Abstract: A system and method for translating a 3D image into a 2D image is provided. A 3D image of voxels and properties associated with the voxels is analyzed. Each of the voxels in the 3D image is scaled to match a size of an output tile for a 2D image. Colors are added to the 2D image based on the properties of the voxels. Contour lines are added to the 2D image based on changes in altitude represented by the 3D image. The 2D image is output.

Abstract: A system and method for selection and explanation of solutions is provided. A hierarchy of aggregation factors is maintained for evaluating at least a partial solution. Competing solutions are generated and each solution includes at least a partial solution. Scores are calculated for each of the aggregation factors for each competing solution. A total evaluation score is calculated for each competing solution based on the scores for at least one of the aggregation factors. The competing solution with the best evaluation score is selected and a gist is generated. The gist is a narrative comparing the selected solution with the non-selected solutions based on the at least one aggregation factor. The gist is provided to a user as a rationale for selection of the solution.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for facilitating real-world interaction with virtual reality. During operation, the system receives, by a computing device from a virtual reality device associated with a user, instructions to configure physical components, wherein for a first physical component at a first location, the instructions indicate a type and an orientation, and wherein for a second physical component located at a second location, the instructions indicate a type, a length of extension, and an angle. The system executes, by a pose-adjusting unit, the instructions, which involves: physically moving the first physical component to the indicated orientation at the first location; physically extending the second physical component from the second location by the indicated length; and physically rotating the extended second physical component by the indicated angle. The system renders, on the virtual reality device, the configured physical components.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing a data rerepresentation is provided. A representation of data from a first application is identified and a rerepresentation of the data from the first application is generated. The rerepresentation includes one of a modification format rerepresentation that changes a presentation of the data and a projection format rerepresentation that provides one of more or less data in the rerepresentation than the first application by overlaying at least a portion of the data from the first application over data from a second application using ancillary data identified from the data of the first application or data from a separate application. Actions from a user are received within the rerepresentation and are applied to the data of the representation from the first application.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for automatic patient querying are provided. Information regarding a user is collected. An event associated with the user is identified as a trigger event based on the collected information. One or more questions regarding the event are identified and automatically sent to the user as a prompt for information based on the trigger. Feedback is received from the user in reply to the prompt.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for creating a health/wellness program on a generic health/wellness platform. During operation, the system receives, at the generic health/wellness platform, a set of definitions for the health/wellness program, constructs a program model for the health/wellness program, generates a program instance to be executed on the generic health/wellness platform, and associates the program instance to a number of health/wellness modules provided by the health/wellness platform.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering a multidimensional wellness coaching program and recommendation to a computing device. During operation, the system receives a request for content to assist the user in achieving a health and wellness goal from the computing device. The system estimates numeric values for a radar chart. The system may create a customized program by combining components and primitives and the customized program includes a set of activities for the user to perform. The system may receive user input and sensor and user activity data from the computing device. Based on the received information, the system may modify the radar chart. The system may modify components of the customized program based on the radar chart. The system may generate a coaching recommendation based on the radar chart. The system then sends the customized program and coaching recommendation to the computing device.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for automatically reporting progress in completing objectives and goals of a plan. During operation, the system receives data indicating user selection and/or configuration of a plan with one or more goals, objectives, and/or milestones. The system obtains data generated by sensors in a sensing device and/or a mobile device. The sensors generate physiological data or data from detecting activity or environment associated with the user. Next, the system analyzes the data to determine whether the user has completed an objective, milestone, or goal of the plan. If the system determines that the user has completed an objective, milestone, or goal of the plan, the system pushes an alert to the mobile device indicating that the user has completed the objective, milestone, or goal.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a synchronized data rerepresentation is provided. Data maintained by an originating application is accessed and the data is presented thorough an originating user interface. The data is marshaled into a form useable by a surrogate application with rerepresentation of the data through a surrogate user interface. Selections of the data are reflected across the originating user interface and the surrogate user interface. Actions on the data are synchronized between the originating application and the surrogate application.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for generating healthcare suggestions. During operation, the system extracts data based on a user's communication, which can be between the user and other users or presented online by the user. The system identifies a health-related issue from the extracted data. The system then generates, based on the extracted data, content that indicates a first suggestion corresponding to the health-related issue. The system subsequently monitors the user's communication to generate an additional suggestion that is an improvement over the first suggestion.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending interesting content is provided. A content profile including a vector of words extracted from messages associated with a user is obtained. One or more content pointer profiles each including a vector of words associated with a content pointer located within one or more messages are obtained. The content profile is compared with each of the content pointer profiles. A relevance score is determined for that content pointer by calculating a similarity between the user words and the content pointer words. The content pointers are ranked based on the relevance score. A threshold is applied to select the content pointers and those content pointers that satisfy the threshold are selected as the content pointers most relevant to the user.
