Electronically initiating an administration of a neuromodulation treatment regimen chosen in response to contactlessly acquired information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- acquiring electronic data indicative of a property of a mammal without making physical contact with the mammal;
extracting digital information indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal from the electronic data indicative of the property of the mammal;
choosing from an electronically accessible treatment database a neuromodulation treatment regimen for administration to a patient mammal based on the information indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal;
determining that the mammal and the patient mammal have a substantial probability of being the same mammal; and
electronically initiating an administration of the chosen neuromodulation treatment regimen to a nervous system component of the mammal only if it is determined that the mammal and the patient mammal have the substantial probability of being the same mammal.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes acquiring electronic data indicative of a property of a mammal without making physical contact with the mammal. The method also includes extracting digital information indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal from the electronic data indicative of the property of the mammal. The method further includes choosing from an electronically accessible treatment database a neuromodulation treatment regimen for administration to the mammal in response to the information indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal. The method also includes electronically initiating an administration of the chosen neuromodulation treatment regimen to a nervous system component of the mammal.

26. A system comprising:
-
means for acquiring electronic data indicative of a property of a mammal without making physical contact with the mammal; means for extracting information indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal from the electronic data indicative of the property of the mammal; means for choosing based on the information indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal and from an electronically readable treatment database a neuromodulation treatment regimen for administration to a patient mammal; means for determining that the mammal and the patient mammal have a substantial probability of being the same mammal; and means for automatically initiating an administration of the neuromodulation treatment regimen to a nervous system component of the mammal only if it is determined that the mammal and the patient mammal have the substantial probability of being the same mammal, the neuromodulation treatment regimen being chosen from the electronically readable treatment database. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
