A method, system, and device for providing assistance to patients with communication and memory impairment is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes creating a database comprising a plurality of information elements structured as a dependency tree, based on a first set of information corresponding to a plurality of events associated with a patient. The method further includes acquiring a second set of information associated with the patient in real time, matching the second set of information with each of the plurality of events in the database and with at least one information element associated with the at least one matching event, comparing the second set of information with the set of matching information elements to identify at least one discrepancy, and prompting the patient to perform at least one predetermined action in response to identifying the at least one discrepancy.

Method, system, and device for providing assistance to patients with communication and memory impairment

A computing system provides a reference image and a current image representing a territory at different times. The computing system determines a partition of the reference image into a first relevant portion and a first non-relevant portion and of the current image into a second relevant portion and a second non-relevant portion according to a partitioning rule. The computing system compares the second relevant portion of the current image with the first relevant portion of the reference image for determining one or more different regions of the current image with respect to the reference image. The computing system determines one or more critical regions of the current image corresponding to the one or more different regions according to a criticality rule. The computing system provides a notification based on the one or more critical regions for use in enforcing land use controls.

Comparison of relevant portions of images

A solution is proposed for analyzing an object. A corresponding method comprises providing one or more images of the objects (each comprising a plurality of cells containing corresponding values) to a computing system. The computing system retrieves a selected value reference and a selected shape reference for a selected characteristic of interest. The computing system identifies one or more areas of interest of the images according to the corresponding values matching the selected value reference and according to the corresponding cells matching the selected shape reference. A computer program product for performing the method and a corresponding system are also provided; moreover, a diagnostic method and a therapeutic method based on the same method are proposed.
