Patent number: 11810666Abstract: An example system includes a processor to assign a first medical exam to a first examiner based on a workload availability threshold for the first examiner and an examiner availability indicator for the first examiner. The processor can deliver the first medical exam to one of a reading tool displayed via a first graphical user interface or an examiner work queue displayed via a second graphical user interface. The processor can automatically adjust a workload availability threshold for a second examiner and the first examiner based on a first adjustment, assign a second medical exam to the first examiner or the second examiner based on the respective adjusted work availability thresholds for the first examiner and the second examiner, and auto-serve additional medical exams to the first examiner or the second examiner based on a priority level of the additional medical exams.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Eric Jester, Arun Viswanath, Madhu Seepani, Shaoyu Feigler, Jeff Chu, Jiaohuan Wang, Vineet Ahuja, Brittany Johnson, Charlotte Shelton, Rhonda Eckstein

Publication number: 20210307443Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing training opportunities based on data collected from monitoring a physiological parameter of persons engaged in physical activity. The physical activity can be a sporting activity, such as a contact sport (e.g., football, hockey, lacrosse) or a recreational activity or sport (e.g., biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, motorsports). The system is configured with select components that perform a method of (i) recording data related to a physiological parameter of a person engaged in a physical activity (e.g., an impact received by a player engaged in a contact sport), (ii) analyzing the recorded data related to the physiological parameter while the person is engaged in a physical activity (e.g., is the received impact greater than a predetermined threshold), and (iii) providing post-physical activity analysis of the recorded data to make suggested changes in how the person engages in the physical activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: Jonathan Beckwith, Michael Richards, Jeff Chu, Richard Greenwald, Richard Bolander

Patent number: 11024418Abstract: An example system to distribute a medical exam to an examiner includes a first interface to display a medical exam identifier associated with a medical exam stored in a patient record database and an examiner availability indicator to be displayed via the first interface. The examiner availability indicator is to be updated via a second interface. The example system includes an exam allocator to automatically allocate the medical exam to the examiner and an assignment tool to be displayed to a user via the first interface and to facilitate assignment of the allocated exam to the examiner. At least one of the exam allocator or the assignment tool is to be communicatively associated with the examiner availability indicator. Upon assignment of the medical exam to the examiner, the medical exam identifier is displayed in an examiner work queue via the first interface, the second interface, and a third interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Eric Jester, Arun Viswanath, Madhu Seepani, Shaoyu Feigler, Jeff Chu, Jiaohuan Wang, Vineet Ahuja, Brittany Melissa Johnson, Charlotte Mae Shelton, Rhonda Eckstein
