  • Publication number: 20240120104
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for scheduling appointments based on changing health conditions of users. The method includes inputting the initial health dataset of a user to a machine learning model configured to identify other users with similar health profiles. A frequency of monitoring, a frequency of appointments, a duration between the appointments, or a type and length of the appointments is determined to generate a schedule of appointments. A subsequent health dataset of the user is received, and health scores, rule scores, or medication scores for the user are determined based on the subsequent health dataset. A plurality of risk scores for the user is evaluated based on the health scores, rule scores, or medication scores. A recent risk score is determined based on a change in the plurality of risk scores. The schedule of appointments is adjusted based on the recent risk score and the user is notified.

  • Patent number: 11823782
    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer program products that administer pain management treatments remotely, according to a dynamic prescription. In some embodiments, the dynamic prescription provides for changes in a dosage of a medication or electrical stimulation, based for instance upon changes in the patient's pain tolerance level, biological indicators, or behavioral characteristics. In some embodiments, if it is determined that a dosage change is needed, the dosage change can be compared against the dynamic prescription to determine whether the dosage change is permitted within the scope of the dynamic prescription. In some embodiments, if the dosage change is determined to be outside what is permitted by the scope of the dynamic prescription, the updated dosage information can be provided to the patient's physician for authorization of the updated dosage.
