Patent number: 11537589Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for enabling a sensor device to receive and transmit updates effectively via one or more rules applied to a plurality of event records for transmission by an event management server. In one exemplary embodiment, the event management server manages the plurality of event records (such as records of deletions or updates to a user's profile or goals), via an event suppression application. The event suppression application ensures that event records are not redundantly provided to the sensor device and/or irrelevant records (such as those which no longer contain the most up-to-date information) are not provided to the sensor device. Hence, only the most relevant event records are provided and that those which are not relevant are ignored (not transmitted). In this manner, the sensor device may operate more efficiently to receive only the most relevant transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: MYFITNESSPAL, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Villalva, Bradford J.

Patent number: 11529097Abstract: A subject's Default Mode Network is accessed through corresponding measurements of the Micro-Coherence Oximetry Network Strength (MCO-S). An associated MCO-S system (100) includes a wearable (102), a user device (112) and a processing platform (123). The wearable (102) collects subject information sufficient to enable monitoring and optimization of the subject's Default Mode Network include sensors such as pulse oximetry instrumentation and EEG electrodes to obtain brainwave data, oxygen saturation data, heart rate variability data, and galvanic skin conductance data. Information from the sensors may be communicated to a user device (112), such as a cell phone or VR headset. The user device (112) communicates with a remote processing platform (123) that may execute artificial intelligence functionality and other logic in connection with assessing the patient's micro-coherence network strength and optimizing behavior modification protocols in relation to attributes and objectives of the subject.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Wellness IP, Inc.Inventor: Michael Peter Hickey
