Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided for issuing a vehicle title that guards against title washing by utilizing blockchain technology. The method includes determining a Global Asset Registry Ledger (GRL) entry for the vehicle title and obtaining a Predictive Validation Index (PVI) value based on the GRL entry. The title registration process is performed using the PVI value, which involves instantiating, deploying, and executing a plurality of smart contracts on a title issuance authority blockchain network. These smart contracts are deployed by digitally signing with a cryptographic private key and are executed to commit the transaction based on proof of attestation policies, resulting in the issuance of the vehicle title. The system further facilitates verifying the authenticity of the title and determining the owner of the vehicle through blockchain queries.

Abstract: Devices/techniques coupleable to patient sensors, ambient environment, and external sensory input. Devices/techniques receive/maintain information; correlate received/maintained information with measures associated with detecting/monitoring, predict, prevent/treat, and train/reward patient self-care, for dry eyes. Devices/techniques detect/monitor, predict, and prevent/treat dry eyes in real time; and train/reward patients to conduct self-care for dry eyes. The devices/techniques provide adjusted sensory inputs to prevent/treat dry eyes, or to train/reward patients to conduct self-care for dry eyes. The devices/techniques cooperate with other devices, including devices worn by nearby patients, to receive/maintain information about the ambient environment, or communicate with medical personnel. The devices/techniques adjust parameters they use, in response to received information that differs from predictions, to provide superior behavior, and communicate with other devices and medical personnel.
