Patent №: 12014500 (June 18, 2024) – Healthy-Selfie(TM): methods for remote medical imaging using a conventional smart phone or augmented reality eyewear. A method for remote medical imaging uses augmented reality (AR) on a patient’s smartphone or smart eyewear to guide device movement for capturing images of a wound or abnormality from various angles and distances. These images are then combined into a 3D digital image for medical diagnosis or treatment.
Patent №: 12013538 (June 18, 2024) –Augmented reality (AR) eyewear with a section of a fresnel reflector comprising individually-adjustable transmissive-reflective optical elements.
Augmented reality (AR) eyewear includes an array of optical elements with adjustable light transmission and reflectivity, controlled by electrical current or electromagnetic fields through electroconductive pathways. These elements form a section of a Fresnel Reflector, extracted from either the right or left side.
Kristopher Keith Gaudin
Future Mobility, Innovation, Telematics and Embedded Insurance expert passionate about building for the future. Licensed P&C producer.
Experienced Innovator and product manager with a history of results in the insurance and automotive industry. Specific experience in embedded insurance, future mobility, telematics, connected and autonomous vehicles, and smart home sensors.
Patent №: 12013246 (June 18, 2024) – Systems and methods of monitoring and analyzing multimodal transportation usage. Systems and methods for using multimodal transportation identify and compare available local options, such as vehicle-sharing, ridesharing, rentals, taxicabs, owned vehicles, and public transit. They recommend routes, facilitate scheduling and ticket purchasing, and collect user transportation data (with permission) via smartphones to improve recommendations. Risks and relevant factors are assessed based on user transportation patterns, creating a user transportation profile.
