US Patent:

20140031724, Jan 30, 2014

Filed:

Jun 18, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/920270

Inventors:

Randall Davis - Weston MA, US
Dana L. Penney - Weston MA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/11

US Classification:

600595

Abstract:

A method includes receiving data representing graphomotor motion during a succession of executions of graphomotor diagnostic tasks performed in a medical context by a subject, processing the received data using a computer, including determining a first set of quantitative features from a first execution of a task by the subject, and determining a second set of quantitative features from a second execution of a task by the subject, determining one or more metrics based on a comparison to the successive executions, including using at least the first set of quantitative features and the second set of quantitative features to determine said metrics, and providing a diagnostic report associated with neurocognitive mechanisms underlying the subject's execution of the tasks based on the determined metrics.

Appl. No.:

12/077730

Inventors:

Randall Davis - Weston MA, US
Dana L. Penney - Weston MA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/11
G06K 9/46

US Classification:

600595, 382107

Abstract:

Disclosed is an apparatus and corresponding method to capture individual representational motions made by a person while performing a neuropsychological test. A user of the apparatus and method may be allowed to view, edit, classify, and retrieve any captured and recorded motions made by the person. In one embodiment, a capture unit, such as a digitizer, captures the motions made by a person while performing a Clock Drawing Test, and the captured data may then be reported in a myriad of ways. The apparatus and method also provide a means to standardize administration and scoring of writing utensil and paper based neuropsychological testing administered to a person or control and test groups for domestic or international applications. By analyzing individual representational motions made by a person while performing a neuropsychological test, unexpectedly more information may be gleaned from the test than was available to physicians from only a completed drawing.

Appl. No.:

16/124689

Inventors:

Randall Davis - Weston MA, US
Catherine Medlock - Lexington MA, US
Bruce Musicus - Lexington MA, US
Alan V. Oppenheim - Cambridge MA, US
Dana L. Penney - Weston MA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
G06F 3/0488
G06F 3/0354
A61B 5/11
G16H 50/20

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting tremors in a subject. One method comprises receiving data from a digital device, the data comprising a plurality of digital device positions and a plurality of timestamps, each timestamp in the plurality of timestamps being associated with a digital device position in the plurality of digital device positions. The method further comprises determining a plurality of frequencies of hand movements of the subject based on the plurality of digital device positions and plurality of timestamps. The method further comprises determining a subportion of the data corresponding to frequencies of hand movements above a low tremor threshold, and determining a magnitude of tremors of the subject's hand based, at least in part, on the subportion of the data.
