  • Patent number: 11957986
    Abstract: There is a need to dynamically determine one or more levels of difficulty for a computer program associated with one or more levels of difficulty for a computer program associated with one or more dynamic difficulty tasks. In one example, embodiments comprise, during a user interaction session with a computer program, receiving a physiological evaluation data object. One or more physiological difficulty levels may be determined based at least in part on the physiological evaluation data object. One or more program control parameter values for one or more program control parameters may be determined based at least in part on the one or more physiological difficulty levels. User interface data for the computer program may be generated to enable rendering of an in-program experience of the computer program as adjusted by the one or more program control parameter values.

  • Publication number: 20130030260
    Abstract: A system and method for generating and displaying a health risk assessment report to a patient in real time is provided. The system receives a plurality of biometric data values for a patient and automatically processes subsets of the data to determine at least one category grade point average or letter grade. An overall health risk grade point average or letter grade is determined and presented to the patient along with the individual category grades. A simulated category letter grade and overall letter grade may also be presented which reflect selected adjustments to at least one of the biometric data values. The biometric data values may be based on real time measurement of a biosample taken from the patient in addition to manually entered data.
