Abstract

A system and method for algorithmically modifying, in real-time, one or more graphical user elements of an end user application for a SaMD or DHI product/platform. The method may enable real-time modification of a graphical user interface in response to determining that one or more user-generated responses in response to one or more CSIs are reflective of a targeted stimulus-response pattern. The targeted stimulus-response pattern may reflect a threshold of active therapeutic delivery for the SaMD or DHI to the end user. The method of algorithmically modifying the one or more graphical user elements may include rendering new elements or modifying existing elements, including changing the color of existing elements, for only the time period when the user-generated responses are reflective of the targeted stimulus-response pattern and/or for a pre-determined period of time before and/or after the user-generated responses are reflective of the targeted stimulus-response pattern.

Core Innovation

The invention provides a computer-implemented method for modifying a graphical user interface at an end user device by presenting an instance of an end user application. The end user application includes a graphical user interface and one or more computerized stimuli or interactions comprising at least one computerized task, and the method receives, via at least one input device, a plurality of user-generated responses in response to the one or more computerized stimuli or interactions.

The method determines at least one performance measure for the end user based on the plurality of user-generated responses. In response to determining the performance measure, the method modifies one or more graphical elements of the graphical user interface, including rendering a portion of the graphical user interface in grayscale while maintaining a sub-portion in color.

The sub-portion includes one or more therapeutically active elements associated with the at least one computerized task, and the portion rendered in grayscale includes one or more therapeutically inactive elements or ornamental elements associated with the at least one computerized task. Further disclosed aspects describe analyzing responses according to a predetermined stimulus-response framework or algorithm and correlating performance measures to a threshold of active therapeutic delivery to drive time-near-threshold/time-at-threshold behavior and related graphical updates.

Additional disclosed behavior includes baseline and challenge training regimes using single tasking versus multitasking/concomitant baseline performance measures, with incremental threshold increases. Graphical elements are modified to indicate achievement of performance thresholds, and the graphical user interface is restored to a prior state after an active therapeutic period.

Claims Coverage

The document includes three independent claims (a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium). Each independent claim centers on performance-measure-based graphical user interface modification with a grayscale-versus-color rendering distinction for therapeutically active versus therapeutically inactive or ornamental elements, and the remaining claim scope aligns around the same core operations of presenting stimuli/tasks, receiving responses, and determining and using performance measures.

Grayscale rendering with therapeutically active color sub-portion

Modifying one or more graphical elements of the graphical user interface comprises rendering a portion of the graphical user interface in grayscale while maintaining a sub-portion of the graphical user interface in color; the sub-portion comprises one or more therapeutically active elements associated with the at least one computerized task; and the portion rendered in grayscale comprises one or more therapeutically inactive elements or ornamental elements associated with the at least one computerized task.

Performance-measure-based GUI modification from user responses to computerized tasks

Receiving a plurality of user-generated responses in response to one or more computerized stimuli or interactions comprising at least one computerized task, determining at least one performance measure for the end user based on the plurality of user-generated responses, and modifying one or more graphical elements of the graphical user interface in response to determining the at least one performance measure for the end user.

Predetermined stimulus-response framework analysis for user responses

Analyzing a plurality of user-generated responses using at least one processor according to a predetermined stimulus-response framework or algorithm to determine performance measures.

Correlating performance measure to a threshold of active therapeutic delivery

Correlating at least one performance measure to a threshold of active therapeutic delivery to the end user within an instance of the end user application.

Restoring the graphical user interface to a prior state

Restoring a graphical user interface to a prior state after modifying graphical elements.

Across the independent claims, the scope is anchored on determining at least one performance measure from user-generated responses to computerized stimuli/tasks and modifying one or more graphical elements accordingly, with a specifically defined rendering structure that keeps therapeutically active elements in color while rendering therapeutically inactive or ornamental elements in grayscale. Dependent claim coverage further adds a predetermined stimulus-response framework, correlates performance measures to a threshold of active therapeutic delivery, and restores the graphical user interface to a prior state after modification.
