  • Patent number: 11974063
    Abstract: Transcribed text and physiological data of a remote video conference participant are transmitted to a local device separately from the video data, which depicts the remote party during a time interval. An image of the video data is captured at a time instant within the time interval. A value of a remote party feature is determined remotely using the video data. The remote party feature can be the remote party's heart rate at the time instant. The value of the feature is received onto the local device. Audio data captures sounds spoken by the remote party and is converted by the remote device into words of text. The audio data converted into a particular word was captured at the time instant. The particular word is received onto the local device. The particular word and the value of the feature are displayed in association with one another on the local device.

  • Publication number: 20230285711
    Abstract: A method determines the most effective motivator at inducing a user to engage in a digital mental health intervention. The user is exposed to a first motivator that prompts the user to perform the intervention. The motivator can be a video, audio tape, textual explanation or quiz-like game. Intervention and motivator parameters are monitored to assess user engagement both with the first motivator and in performing the intervention. An intervention delivery model is personalized to the user based on both parameters. The intervention delivery model is used to determine the efficacy of the first motivator at motivating the user to perform the intervention. The intervention and motivator parameters are compared to an intervention engagement threshold and a motivator engagement threshold. If either or both parameters are below the corresponding threshold, the intervention delivery model is used to select a second motivator. The user is then exposed to the second motivator.

  • Publication number: 20230245659
    Abstract: Video data captured during a time interval at the location of a remote party to a videoconference is received onto a remote device. The video data depicts the remote party. Audio data capturing sounds spoken by the remote party during the time interval is also received onto the remote device, which converts the audio data into words of text and captures prosodic information describing the sounds spoken by the remote party during the time interval. The words of text are received onto a local device. The prosodic information corresponding to the sounds spoken by the remote party during the time interval that were converted into the words of text are also received onto the local device. The words of text and prosodic information are stored in association with one another. A physiological parameter of the remote party is determined using the video data and is received onto the local device.

  • Publication number: 20230104641
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the reaction of a user and for adjusting output content based on the user's reaction includes an output unit, a monitoring unit, a synchronization unit, an analysis unit and a control unit. The output unit presents content to the user. The monitoring unit monitors a user parameter during a period during which a first content is presented to the user in order to obtain monitoring data from the user. The monitoring data is synchronized during the period with the first content so as to link in time the monitoring data and the first content. The analysis unit analyzes the monitoring data and links it to the first content in order to determine the user's reaction to the first content. The control unit controls the output unit to present a second content to the user that is selected based on the user's reaction to the first content.
