Abstract: A system is provided for collecting medical data about a subject between visits to a health care professional. The system includes a medical records database that stores patient data for access by the health care professional and an interactive and distributed data collection system provided to a team of collaborators (doctors, parents, teachers, etc.) who are to collect data about the subject between visits to a health professional. The data collection system includes a plurality of mobile computing devices implementing a software application adapted to periodically collect symptoms data and activity data about the subject in response to prompts relating to the subject's condition, to enable chat discussions amongst the team of collaborators about the symptons and activities of the subject, and to periodcally forward the collected data in a report to the medical records database.

Abstract: A single diagnostic dose of a chemical agent that can bind with molecular specificity or provide a well characterized molecular effect on a mammalian host (including humans) is provided to a patient between brain scans. The method typically comprises at least one pre-dose scan of the subject followed by a waiting period then a second post-dose diagnostic scan. The diagnostic scans can be conventional in nature or of a multi-modal variety. A comparison, in the form of a difference or ratio, between data or extracted features before versus after the diagnostic dose indicates with molecular specificity the tone in the brain of that subject. The resulting data may be used to assess instances of medical fraud and can be used in back to work decisions for brain and soft tissue injuries for which the determinations have traditionally been somewhat subjective in nature.

Abstract: The invention is for an elbow brace for preventing or reducing muscular and nerve disorders in the region of the elbow, such as tennis elbow. The brace comprises a tubular sleeve adapted for fitting over a wearer's arm with one end terminating above the wearer's elbow and the other end terminating below the wearer's elbow. The sleeve includes a protective opening configured to surround and avoid contact with the medial aspect of the wearer's elbow to protect the medial aspect from contact, pressure and friction.

Abstract: The invention is for a brace for preventing or reducing muscular and nerve disorders in the region of the elbow such as tennis elbow. The brace comprises a sleeve adapted for fitting over a wearer's arm with one end terminating above the wearer's elbow and the other end terminating below the wearer's elbow. The sleeve includes a cut-out section arranged to be located over an injured portion of the wearer's elbow joint. The brace also includes a pad which supports the elbow and has an outer contour that avoids contact with the injured area of the wearer's elbow. The pad also serves to isolate the wearer's elbow from contact and pressure.
