Coverage: Partial inventor search

Six additional representative groups cover five ContinUse Biometrics inventions and the Bar-Ilan/Universitat de Valencia monitoring continuation chain. US9636041B2 is an inspected parent of US10398314B2 and intentionally grouped, with both inventor lists retaining Nisim Nisan Ozana. Related earlier US9668672B2 does not list Ozana and is excluded. Original remote-monitoring US20210063563A1 remains; search-located grant US11977148B2 omitted. Harvard/MGH-era short-name queries did not produce a new inspected patent; they are not an audited absence result.

Original report snapshot

Original evidence: verified record

One attributable US publication was inspected under the fuller inventor spelling Nisim Nisan Ozana; this is not a legal-ownership assessment.[43]

Records are counted separately from identified families. Author-reported entries are labelled and may still need publication verification. Inventorship, publication-time applicant and current ownership are different facts. No legal-status, patentability or freedom-to-operate conclusion is made.

Scores prioritize research fit from 1–10; they are not probabilities.

Review: Reviewed with limitations

Proposed capability matches, not confirmed relationships. Scores are analyst judgments with low forecast confidence; researcher interests, capacity and feasibility need confirmation.

Why this rank

Rank 1/10; fit 10/10 (4 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 3 feasible first test). New pairing outside the frozen portfolio co-member graph. The simulation must use an explicit optical forward model before physiology is inferred. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.

Why this rank

Rank 2/10; fit 9/10 (3 topic overlap + 3 complementarity + 3 feasible first test). Preserved original co-membership proposal in o05. An added candidate, Amir Weiss (10/10), ranks above this original because its stated pair-specific roles and first test score higher; this original is limited as follows: A physiologically meaningful reference is needed before interpreting calibrated signal estimates as clinical performance. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.

Conditions

Analyst proposal hypothesis, not an established collaboration, commitment, evidence-confidence rating or assessment of researcher quality; confirm participation and access before work. Original initiative conditions remain: o05 Nisan Ozana: Conditional role: assess readout feasibility only if a defined optical/acoustic observable maps to the target functional signal in the chosen culture model. o05 Jacob Goldberger: Conditional later role: evaluate uncertainty after a reference dataset and transparent signal-analysis baseline exist.

An added candidate, Amir Weiss (10/10), ranks above this original because its stated pair-specific roles and first test score higher; this original is limited as follows: Shared brain monitoring supports topic fit, but modality alignment and separate human-study approval limit immediate feasibility. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.

Orit Shefi

An added candidate, Amir Weiss (10/10), ranks above this original because its stated pair-specific roles and first test score higher; this original is limited as follows: The original optical role is retained at low feasibility because blood-flow expertise may not transfer to an avascular culture model. No automatic score boost for original membership. Equal scores use existing-first, then stable researcher ID.

Evidence & open questions

Inspect claim ratings and independent review

Nisan Ozana's documented expertise includes optical-acoustical neuroimaging, cerebral blood-flow sensing and single-photon instrumentation. [41][42][43]

High confidenceReview: reviewed

A current CV and full patent portfolio were not reviewed.

Review record
  • profiles_c: supports. The profile supports cerebral blood-flow sensing and brain-focused optical methods; the lab list identifies the single-photon work, and the patent record independently confirms Ozana's remote-monitoring inventorship.

Hypothesis: Ozana could lead a hybrid optical-acoustic bedside monitor for cerebral perfusion. [41][44]

Low confidenceReview: reviewed

Depth, calibration, motion and clinical utility remain unproven.

Review record
  • profiles_c: supports. Ozana's optical-acoustical neuroimaging scope and Boas's neurophotonics, fNIRS and neurovascular-coupling work support the bedside-monitor hypothesis. Clinical utility remains explicitly unproven.
