In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an athleticism rating method for normalizing and more accurately comparing overall athletic performance of at least two athletes. Each athlete completes at least two different athletic performance tests. Each test is designed to measure a different athletic skill that is needed to compete effectively in a defined sport. The results from each test for a given athlete are normalized by comparing the test results to a database providing the distribution of test results among a similar class of athletes and then assigning each test result a point number based on that test result's percentile among the distribution of test results. Combining the point numbers derived from the at least two different athletic performance tests for an athlete produces an athleticism rating score representing the overall athleticism of each athlete.

The present invention provides methods and systems or apparatuses, to analyze multiple molecular and clinical variables from an individual diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in order to optimize medication selection for therapeutic response.

A system and method for comprehensive automated call center customer / agent interaction monitoring and service level agreement (SLA) compliance. The system reduces a massive volume of call center activity into readable data points and SLA metrics for measuring agent and overall call center performance levels. The system allows for the scaling up of the SLA compliance process, which is currently done manually by quality assurance personnel for a limited sample set. With the system, customer calls are computationally sampled for speaker diarization and voice isolation, speech emotion recognition, unique salient feature extraction, reference pattern template matching, and automatic speech recognition. The system is adaptively programmable for recognizing and predicting SLA metrics such as: customer satisfaction, issue resolution, appropriate agent greeting and identification, customer understanding, acknowledgment, abandonment, sales attempts, and customer retention, etc. Rating scores are assigned to SLA metrics by intelligent speech emotion pattern recognition and machine learning algorithm. The system provides for cost-effective SLA metrics and quality assurance at scale, with agent performance statistics, customer satisfaction data, and additional insights, via system generated reports and live activity streams.
