Mobile health smartphone apps exist that connect to medical and biometric devices: vital signs, blood glucose, blood pressure, fingerprint.

Smartphones have their own sensors that can detect heart rate, pulse oximetry, voice stress and movement.

The FDA is beginning to regulate smartphone apps just like any other medical devices and clamped down on apps that claim to treat acne.

Since 2007, Exmovere has developed biosensor-based emotion detection applications for automotive and flight simulations inferfaces.

Those systems relied on embedded sensors inside a vehicle or within the controls of a simulator.

Thanks to the microphone, XYZ accelerometer, temperature sensors, GPS and access to behavioral data, Exmovere has been able to condense the technology into a simple app.

Kenji is an ad supported smartphone app that tracks behavior, environmental changes and asks physiology-related questions of its user.

Kenji learns to guess its user's emotional states over time and provides a range of possible feedback, including pain management exercises and suggesting local restaurant deals.

Kenji is a virtual life coach that loves its user and intuits how to provide positive reinforcement.

Exmovere is developing “for prescription only” versions of Kenji based on a recurring monthly fee model.

Kenji for: addiction, pain management, insomnia, schizophrenia, smoking cessation, etc.

Feedback features would be controlled and calibrated by a physician.

Data alerts and reports would be tailored for oversight of medication use.

E M O T I O N S ? Emotions are psychological processes manifested in

physiological changes.

Physiological changes can be detected with sensors: electrodermal, ECG, EEG, EMG, temp, etc.

People can learn to perceive and report changes in posture, appetite, pain, saliva acidity, fatigue, etc.

Kenji uses a combination of sensing and user reporting to “guess” emotions as accurately and genuinely as possible.

K E N J I R X A P P L I E D

Replace traditional pain management journals.

Provide remote patient monitoring for active, un-tetherable adults.

Bring physicians into social networking where teams need to handle individual patient cases.

Enhance EMR's with meaningfully sensed and reported data by patients themselves.

N E X T S T E P S

FDA Approval, peer-reviewed clinical studies.

Compliance with HIPAA.

Partnership with drug manufacturers.

Development for Droid to ensure as much sensor and user behavioral data access as possible.

Informed consent by patients that they will be giving up privacy to their physicians in return for more trust from and better care by their physicians.
