  • Patent number: 11031103
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a health risk assessment system for adaptively and dynamically generating a personalized questionnaire for health risk assessment of a patient. A set of responses are analyzed and a patient is grouped to an initial group that matches a similar patient group. Utilizing the initial group, an initial question is selected to present to the patient. Responsive to receiving a current response to the initial question, the current response is analyzed, the patient is grouped to a next group, and a next question is identified and presented to the patient. The process continues until a last group is reached where a scoring of possible health risks associated with the patient is performed based on each response provided by the patient and identified groupings. A final possible health risk or ranked set of possible health risks is then presented based on the scoring.

  • Patent number: 10881463
    Abstract: Patient treatment may be optimized using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based state simulation and Reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to simulate future states and actions. A RNN state simulator and a RL action generator may be trained using patient data such as historical states and actions. The RL action generator may be optimized by applying the RNN state simulator to simulating future states and applying the RL action generator to generate recommended actions based on the simulated future states. This process may be iteratively performed until a computational convergence is reached by the RL action generator which may indicate that the RL action generator has been optimized. A patient state may be fed into the optimized RL action generator to generate an optimal recommended treatment action.
