  • Publication number: 20240053307
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement a repetitive portion identification and weighting engine. A machine learning model is trained for weighting repetitive portions of patient electronic medical records (EMRs). A repetitive portion identification component applies a plurality of templates to clinical notes of a patient EMR to identify one or more candidate portions that match at least one of the plurality of templates. A content analysis component performs content analysis on the one or more candidate portions to determine whether each given candidate portion is relevant. A weighting component assigns a relative weight to each given candidate portion based on relevance.

  • Publication number: 20230197230
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adverse reaction detection. An electronic input is received, the electronic input comprising a drug and outcome pair. The drug and outcome pair is classified as having one of a positive control and a negative control and a probability measure of an adverse drug event relation is determined based on results of the classification. A neural network is trained to jointly leverage reported drug, outcome information and a heterogenous semantic hierarchy, and the classification of a candidate drug is performed using the trained neural network.

  • Publication number: 20230047800
    Abstract: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted curation of non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) data from heterogeneous data sources. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component and a change detection component. The extraction component can extract candidate non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) events from data associated with a defined disease. The change detection component can evaluate the candidate NPI events for inclusion in a dataset storing NPI events in a defined format.

  • Patent number: 11308283
    Abstract: Text data including at least named entities can be received. From the named entities, continuous entities, overlapping entities and disjoint entities can be identified. The overlapping entities can be transformed into continuous entities. The continuous entities, the transformed entities and the disjoint entities can be encoded. The encoded entities can be input to a machine learning language model to train the machine learning model to predict candidate entities. The predicted entities can be decoded to reconstruct the predicted entities.

  • Patent number: 11289204
    Abstract: Automatic determination of underlying reasons for lack of treatment adherence is provided. In various embodiments, patient information for a patient is retrieved. The patient information comprises a treatment plan. A failure of compliance with the treatment plan by the patient is determined from the patient information. The failure of compliance and the patient information are evaluated to determine one or more potential cause of the failure of compliance. The one or more potential cause is provided to a user for review.

  • Patent number: 11081215
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods, systems, and computer program products for generating a medical problem list. A non-limiting example of the method includes receiving, by a processor, a plurality of disease categories. A disease category set that includes a plurality of top level disease categories is defined using the processor, wherein the disease category set is based at least in part upon the plurality of disease categories. The processor is used to extract a plurality of candidate training problems from an electronic patient record training set. The processor is used to assign each of the candidate training problems to the plurality of top level disease categories. The processor is used to generate a disease category model for each of the top level disease categories from the electronic patient record training set using a machine learning technique.

  • Publication number: 20190333276
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for implementing an augmented reality display via a head mounted display (HMD) system that indicates areas of a patient's body corresponding to a medical condition and/or treatment of the patient overlayed on the actual view of the patient. A real-time image of an area of a patient's body being viewed by a medical professional is captured via the HMD system. One or more body parts of the patient are identified within the real-time image. The one or more identified body parks are correlated with the patient's electronic medical records (EMRs) indicating the medical condition and/or treatments associated with the patient. An augmented reality display is then generated in the HMD system of one or more areas of the patient's body corresponding to the medical condition and/or treatment of the patient overlaying the real-time image of the area of the patient's body.
