  • Patent number: 12040073
    Abstract: A process for reprogramming the responses of a subject to external stimuli. During the process, the subject identifies a personal negative belief—or automatic negative response to an external stimulus—and identifies a plurality of negative terms that strongly correlate, in the subject's mind, with the belief. For each of the negative terms, the subject expands upon the correlation, exploring the emotional effect or personal feelings aroused by the correlation of each of the terms with the belief. The subject then identifies an appropriate alternative belief and correlates the appropriate belief to each of a plurality of positive terms, then then expands and explores the personal feelings or emotions aroused. The subject then evaluates any change resulting from the process. The subject may repeat the process while selecting a new negative belief, or with the same belief as before, in one example with a different plurality of negative terms.

  • Patent number: 12027277
    Abstract: An active learning system can analyze a dataset of users with self-reported symptoms and associated data from wearable devices to train a baseline machine learning model to predict symptoms of a chronic health condition based on wearable device data. For example, symptoms can be predicted in terms of lost physical activity, increased sleep requirements, and changes in resting heart rate. Using the baseline model, the active learning system can train and refine individual user-specific models to predict the onset of chronic health condition symptoms over time. These models can be used to predict symptoms for inclusion in a log of symptoms for the target user (which may be used by a healthcare provider to personalize treatment for the target user) or to provide interventions to the user (for example, warning of a predicted severe symptom day). In some implementations individual chronic health condition models are maintained and updated using active learning techniques.

  • Patent number: 12011293
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for sensing a physiological characteristic includes a power source, a power control switch, and a power latch configured to latch an output of the power control switch. The sensor assembly also includes a power converter coupled to the power control switch. The power converter is configured to step down a voltage of the latched output of the power control switch for delivery of the latched output to one or more components of the sensor assembly. The power control switch is configured to inhibit consumption of power from the power source when the sensor assembly is in a pre-deployment state and output the latched output to the power converter in response to transition of the sensor assembly from the pre-deployment state to a deployed state.

  • Patent number: 12000424
    Abstract: An algorithm analyzes the motion of an object to determine if a switch needs to be activated or deactivated. Accelerometers measure forces exerted upon an object to determine orientation in pitch, roll, and yaw axes, and to determine motion of the object. When threshold conditions for these orientations and movements are measured, the method combines taking moving averages of pitch, roll, and yaw, and additionally accumulating an integral of yaw to determine if an activation or deactivation condition is met. Should an integral condition not be constantly met while the moving average conditions are being determined, the yaw integral counter resets and the whole process must begin again. This method balances most unintentional activation conditions with activation latency. Another methodology tracks the motion of a wrist flick, similar to casting a fishing line, using acceleration and deceleration parameters.

  • Patent number: 11996175
    Abstract: A process registers, at the user mobile computing device, one or more health-related documents for inclusion in a cloud-based digital health wallet. Furthermore, the process receives, at a user mobile computing device, a biometric identification input from the user for the registration of the one or more health-related documents. The process sends, from the user mobile computing device to a server computing device that stores the cloud-based digital health wallet, a first coded version of the biometric identification input for storage in a biometric validation data structure. Additionally, the process determines, at the user mobile computing device, a location of the user. Moreover, the process sends, from the user mobile computing device to the server computing device, a validation request at the location. The validation request includes a second coded version of a subsequently inputted biometric input from the user at the location.
