For Parkinson's patients to function at their best, their medications need to be optimally adjusted to the diurnal variation of symptoms. For this to occur, it is important for the managing clinician to have an accurate picture of how the patient's bradykinesia/hypokinesia and dyskinesia and the patient's perception of movement state fluctuate throughout the normal daily activities. The present invention uses wearable accelerometers coupled with computer implemented learning and statistical analysis techniques in order to classify the movement states of Parkinson's patients and to provide a timeline of how the patients fluctuate throughout the day.

The disclosed invention is a patient monitoring system that employs a pressure sensitive pad. The pad is placed beneath a patient who is lying in bed or sitting in a chair. When weight is removed from the pad, an alarm is given. The pad comprises an upper layer of circuitry and a lower layer of circuitry. When the respective layers of circuitry are in contact, the alarm remains off, but when the layers of circuitry become separated, the alarm is given. This invention is generally for use in hospitals and nursing homes to alert caregivers when a patient falls out of a bed or a wheelchair; or if a patient otherwise leaves a bed or chair against the wishes of the caregiver. This situation is of special concern with elderly patients, post operational patients, and/or at night when nursing staffs are reduced.

A method for treating attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) includes performing an objective ADHD behavioral assay for a patient, administering a drug to the patient at varying doses, and performing an fMRI on the patient for the varying drug doses to determine an optimal dosage for the patient.

The psycho/physiological deception detection (PDDS) is a system and method employing PDDS tools to ensure patient truthfulness while conducting a patient interview to assess the severity of pain suffered by the patient and to assess the risk that the patient will divert controlled substances prescribed for the patient to an illicit use. The patient is monitored using the PDDS tool while making an oral response (either live or off-site) to each question in the interview, and a response and a measure of truthfulness of the patient generated from the PDDS monitoring is correlated with each question. Deceptive responses may be probed by asking refining questions to explore possible innocent explanation for a deceptive response. Based on the patient's responses and the indication of truthfulness for each response, a report is generated from which the patient's risk for diverting prescribed medication and the patient's severity of pain may be assessed.

An appliance, a system and a method correct habits of an oral cavity of a patient. The appliance is preformed or is custom-made in an open position or in a closed position. The appliance prevents the patient from breathing through an oral cavity of the patient and encourages the patient to breathe through a nose of the patient. The appliance corrects abnormal swallowing patterns, finger sucking habits, thumb sucking habits, abnormal tongue posturing, abnormal lip posturing and/or speech problems. A slot is formed on a top portion of the appliance to receive teeth of the patient for wearing the appliance. A shelf is formed on a bottom portion of the appliance to move a tongue of the patient to a correct position within the oral cavity during swallowing movements and/or during resting periods between the swallowing movements since there is more room above the shelf from a hollow area above of the shelf which is more comfortable for the patient. First projections are formed on the appliance which may contact the tongue to move the tongue to the correct position within the oral cavity. Second projections are formed on the appliance which may contact the tongue to prevent tongue thrusting by the tongue during the resting periods and/or during the swallowing movements. Third projections are formed on the appliance to move lips to a closed position during resting periods and/or the swallowing movements.

A person who is elderly, requires care, or an inpatient who is under the care by his or her family members, a nursing care worker, or a nurse in a hospital or medical institution must be monitored constantly, however the caregiver cannot be in attendance on the patient all the time. A biosignal intensity measuring method is provided to solve the above problem. According to the measuring method, output signals from a noninvasive sensor, which detects biosignals from a lying subject, are amplified and noises other than the biosignals are attenuated via a signal amplifying/shaping unit, and the amplified signals are controlled by an automatic gain control (AGC) unit to have sizes within a prescribed range, then parameters acquired by signal gains in a control circuit upon carrying out automatic gain control are output as the output signal intensity of the biosignals to calculate biosignal intensity. A bedding state monitoring method is also provided. According to the monitoring method, the calculated signal intensity is used to monitor the bedding state of the subject, such as a state of being in or out of bed, of weakening or stoppage of biosignals, of body motion, or the like.
