Abstract: A computerized behavioral measurement system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed. The system includes a display, one or more input devices, at least one processor, and memory storing instructions that cause the system to present a sequence of visual stimuli comprising photographs of human subjects. For each stimulus, the system enforces at least one of a presentation interval and a response window, receives a participant response during the response window, and measures an interaction metric comprising a dwell-time metric for the stimulus and/or a defined region-of-interest. The system generates and stores a machine-readable output record comprising category-segmented response metrics and may normalize such metrics to produce participant-specific normalized metrics. In certain embodiments, a second task module presents lexical stimuli and generates a unified output record including visual-task metrics and lexical error rate.

Abstract: A system for remotely determining the potential presence of depression in a user. The system includes a virtual agent that administers one or more tasks to the user. The user performs the tasks and the performance is captured by a camera. The captured audiovisual data is sent to a server that derives objective metrics which are then applied to a classifying algorithm. If certain metrics meet certain thresholds, the system determines that the user is exhibiting depression symptoms. In embodiments, the system can further determine whether a user has been taking depression medication.

Abstract: A variable speed controlled device used for descending, ascending or descending and ascending along a rope such as used in mountain climbing, tree climbing, rescue operations and the like. A friction mechanism controls the speed of the movement of the device along a rope line. A person can quickly and freely ascend a steep slope along a rope line using the device. A person can also descend a steep slope along a rope line and be confident that a friction mechanism will control the rate of descent. An optional locking mechanism may assist with allowing rapid ascent. An optional e-brake mechanism can further ensure the device will lock and prevent further downward movement if the person begins a freefall. The device allows other persons (e.g., a teammate, guide or rescue agency) to safely lower incapacitated or unconscious persons down an alpine mountain, burning building, cliff or the like.

Abstract: A system for administering performance tests to patients remotely has a server that can execute one or more performance tests, presented to the patient via a virtual agent running on the patient's computing device. The performance tests ask the patient to perform a task and then the patient's computing device captures the performance of the task such that the server can analyze the results and determine whether the patient suffers from a condition. The system is capable of adapting based on how a patient performs the tests, whether additional tests are needed or due to technical difficulties.

Abstract: A system and method for remote monitoring of patient motor functions includes a computing device that uses captured image data depicting a patient's body part and, based on movement information, detects whether a condition may exist that is affecting motor functions. The body part can be a hand that is tracked as the user performs a tapping exercise. The body part can also include the patient's face during speech and also without speech.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a laparoscopic morcellating device and method for removing tissue from a body cavity. The morcellating device includes a containment mechanism having an aperture, a cutting mechanism designed to fit into an interior space of the containment mechanism and a retractor mechanism that is coupled to the cutting mechanism. The containment mechanism and cutting mechanism combination surrounds the tissue and the aperture of the containment mechanism is closed around the tissue. The morcellating device further includes a motor for actuating the retractor such that the cutting mechanism constricts and morcellates the tissue. The laparoscopic morcellating device further allows for torque balancing of the retractor mechanism, gas flow regulation of the body cavity, and safety feedback mechanisms that can alert the surgeon.
