  • Patent number: 11809823
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided. A computing system collects information related to a patient's preparation for a medical procedure and provides information regarding the medical procedure and a medical condition of the patient to at least one member of a medical procedure team. Data pertaining to performance of the medical procedure in an operating room is collected from multiple sensors. Progress of the medical procedure is monitored in real time by analyzing the collected data, a procedure reference library, and a physician history to determine a status of the medical procedure. A schedule of one or more subsequent medical procedures for the operating room is adjusted in real time based on the monitored progress. Notifications of the adjusted schedule may be transmitted to participants of the one or more subsequent medical procedures.

  • Patent number: 11804304
    Abstract: Neurological abnormalities are often discovered through observation by health care providers, and/or parent report. Many neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD are purely identified through behavioral analysis, and cannot be screened for using a biomarker or quantitative stimulus-response test. Current screening tools contain subjective components based on parent report and clinician observation, vary in consistency of use across providers, and demands resources, knowledge, and access to skilled expertise. As a result, the only tests used today require lengthy and subjective behavioral analysis and often, miss or misidentify neurodevelopmental disorders contributing to a delayed diagnosis. The technology disclosed herein allow for a solution to this systemic problem.

  • Patent number: 11756686
    Abstract: A biometric computing system obtains, via an inertial sensor, time-based inertial measurement data with respect to a human subject located on-board an aircraft for each of a plurality of on-board sessions with one or more aircraft. The time-based inertial measurement data may be transformed for each on-board session to a common reference frame that is shared by the plurality of on-board sessions. The transformed data of the plurality of on-board sessions are combined to obtain a time-based inertial measurement profile for the human subject. The biometric computing system further obtains, via a range of motion sensor, force-based range of motion measurement data with respect to the human subject interacting with a physiological measurement device across a range of motion. The force-based range of motion measurement data is combined with the time-based inertial measurement profile for the human subject to obtain a combined measurement profile for the human subject.

  • Patent number: 11728029
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide various examples of a system for extracting an actual procedure duration composed of actual surgical tool-tissue interactions from an overall procedure duration of a surgical procedure on a patient. In one aspect, the system is configured to obtain the actual procedure duration by: obtaining an overall procedure duration of the surgical procedure; receiving a set of operating room (OR) data from a set of OR data sources collected during the surgical procedure, wherein the set of OR data includes an endoscope video captured during the surgical procedure; analyzing the set of OR data to detect a set of non-surgical events during the surgical procedure that do not involve surgical tool-tissue interactions; extracting a set of durations corresponding to the set of non-surgical events; and determining the actual procedure duration by subtracting the set of extracted durations from the overall procedure duration.

  • Patent number: 10977723
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to match content providers and interested content users are described. Input indicating an accessing of a network location by a user is received along with the user's identifier. The identifier is obfuscated and transmitted to a content provider configured to provide content to the user at the network location. A re-direct identifier is transmitted to the user instructing the user to directly contact the content provider. When the user contacts the content provider, the user transmits a provider-specific identifier by which the content provider identifies the user and the obfuscated user identifier. The content provider updates a database of obfuscated user identifiers and provider-specific user identifiers based on the received identifiers. Thus, the content provider is enabled to identify interested users based on obfuscated and provider-specific user identifiers.

  • Patent number: 10922720
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing delivery of content and tracking the same via audio cues. For example, a client computing device may monitor ambient sound for audio that matches audio sampled from broadcast content. In response to detecting matching audio, the client computing device transmits tracking data to a centralized content server. The content server records the tracking information and evaluates whether the matching audio was detected within a geographic area associated with the broadcast content. If so, the content server executes additional actions including transmitting supplemental content to the client computing device and/or updating summary level metrics that indicate receptions of broadcast content within target geographic locations.

  • Patent number: 10740800
    Abstract: An online system presents advertisements and content items to its users in a feed of content items (e.g., a newsfeed). The online system enforces one or more advertising policies regulating insertion of advertisements into the feed. For example, an advertising policy specifies a minimum distance between advertisements in the feed. Based on a likelihood of the user interacting with an advertisement, the online system may modify one or more of the advertising policies to increase a likelihood of the advertisement being included in the feed. For example, an advertising policy is modified if the user has at least a threshold likelihood of interacting with the advertisement. To modify an advertising policy, the online system may ignore the advertising policy when selecting content for the feed or may modify conditions limiting inclusion of advertisements in the feed specified by the advertising policy.
