  • Publication number: 20250200430
    Abstract: An apparatus for assisted learning, wherein the apparatus includes at least a processor and a memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to receive user data pertaining to a user, wherein the user data includes user activity data, determine an interaction indicator by evaluating the user activity data using a behavioral analysis module, wherein determining the interaction indictor includes identifying a user archetype based on user activity data and validate the user archetype against a pre-defined set of behavioral archetypes, selectively initiate a user event based on the validated user archetype, and iteratively listen for a user response to the user event, wherein the user response alerts a subsequent interaction indicator upon a re-evaluation of the user activity data using the behavioral analysis module.

  • Publication number: 20160345830
    Abstract: A computing device receives analyte data produced by an analyte monitoring sensor over a communications link from at least one first device. Health data, comprising at least part of the analyte data, may be communicated over a communications link to at least one second device in response to a request. The first device may be positioned over the analyte monitoring sensor using signal strength and location information. External analyte data may be employed to calibrate the analyte monitoring sensor.

  • Publication number: 20060282042
    Abstract: The present invention provides an insertion device and method for implanting a biosensor into a patient subject. In one embodiment, a biosensor is stored in the instrument's hydration chamber which enables the biosensor to maintain proper hydration and sterilization prior to insertion. The instrument further includes a plunger that travels along a channel within the support device. After the biosensor is placed into the channel, the user pushes the plunger causing the biosensor to move through the channel and a hollow tube and into the patient subject. The present invention also provides for packaging and storing a biosensor and insertion device so that the biosensor is hydrated and sterile prior to insertion.

  • Publication number: 20050237518
    Abstract: An optical sensor device for determining the presence or concentration of an analyte, contains a waveguide disposed over a light source and a light detector mounted on a surface of a substrate and separated by an internal baffle, wherein the waveguide has a thickness corresponding to a far field emission point of the light source as determined by a light shielding baffle between the light source and light detector. An analyte indicator matrix is disposed on the outer surface of the waveguide. The sensor device geometry takes advantage of only direct illumination of the indicator matrix, and direct collection of indicator matrix illumination, without any significant reflection by said waveguide. Undesirable light noise generated by the light source passes directly out of the device through the waveguide.
