    Abstract: Methods for gradually exposing a subject to a fear comprising: adapting a virtual reality scenario to expose the subject to the fear by gradually transforming one or more of objects from a first state to a second state, the second state of the object provoking an increase of the fear, and wherein the transforming one or more of the objects take place only if the following two conditions are fulfilled: a time condition specifying an amount of time from the previous increase of fear, and the object is in a peripheral field of vision of the subject as derived from the orientation of the head mounted device. A computer program and computing systems for gradually exposing a subject to a fear are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A system for collecting bioinformatic data includes an array of micro/nano electro-mechanical system (MEMS/NEMS) sensors arranged on an article such that the array of MEMS/NEMS sensors are positioned within an acceptable range of a gas source of a subject. Each MEMS/NEMS sensor is configured to generate a signal based on a concentration of one or more gaseous biomarkers within a gas emitted from the subject. The system includes a preprocessor coupled with the array of MEMS/NEMS sensors and configured to generate one or more indicators based on the signal from each of a plurality of the MEMS/NEMS sensors. The system includes a computing device comprising one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions and one or more processors, individually or in combination, configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the computing device to apply the one or more indicators to a model to output a health status of the subject.

    Abstract: The disclosed system relates to the diagnosis and correction of autonomic nervous system imbalance through the recognition and improvement of parasympathetic tone of a user using paced breathing and vibratory neuromodulation. The system includes a wearable IBI detector, software for analyzing PSD data and determining recommended therapy, a vibratory stimulator, and optional smart phone guidance. The IBI detector reads the pulsatile waveform to produce IBI data that is used to compute PSD data. The PSD data is analyzed for ANS imbalance indicators and therapy is recommended based on continuously updated information stored in a database. Results from application of recommended therapy are stored and shared and can be used to build a personalized training regime to strengthen parasympathetic tone.
