monitored via one or more sensors for occurrence of the first trigger. A first occurrence of the first trigger may be determined based on the monitoring. Based on the first occurrence of the first trigger, the first set of candidate users may be accessed to initiate messaging between the first user and one or more users of the first set of candidate users. Messaging between the first user and a second user (of the first set of candidate users) may be initiated based on the second user having a higher priority than a third user of the first set of candidate users.

Abstract: A system for providing a reminder to a user is provided that stores reminder information relating to a task that the user wishes to be reminded about, along with activity information comprising information on activities that are considered to have an effect on the efficacy of the reminder associated with the task. The system monitors the user to determine if the activities in the activity information are being performed to produce a monitoring result, and then determines when to remind the user about the task based on the monitoring result by comparing the monitoring result to a threshold. A reminder alert is then output to the user when the monitoring result meets or exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for assessing the cognitive style of a person. The system comprises an input interface (12) for receiving speech spoken by the person, a language processor (16) for analyzing the speech to identify predetermined natural language elements, and a style identifier (18, 18?) for identifying the cognitive style of the person based on the identified natural language elements.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving contextual information for a user; updating a user state based on the received contextual information; providing electronic interventions to the user over a first interval by executing a first intervention algorithm based on the updated user state; and providing electronic interventions to the user over a second interval based on executing a second intervention algorithm that maximizes a reward function based on a further updated user state of the user and the electronic interventions of the first interval, the second intervention algorithm of a different type than the first intervention algorithm.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprising receiving an electronic message, the electronic message comprising a first motivational message; determining any one or a combination of a coaching style or content personalized to a user based on an analysis of the first motivational message; and setting any one or a combination of the coaching style or content for future electronic messages directed to the user based on a confidence of the determination meeting a threshold confidence level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for detecting a health condition of a subject (15), comprising a data interface (12) for receiving sensor data (14) of said subject (15) and one or more disease classification parameters (16) for characterizing one or more diseases, a user interface (18) for receiving a user input (20) related to a disease activity, an analysis unit (26) for extracting one or more physiological and/or behavioral features from said received sensor data (14), an optimizer unit (28) for optimizing said one or more disease classification parameters (16) based on a correlation analysis between said one or more physiological and/or behavioral features and said user input (20), and a detection unit (30) for detecting a health condition of said subject (15) by applying said one or more disease classification parameters (16) to said one or more physiological and/or behavioral features.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a user is provided that stores user information about a psychological profile of the user, and a list of monitoring parameters that each comprise a measurable parameter related to the user. A tailored list of monitoring parameters is selected from the set of monitoring parameters based on the user information, and the system then monitors the user using the tailored list of monitoring parameters to provide monitoring results. Information related to the monitoring results can then be outputted to the user.

Abstract: A system for messaging users is provided that comprises a therapeutic regime datastore arranged to store therapeutic activity information including information on therapeutic activities forming part of a therapeutic regime of a first user, the therapeutic regime of the first user relating to a health condition of the first user and a user datastore arranged to store information on a plurality of second users. A monitor mechanism is provided to monitor the first user to determine if the first user performs a therapeutic activity for which therapeutic activity information is stored in the therapeutic regime datastore and to produce an adherence result for that therapeutic activity based on the determination. An output mechanism is provided to output information to the second users regarding the adherence result, and a receiver mechanism is provided to receive messages from the second users to the first user relating to the adherence result.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an activity visualization device for personal use, said device being adapted to be used in close physical contact with an individual. Said device comprises an accelerometer for determining the physical activity of an individual, a memory for logging said physical activity over time, a processing unit for carrying out computational operations on the basis of the measured and/or logged data, and a visualization display for presentation of the measured and/or logged data, or data resulting from the computational operation thereof.
