This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,349.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

An innovative system for evaluating neurological function, featuring a wearable computing device and a neurological test apparatus with a moveable platform, enabling real-time feedback and enhanced user experience during cognitive and neuromotor tests.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a system for evaluating neurological function using a computing device and a test fixture. However, this system had limitations in terms of user experience, mobility, and real-time feedback. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a wearable computing device and a moveable platform with apertures, enabling real-time feedback and enhancing the overall testing experience.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The advanced neurological test system consists of a wearable computing device and a neurological test apparatus. The apparatus features a moveable platform with a two-dimensional or three-dimensional array of apertures extending through the platform, designed to receive and retain contact members. The wearable computing device is configured to detect the contact members and provide real-time feedback to the user during a cognitive and/or neuromotor test. The system can also be integrated with a cloud-based server to enable remote testing and data analysis. The moveable platform allows for greater flexibility and ease of use, while the wearable computing device and real-time feedback enhance the overall user experience.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept introduces several novel features, including the use of a wearable computing device, a moveable platform with apertures, and real-time feedback during cognitive and neuromotor tests. These features, combined with the ability to integrate with a cloud-based server, provide a significant improvement over the original patent and represent a non-obvious advancement in the field of neurological testing.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different types of wearable computing devices, such as smartwatches or augmented reality glasses. Additionally, the moveable platform could be designed with different aperture configurations or materials to accommodate various testing scenarios. The system could also be adapted for use in different environments, such as clinical settings or remote testing locations.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The advanced neurological test system has significant commercial potential in the healthcare and medical device industries. The system's ability to provide real-time feedback and enhance the user experience could make it an attractive option for clinicians and researchers conducting cognitive and neuromotor tests. Additionally, the system's remote testing capabilities could expand its market reach, enabling testing in a wider range of settings and locations.
