  • Patent number: 11457614
    Abstract: A system and associated methods use an animal harness attached to an animal to improve security at a location (e.g., a home, office, warehouse, etc.). The animal harness collects health status data of the animal, and the health status data is processed using one or more algorithms that detect changes in one or more of excitement, agitation, stress, and/or anxiety in the animal. These changes are interpreted, using a behavioral model of the animal, to determine whether the animal is witnessing a security event at the location, and when the health status data indicates the security event, the system may generate an alert. The behavioral model may be updated over time to improve performance of the algorithms to detect security events.

  • Patent number: 11443853
    Abstract: A system and method for creating and presenting a rolling severity of illness acuity score are comprised of two phases. The first phase analyzes historical physiologic and clinical data from a hospital's EMR system and discovers data patterns that presage a deleterious outcome. These data patterns are stored in a first database. Once these patterns have been revealed, the second phase involves embedding these patterns into a hospital's EMR, collecting data on new patients in near-real time, matching up this data against the patterns uncovered in Phase One, and producing a score based on how many of these deleterious patterns a patient is exhibiting. This score is updated continuously, weighting the current value higher than previous scores. If this rolling score surpasses a specific value, an alert is generated. The alert, in one example a color-coded signal, is then sent to a mobile device or tablet of the clinicians caring for the patient.

  • Patent number: 11416567
    Abstract: A computing entity storing a user profile data store and an informational content data store receives new event information corresponding to a user. The new event information is associated with a user identifier and is provided via user interaction with an interactive user interface (IUI). Using the user identifier, the computing entity identifies and accesses a user profile from the user profile data store that comprises profile information corresponding to the user. Based on the new event information and/or the profile information stored in the user profile, the computing entity prioritizes a plurality of informational content items stored in the informational content data store. Based on the prioritization of the plurality of informational content items, the computing entity selects one or more informational content items that are of high priority for the user and provides a selected informational content item for presentation to the user via the IUI.

  • Patent number: 11406788
    Abstract: The present technology relates to information processing apparatus and method, and a program that make a stress level controllable depending on circumstances. A stress level measuring unit measures a stress level of a user on the basis of a result of detection by various types of sensors included in an input unit. A stress factor specifying unit specifies a factor causing an increase or decrease in the stress level on the basis of an action of the user in a period in which the stress level is increased or decreased. The present technology is applicable to a stress control system, for example.
