  • Publication number: 20150106109
    Abstract: A computer-based system and method are provided for minimizing the overall cost of providing health care for a chronic disease. To do this, an operating point is selected on a ROC curve to classify patients in a defined population. Based on this classification, patients in the population are classified and placed on either of a pair of pathways for health care. One pathway involves relatively low-cost health care treatment, but potentially repetitive involvement with the patient. The other pathway involves relatively high-cost treatment, but only episodic involvement with the patient. Placement of each entity on a selected pathway is done to collectively minimize the overall cost of providing health care.

  • Patent number: 8424365
    Abstract: A method of operating a screening system includes applying an electromagnetic field to a subject in a region at least partially enclosed by electromagnetic shielding, and measuring an output from a sensor. The output is representative of an interaction of the electromagnetic field and the subject. A trace vapor is collected from the subject within the region, and the trace vapor is identified. Based on the measured sensor output and the identified trace vapor, whether a target material is associated with the subject is determined.
