  • Patent number: 12633416
    Abstract: Methods for communicating risk of skin conditions due to exposure to sunlight and environmental conditions to individuals. Methods utilize geolocation data and environmental data to provide guidance and enable consumers to make informed decisions regarding outdoor activities, healthcare, and skincare. A photopollution metric is a function of ultraviolet index (UVI) and the level of a pollutant such as particulate matter (PM) and enables communication of risk of exposome-induced skin conditions to an individual based on environmental exposure.

  • Publication number: 20230111085
    Abstract: A method of neurostimulation includes applying a probe signal to an electrode implanted in or near a target neural structure of the brain. The method further includes detecting a first response from the target neural structure evoked by the probe signal and determining a first time period between application of the probe signal and a first temporal feature of the response. Further, the method includes generating a therapeutic signal comprising a plurality of pulses, at least two of the plurality of pulses separated by the first time period, and applying the therapeutic signal to the electrode or another electrode implanted in or near the target neural structure.
