  • Patent number: 12154427
    Abstract: An alert is used to inform a user that their blood glucose level has dropped below a threshold (e.g., the user is hypoglycemic) or has increased above a threshold (e.g., the user is hyperglycemic). There is a hierarchy of alerts from lowest priority to highest priority. The alert is communicated by a user device (e.g., a mobile device), which is, for example, a smartphone, smart watch, home automation device, or the like. The alert is modified in order to increase the likelihood that the user receives or acknowledges the alert within a minimal amount of time. An intensity level (e.g., a volume) of an alert is modified based on, for example, whether the user has acknowledged a previous alert. A modality or a sensory channel of an alert is changed if an initial alert does fails to elicit a response from the user.

  • Patent number: 11931521
    Abstract: Distributed feedback-circuitry uses operant conditioning to train a subject to achieve a target state of consciousness. The distributed feedback-circuitry includes remote circuitry having both a feature-extraction circuit and a controller. The former receives a real-time electroencephalogram and information indicative of a target state from the subject and generates a measured feature-set and a target feature-set therefrom. The latter causes transmission of a conditioning stimulus to be listened to by the subject. The conditioning stimulus causes the measured feature-set to be driven towards the target feature-set. The controller also causes the conditioning stimulus to comprise a conditioning-audio stimulus that transitions between being a base-audio stimulus with no reward stimulus and being a base-audio stimulus that has been operated on to incorporate a reward stimulus. The controller causes this transition based on progress made in causing the measured feature-set to conform to the target feature-set.
