Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) systems and methods for treating eating disorders or training a patient to have beneficial eating habits. Systems includes a virtual reality interface displayed to a patient and a computing system coupled to the virtual reality interface. The computing system executes instructions to evaluate a patient eating disorder based upon patient input and to construct and display a therapeutic VR environment, where the patient can be treated for the eating disorder and trained to have beneficial eating habits.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing medical or medical-related diagnosis and treatment, and, more particularly, for implementing risk assessment for suicide and treatment based on interaction with virtual clinician, food intake tracking, and/or satiety determination. In various embodiments, a computing system might generate a virtual clinician capable of simulating facial expressions and body expressions, and might cause, using a display device and/or an audio output device, the generated virtual clinician to interact with a patient. The computing system might analyze the interactions between the virtual clinician and the patient (and in some cases, food intake data) to determine likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient, and, based on a determination that a likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient exceeds a first predetermined threshold value, might send an alert message to one or more healthcare professionals regarding the likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing eating disorder diagnosis based on analysis of patient responses to a set of questions having closed-ended answer options. In various embodiments, a computing system might autonomously determine a diagnosis of whether the first patient has an eating disorder, based on logistic regression analysis of a first set of patient responses to the set of questions. If so, the computing system might autonomously identify a first set of weighted values and a second set of weighted values each corresponding to each of the received first set of patient responses from the first patient; might autonomously calculate a first probability of diagnosis of a first eating disorder and a second probability of diagnosis of a second eating disorder; might autonomously identify which eating disorder the first patient is likely to have; and might display the identified eating disorder.

Abstract: An improved aerosol dispensing apparatus includes an aerosol container, a discharge piece movably mounted to the aerosol container, a flow control valve mounted within the discharge piece, a battery, and an electronically controlled metering valve electronically connected to the battery and in fluid communication with the flow control valve. The flow control valve is movable between an open position wherein a volume of an aerosol formulation is directed from the aerosol container through the flow control valve to the metering valve, and a closed position, wherein the metering valve is configured to precisely control a flow of the aerosol formulation outward of the discharge piece. A solenoid is electronically connected to the battery and is movable between an actuated position wherein the solenoid urges the flow control valve into the open position, and an un-actuated position wherein the flow control valve remains in the closed position.

Abstract: Metadata can be provided to multiple processing units of a database system by using local storages respectively provided for the processing units, such that a local storage is accessible only to its respective processing unit. As a result, processing units can access metadata when needed (e.g., when needed to process a database request at runtime) without having to access a source external to the database system. In addition, metadata (e.g., an XML object, XML schema, XSLT stylesheets, XQuery modules) can be provided using a database request or command, for example, by using a register statement.
