Publication number: 20180301153Abstract: Aspects define a capture signal as audio inputs by a user of word content. An input of the capture signal word content is recognized in response to an audio input of the user reciting the capture signal word content into a microphone in communication with the recording device during a recording of a speech presentation by the recording device. A recording portion start time is identified that is prior to a time of the input of the capture signal during the current recording of the audio speech presentation in response to recognizing the input of the capture signal word content from the user. The recording device is driven to capture a portion of the recorded audio speech presentation over a period of time spanning from the recording portion start time to the time of the input of the capture signal word content.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: ILSE M.

Publication number: 20180268939Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for use in managing patient treatments utilizing pharmaceutical or therapeutic compounds. Methods include accessing one or more fields of information relating to any of a patient, physician and drug treatment and relating the one or more fields, or combination thereof, to a particular attribute or outcome. By analyzing the one or more fields of data in relation to the attribute or outcome, the system determines suitability of an intervention(s) and tasks the intervention(s) to one or more entities to facilitate the desired attribute or outcome. In certain aspects, the system facilitates identification of complex relationships and trends between seemingly unrelated fields of information and outputs information for use in an intervention or various other purposes according to the attribute or outcome desired by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2018Publication date: September 20, 2018Inventors: Steven Lo, David Penake, John Lyons, Kate Tully, Katherine Waidner

Publication number: 20180153465Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for assisting the user to wear an appropriate amount of clothing layers. A smart device (e.g., smartwatch) receives measurements of temperature and humidity sensed at various locations on a human body which are sources of sweat. In response to the measured temperature or humidity being above the first threshold (indication that the user will start to feel overheated) or below the second threshold (indication that the user will start to feel cold), the smart device generates a notification to the user to adjust the clothing layers (e.g., remove a clothing layer). Alternatively, the smart device may receive measurements of a pH level of the user's sweat. The smart device generates a notification to the user to stop exercising and to drink water in response to the received measurement being below a threshold (indication that the user is approaching dehydration).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Ilse M.
