Methods and apparatus for monitoring patients and delivering therapeutic stimuli
First Claim
1. A system comprising, in combination:
- (a) at least one wearable biosensor configured (i) for measuring physiological data and (ii) for wirelessly transmitting the data to a hub for direct or indirect transmission to a web server, which server is included in a set of one or more servers;
(b) the one or more servers;
wherein(i) the at least one biosensor includes a wireless module,(ii) the one or more servers are configured(A) to use a pattern recognition algorithm to recognize patterns in the data, and(B) based on a pattern in the data recognized by the algorithm, to output instructions for one or more transducers to produce psychologically therapeutic stimuli,(iii) the psychologically therapeutic stimuli comprise auditory, visual or audiovisual stimuli, and(iv) the one or more servers are further configured to perform machine learning to repeatedly update classifiers in a pattern recognition algorithm, which machine learning includes using data from the biosensor for training.

Abstract
In an exemplary implementation of this invention, a user wears comfortable biosensors. These sensors gather physiological data from the user and transmit this data to another radio-enabled device. This other device may be a mobile phone. The data is further transmitted, via this other radio-enabled device, to one or more networks (such as wireless networks or the Internet). A processor analyzes this transmitted data, in real time, to recognize patterns in the data that indicate the need for therapeutic intervention. Upon recognition of such a pattern, the processor outputs instructions for a transducer to deliver therapeutic stimuli. These instructions are transmitted, over one or more wired or wireless networks, to a transducer which delivers the therapeutic stimuli to the user.
