  • Publication number: 20230385555
    Abstract: A computing system for interacting with a user comprises a processor and a memory storing executable software which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to commence an interactive session with a user, receive input data from the user during the interactive session, analyze the received input data and output a response to the user to continue the interactive session with the user. The processor, prior to outputting the response, identifies one or more topics from the received input data, ascertains a tone of the received input data, generates a mirroring prompt based on the ascertained tone of the received input data, and output to the user the generated mirroring prompt. The processor outputs the mirroring prompt to the user during the interactive session to cause an increase in a level of engagement of the user with the interactive session.

  • Publication number: 20230112522
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medication tracking and compliance system. In an embodiment, the system receives an initial drug regimen comprising one or more drugs configured to inhibit a calcitonin superfamily of peptides. The system, via a client device, may receive user input and extract the medication-relevant information from said user input. In a further embodiment, the medication-relevant information may be analyzed in view of drug-specific information to evaluate potential positive and/or negative effects. The system may generate an activity within the interactive session, where the activity may be replaced with a succeeding activity based on the activity content efficacy and activity type efficacy of the previously generated activity.

  • Publication number: 20230111078
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system of networked devices configured to increase the efficacy of a migraine treatment plan and adherence to said treatment plan. The system may comprise a client device and a server, wherein the client device is adapted to generate an interactive session including one or more tracks. In a further embodiment, the client device receives user input and alters the track based on an instant instruction. The instant instruction may be generated by the server based on at least the received input data and the need set. Thus, the server may transmit the instant instruction to the client device, enabling the client device to alter the track such as to improve at least one need from the need set.

  • Publication number: 20230112908
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a treatment protocol for treatment of migraine comprising an abortive drug adapted to bind with a plurality of calcitonin gene-related peptides (CGRP) receptors. The abortive drug may be adapted to mitigate vasodilation in a user. The treatment protocol may comprise evaluating medication-relevant information from a user input to determine positive and/or negative effects of the abortive drug regimen. The treatment protocol may include a preventative drug regimen and a corresponding preventative drug. The treatment protocol may be configured to evaluate the efficacy of the abortive and/or preventive drug regimens based on the determined positive and/or negative effects. In a further embodiment, the drug protocol may be configured to generate suggested alterations to either regimen based on the efficacy evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20230109946
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to digital devices adapted to increase the efficacy of a computer-implemented migraine treatment plan. In some embodiments, an apparatus generates an interactive session comprising a plurality of tracks and sets a need set according to a baseline level. The need set may comprise a selection of one or more tracks, wherein the selection is a function of the baseline level and/or a variable level. The interactive session may utilize a three-tiered architecture interactive dialogue module comprising a master file, a plurality of skeleton files, and a plurality of skin sets, wherein each of the plurality of skin sets is nested within one of the plurality of skeleton files and the plurality of skeleton files are nested within the master file. Accordingly, the tracks, the activities, and the tasks, may each utilize the master file, the skeleton files, and the skin sets, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20220237709
    Abstract: A computing system that includes a server, the system functions as a patient social content system (PSCS) which, among other functions, provides content to a patient/user. A device with a network connection to the computing system permits the patient to provide information to the computing system. In addition, one or more sensors are configured to detect changes in various physical parameters relevant to the patient. Electrical signals from the sensors are conveyed to the computing system so that the computing system is aware of changes in physical parameters of the patient. Based on the changed physical parameters of the patient, the computing system provides different content to the user that is relevant to the changes. Overall, processes carried out by the system establish and maintain a patient social content system that utilizes tracking data received from one or more sensors.
