  • Patent number: 10970640
    Abstract: Methods for text analysis of medical study data to extract predictive data. Natural language processing is performed on a document in a collection of documents to determine whether the document contains medical model data. In response to determining that the document contains medical model data, content relating to the medical model data in the document is annotated. A first medical model is generated based on the annotations for the identified medical model data and a certainty threshold In response to the certainty threshold meeting a user setting, the first medical model is added to a predictive model for determining a risk score, based on the analyzed data.

  • Patent number: 10832815
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for monitoring medical events for adverse effects includes at least one processor. The processor may be configured to identify one or more medical events within patient medical information by applying first analytics to the medical information. The medical information may include unstructured information. The processor is further configured to determine adverse effects of the identified medical events and corresponding time intervals of occurrence by applying second analytics to medical reference information, wherein effect information includes the identified medical events, determined adverse effects, and corresponding time intervals of occurrence. In addition, the processor is configured to determine from the effect information any adverse effects for a patient and the corresponding time intervals of occurrence.

  • Patent number: 10303729
    Abstract: Techniques presented herein describe filtering content rendered on a web browser. An analytics engine receives an aggregated feed to send to a requesting user. The aggregated feed includes one or more posts. For each of the posts, the analytics engine evaluates content of the post to determine whether a subject specified in a profile associated with the requesting user is present in the content. Upon determining that the subject is present in the content, the analytics removes the content from the post.

  • Publication number: 20180004790
    Abstract: Nutritional information of a recipe is gathered to determine a nutritional value table of a food recipe. A computing device may extract and analyze unstructured text of a food recipe to obtain a plurality of ingredients and a quantity of the plurality of ingredients. The computing device may access dietary preferences of a user. The nutritional information of the food recipe may be calculated using the nutritional value of each of the ingredients and complied into a nutritional value table. The recipe may be determined if the recipe corresponds with the dietary preferences of the user. If a recipe does not correspond with the dietary preferences, then an ingredient causes the recipe to not correspond with the dietary preferences is removed from the recipe creating an altered recipe. The nutritional value table of the altered recipe is displayed to the user.

  • Publication number: 20170329931
    Abstract: A system can associate a life event and a medical condition for a particular patient by identifying the life event using text analysis for the patient's medical records. Medical data associated with the life event can be extracted, and it can be determined that the life event impacts other patients. The medical records for the other patients can then be analyzed, and the medical data relevant to the patient's life event can be extracted. Using the extracted medical data, a medical condition for the primary patient can be determined, and a relationship between the life event and the medical condition can be transmitted.
