20120209081 | METHOD OF PREVENTING PATIENT INJURY - This invention relates to administering a test to an incoming patient to determine that patient's ability to delay gratification and resist impulses, and thereafter grouping the patient into a high risk or low risk group. The patients in the high risk group are thereafter attended to at a greater frequency as it has been determined that the patient cannot effectively delay gratification and resist impulses. The preferred embodiment of this invention uses the Stroop Neuropsychological Screening Test to identify which patients cannot effectively delay gratification. Patients in the high risk group may be toileted more frequently to eliminate the impulse to move around the facility to remove bladder or bowel pressure. | 08-16-2012 |
20120287404 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REHABILITATING VISUAL DEFECTS - The present invention relates to a method of customizing a lens system with selective application of a translucent colored material to stimulate alternative visual pathways and restore vision in the defective areas. The placement of the translucent colored material is based on the results of a visual field examination to determine the areas of visual defect and the areas of normal vision. The lens system is then placed adjacent to the patient's eyes such that the areas of normal vision see through the translucent filter to receive visual information. | 11-15-2012 |
