The method includes interpolating local activation time values and velocity values for the one or more other meshes and tracing a path of velocity vectors on the one or more other meshes in accordance with the interpolation of the local activation time values and velocity values. The method also includes projecting the path on the anatomical mesh to provide an enhanced visualization of the anatomical structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: Biosense Webster (Israel) Ltd.Inventors: Avram Dan Montag, Meir Bar-Tal

Publication number: 20220175304Abstract: A typing data analysis system may be used to accurately detect early onset of CNS diseases and psychiatric disorders based on typing data. The typing data analysis system may use distance based data analytics techniques to diagnose CNS diseases and psychiatric disorders with high accuracy. The distance based data analytics techniques may include a distance analysis that determines the distance between two or more sets of inconsistency measures that are associated with a particular individual, disease, or disorder. The distance between inconsistency measures for two or more diseases/disorders may be used to better differentiate between each disease/disorder. The distance between the inconsistency measures for an individual and a disease/disorder may help more accurately screen the individual for the disease/disorder.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: NeuraMetrix, Inc.Inventor: Jan SAMZELIUS
