New versions of the Druid Benchmark app are made on a continuous basis. Improvements made since the project started on August 16, 2023, include changes to the user interface, modifications in how the impairment scores are presented and interpreted for the user, and anti-cheating measures.

The team at Kinto deployed the two main generative AI features to their production system where coaches can view strain assessment data and resource recommendations. The team also created a repeatable framework for extracting and anonymizing caregiver data sets from the Kinto platform on demand to provide training data sets for further testing and development of generative AI features at scale.
NIA-funded researchers have developed a low-cost, universal attachment that some people may be able to use with a smartphone to measure blood pressure from their fingertips. News of the device was published in Scientific Reports. Hand holds blood pressure device, pulse from finger of other hand is being measuredPrototype of the BPClip, courtesy of the Digital Health Lab/University of California, San Diego.University of California, San Diego researchers developed “BPClip” for at-home access to blood pressure monitoring, especially for people who find it difficult to access health care services. A plastic clip attaches to a smartphone camera and is used with a custom smartphone application to measure blood pressure from the pulse at the user’s fingertip as the finger presses into the clip. Other cuffless devices require calibration using blood pressure cuffs. BPClip does not —…

U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/479,181 - Edward Wang et al. - MECHANICAL ATTACHMENT FOR CAMERA-BASED BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING [SD2022-171-1; 009062-8489.US00]
Authors: Ziad A. Elhajjaji, Amar S. Basu Abstract Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a reduction in blood pressure and cerebral blood flow upon standing. Presenting in nearly 30% of older adults, OH is associated with increased fall risk and other co-morbidities. The clinical standard for monitoring OH, a blood pressure (BP) cuff, fails to capture initial orthostatic hypotension (IOH) and rapid hemodynamic changes during orthostasis. In contrast, cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and continuous BP requires costly instrumentation unsuitable for home monitoring. As result OH is often underdiagnosed and poorly managed. This paper proposes a novel method for monitoring OH using TRACE, a wireless earlobe sensor that quantifies orthostatic hypovolemia (OHV), postural orthostatic tachycardia (POT), and motion during a standup test. To our knowledge, OHV is a novel biometric that may be correlated with dizziness upon…
