An integrated subject monitoring system facilitates measurement, collection and analysis of data pertaining to the health status of a subject. The system includes a network-coupled computer and subsystems monitoring subject location within a defined space and the curtilage thereof and obtaining measurements of a subject's physiological or behavioral / cognitive parameters within the defined space. Parameter data is obtained primarily passively, without the cooperation or active participation of the subject. A method of monitoring the physiological and behavioral / cognitive health status of an ambulatory subject involves monitoring in a primarily passive fashion, irrespective of the active collaboration of the subject. Subject health indicia parameters are continuously monitored, sampled and recorded. Captured values are compared to initial baseline values established for each of the measured parameters as well as to the trend for the parameter of that subject. Readings falling outside the boundaries trigger a signal to be sent to an appropriate party.

An apparatus, module, methods and systems for automated, standardized assessment and analysis of a human olfactory system's odor detection ability as an indicator or predictor of cognitive impairment or change in cognitive health, and other health conditions such as diabetes. Notably, the present invention is operable for use across all age groups of humans and provides quantitative detection and analysis of a human olfactory system's detection ability compared to a relevant demographic population.

Systems and methods are provided for performing neurometric evaluation of Quantitative Electro Encephalogram (QEEG) data, derived from Dry Sensor technology, as opposed to the use of any types of conventional paste / gel and silver / silver chloride sensors. The individuals who would be helped by these screening procedures are identified.

An improved system for assessing cognitive function is described that uses tracked electrical activity of the brain of the individuals in response to a specific sequence of stimuli in generating data sets, which, for example, can be encapsulated as a data structure. The data sets can include tracked specific response types, at different times and amplitudes, including, but not limited to, event related potential signal components. Brainwave features including, event related potentials, are tracked in relation to both pre-attentive brain responses and consciously controlled attention responses.

The invention relates to bacteria of the species Lactobacillus paracasei and / or compositions comprising Lactobacillus paracasei for use in preventing and / or treating a mental illness, a symptom affecting mental health and / or a condition associated with chronic stress, in a mammal. The invention further relates to methods and uses of said bacteria of the species Lactobacillus paracasei and / or compositions. The invention can be applied in restoring, maintaining, and / or promoting mental (including cognitive) health and has potential applications, inter alia, in the area of dietary and food supplements, medicaments and pharmaceuticals.

A novel grape seed extract is enriched in procyanidins, has total polyphenols of less than 70%, and has a low degree of polymerization (dp). Other fractions of the extract have minimal polyphenols, fiber, and protein, but contain more than 90% sugars. In some specific examples, the individual extracts are obtained by sequential ultrafiltration of a water extract of the grape seeds. A first ultrafiltration provides a first permeate (Fraction A) enriched in sugars which is useful as a flavorant, and a first retentate. The first retentate is reconstituted and subjected to a second ultrafiltration at a higher molecular weight cutoff to produce a second permeate (Fraction B) that is enriched in low molecular weight polyphenols, and a second retentate (Fraction C) that is enriched in seed fiber. The Fractions are individually suitable for different nutraceutical products, or can be combined with each other in any combination and / or with other nutraceutical agents to enhance vascular and cognitive health.

The invention relates to bacteria of the species Lactobacillus paracasei and / or compositions comprising Lactobacillus paracasei for use in preventing and / or treating a mental illness, a symptom affecting mental health and / or a condition associated with chronic stress, in a mammal. The invention further relates to methods and uses of said bacteria of the species Lactobacillus paracasei and / or compositions. The invention can be applied in restoring, maintaining, and / or promoting mental (including cognitive) health and has potential applications, inter alia, in the area of dietary and food supplements, medicaments and pharmaceuticals.

Formulations are disclosed that contain one or more prebiotics and one or more probiotics. The formulations of the present invention may be used as a supplement that is also a sweetener. The supplement may be useful for anti-aging and / or anti-oxidant properties, increasing mental faculties and / or a decreasing cognitive decline, antibacterial properties, cardiovascular health properties, digestive health benefits such as being effective against irritable bowel syndrome, cognitive health benefits, mental health benefits, anti-inflammatory activity, dry skin treatment, and other benefits.

Methods, compositions, and systems are provided for detecting one or more a cognition health issues by characterizing the microbiome of an individual, monitoring such effects, and / or determining, displaying, or promoting a therapy for the cognition health issue. Methods, compositions, and systems are also provided for generating and comparing microbiome composition and / or functional diversity datasets. Methods, compositions, and systems are also provided for generating a characterization model and / or therapy model for insomnia issues, light sleep issues, headache issues, sinusitis issues, and poor concentration issues.

A composition comprising Lactobacillus plantarum for preventing and / or treating mental illness, symptoms affecting mental health and / or conditions associated with chronic stress in a mammal is disclosed. The composition can be used in restoring, maintaining, and / or promoting mental (including cognitive) health and has potential applications, inter alia, in the area of a dietary and food supplement and a medicament.

The utility usage of a particular individual occupying a residence may give insight into the individual's current cognitive health and / or to enable provision of various services within the facility for the individual, particularly when monitoring patterns in utility usage over time. To enable accurate and non-invasive utility monitoring, a single-point utility sensor may be secured relative to a utility supply line, and generated signals may be utilized to monitor utility usage and to distinguish between utility fixtures. A centralized computing entity may identify frequency characteristics within the generated data, and may automatically generate one or more machine-learning algorithms to distinguish between utility usage events, without requiring substantial user input.

Formulations are disclosed that contain one or more prebiotics and one or more probiotics. The formulations of the present invention may be used as a supplement that is also a sweetener. The supplement may be useful for anti-aging and / or anti-oxidant properties, increasing mental faculties and / or a decreasing cognitive decline, antibacterial properties, cardiovascular health properties, digestive health benefits such as being effective against irritable bowel syndrome, cognitive health benefits, mental health benefits, anti-inflammatory activity, dry skin treatment, and other benefits.

A system that provides an interface layer through which communications to users can be normalized by making consistent the value-reads (e.g., format) of the communications. The information or message inputted into the system can be used in each aspect of the system to personalize the user's experience. Also, when the system receives information / signals from the user himself / herself (e.g., time it takes to read or transmit a message, choice of communication, etc.), the system can adapt the user's experience to the user's cognitive wellness. The system includes normalization of messages for message aggregation and message distribution.
