Patent number: 11620565Abstract: A computer-implemented includes a computing system receiving one or more queries. The computing system includes one or more compute nodes that perform computations for determining a response to at least one query. The system stores, in a storage device, domain data that includes at least one of: a dataset, a metric associated with the domain data, a query time, or a usage pattern that is based, in part, on the one or more queries. The method includes the system generating a distribution model based on analysis of the domain data. The distribution model is generated using machine learning logic executed by the system. The method further includes the system using the distribution model to distribute data to the one or more compute nodes. The distributed data is used to determine, within a threshold response time, the response to the at least one query.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventor: Mir Tariq

Patent number: 11621081Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining data for a set of patients that each have a certain condition. A first and second sequence of data is determined based on the obtained data. A scoring model is generated by processing the first and second sequence of data to train a neural network. The scoring model determines a confidence that an individual has the particular healthcare condition. Patient scoring data is provided to the scoring model to determine the confidence that the individual has the healthcare condition. A confidence score is received as an output of the scoring model in response to providing the patient scoring data. The confidence score represents a determined confidence that the individual has the healthcare condition. An indication that represents the confidence that the individual has the healthcare condition is provided based on the received confidence score.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Michelle O'Keefe, Lucas Glass, Kristy Morgan, Yunlong Wang, Yuliya Nigmatullina, Yilian Yuan, Yong Cai, Fan Zhang, Chaitanya Alamuri

Patent number: 11615160Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for monitoring/tracking the lifecycle of a drug from build (e.g., as part of clinical trial development), to approval (e.g., regulatory), to in-market (e.g., distribution and safety information). The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology may enable the system to track the drug down to the prescription level and may support a digital label that can be updated as necessary based on such monitoring (e.g., that can be amended based on safety information detected while the drug is in market and warnings sent out upon amendment).Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Gary Shorter, Jaffershah Jahangeer

Patent number: 11615148Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a predictive system that obtains and processes data describing terms for different medical concepts to generate commands from a user query. An entity module of the system determines whether a term describes a medical entity associated with a healthcare condition affecting an individual. When the term describes the medical entity an encoding module links the medical entity with a specified category based on an encoding scheme. The system receives the user query. A parsing engine of the system uses the received query to generate a machine-readable command by parsing the query against terms that describe the medical entity and based on the encoding scheme for linking the medical entity to the specified category. The system uses the command to query different databases to obtain data for generating a response to the received query.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Nurlanbek Duishoev, Kristy Morgan, Joaquin Palancar Arbona, Lucas Glass, Shyam Sakhrani

Patent number: 11610690Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for responding to a query. In some implementations, a computer obtains a query. The computer determines a meaning for each term in the query. The computer determines user data for the user that submitted the query. The computer identifies one or more ontologies based on the meanings for at least some of the terms. The computer identifies a knowledge graph based on the identified ontologies and the user data. The computer generates a response to the query by traversing a path of the identified knowledge graph to identify items in the knowledge graph based on the determined meaning for each of the terms. The computer generates path data that represents the path taken by the computer through the identified knowledge graph. The computer provides the generated response and the path data to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Scott Josephson, Gary Shorter

Patent number: 11556840Abstract: A parser is deployed early in a machine learning pipeline to read raw data and collect useful statistics about the raw data's content to determine which items of raw data exhibit a proxy for feature importance for the machine learning model. The parser operates at high speeds that approach the disk's absolute throughput while utilizing a small memory footprint. Utilization of the parser enables the machine learning pipeline to receive a fraction of the total raw data that would otherwise be available. Several scans through the data are performed, by which proxies for feature importance are indicated and irrelevant features may be discarded and thereby not forwarded to the machine learning pipeline. This reduces the amount of memory and other hardware resources used at the server and also expedites the machine learning process.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Gwyn Rhys Jones, Nicola Lazzarini, Charikleia Eleftherochorinou, Karolina Katarzyna Dluzniak, Tomass Bernots

Patent number: 11526953Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described in this specification are embodied in systems and methods that utilize machine-learning techniques to evaluate clinical trial data using one or more learning models trained to identify anomalies representing adverse events associated with a clinical trial investigation. In some implementations, investigation data collected at a clinical trial site is obtained. A set of models corresponding to the clinical trial site is selected. Each model included in the set of models is trained to identify, based on historical investigation data collected at the clinical trial site, a distinct set of one or more indicators that indicate a compliance risk associated with the investigation data. A score for the clinical trial site is determined based on the investigation data relative to the historical investigation data. The score represents a likelihood that the investigation data is associated with at least one indicator representing the compliance risk.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Virupaxkumar Bonageri, Rajneesh Patil, Nithyanandan Thangavelu, Jian Huang, Vijay Pratap A
