  • Patent number: 11875277
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to learning and applying contextual patient similarities. Multiple template similarity functions (118) may be provided (602). Each template similarity function may compare a respective subset of features of a query entity feature vector with a corresponding subset of features of a candidate entity feature vector. A composite similarity function (120) may be provided (604) as a weighted combination of respective outputs of the template similarity functions. A plurality of labeled entity vectors may be provided (606) as context training data. An approximation function may be applied (608) to approximate a first context label for each respective labeled entity vector. A first context specific composite similarity function may be trained (610) based on the composite similarity function by learning first context weights for the template similarity functions using a first loss function based on output of application of the approximation function to the first context training data.

  • Patent number: 11640852
    Abstract: In a risk level assessment method for a plurality of clinical conditions as follows, a set of laboratory test results (32) are stored with time stamps for a patient, including at least one hematology test result and at least one arterial blood gas (ABG) test result. For each clinical condition, a risk level is determined for the clinical condition based on a clinical condition-specific sub-set of the stored set of laboratory test results. This determination is made conditional on the stored clinical condition-specific sub-set of laboratory test results being sufficient to determine the risk level. A time stamp is assigned to each determined risk level based on the time stamps for the laboratory test results of the clinical condition-specific sub-set of laboratory test results. A display device (44, 46) displays the determined risk level and the assigned time stamp for each clinical condition whose determined risk level satisfies a display criterion.

  • Patent number: 11620554
    Abstract: An electronic clinical decision support (CDS) device (10) employs a trained CDS algorithm (30) that operates on values of a set of covariates to output a prediction of a medical condition. The CDS algorithm was trained on a training data set (22). The CDS device includes a computer (12) that is programmed to provide a user interface (62) for completing clinical survey questions using the display and the one or more user input devices. Marginal probability distributions (42) for the covariates of the set of covariates are generated from the completed clinical survey questions. The trained CDS algorithm is adjusted for covariate shift using the marginal probability distributions. A prediction of the medical condition is generated for a medical subject using the trained CDS algorithm adjusted for covariate shift (50) operating on values for the medical subject of the covariates of the set of covariates.

  • Publication number: 20230024573
    Abstract: A system and method for visualizing and annotating temporal trends of an abnormal condition in patient data. A classification and visualization module detects one or more conditions in one or more images, e.g. X-ray images, and visualizes the condition on the image. A temporal disease state extraction module analyzes text, e.g. radiology reports, for indications of a change in the condition. A multimodal disease state comparison module fuses the extracted data into a compact representation of the condition changes over time.
