Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a sensor device configured to sense a property of a mammal without physically touching the mammal; a signal generator configured to generate a signal indicative of the sensed property of the mammal; a patient confirmation device configured to confirm that the signal indicative of the sensed property of the mammal was originated in response to the mammal; a feature interpretation device configured to generate data indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal in response to the signal indicative of the property of the mammal; a treatment decision device configured to determine in response to the data indicative of a physiological characteristic of the mammal a neuromodulation treatment regimen for administration to a nervous system component of the mammal; wherein the patient confirmation device is further configured to authorize administration of the neuromodulation treatment regimen to the mammal in response to confirmation that the signal indicative of the sensed property of the mammal was originated in response to the mammal; and a patient records device configured to store information corresponding to the determined neuromodulation treatment regimen in a computer-readable medium and to provide electronic access to the stored information.
