  • Patent number: 11978356
    Abstract: Techniques for administering a care plan for a patient. A monitoring device is selected, at a care plan management system based on a care plan, to use in administering the care plan. The care plan specifies biometric data to monitor for a patient. The monitoring device is configured to collect the biometric data, based on the care plan. The biometric data collected using the monitoring device is received at the care plan management system. The biometric data includes a first event initially classified as a first type of event using the monitoring device. The first event is selected for reclassification, based on the initial classification, and in response the first event is reclassified as a second type of event using the care plan management system. The patient is treated based on the care plan and the reclassified first event.

  • Patent number: 11301809
    Abstract: Techniques for administering a care plan. Biometric data collected by a monitoring device is received at a care plan management system using a communication network. The biometric data includes a first event classified by a remote device as a first type of event. A relative processing priority for the first event is determined, at the care plan management system, based on the first type. The first event is processed, at the care plan management system, based on the relative processing priority. The processing includes re-classifying the first event as a second type of event. The re-classification is more computationally intensive than the classification by the remote device. At least one treatment task specified in the care plan is initiated, using a computer processor, and based on the re-classified first event.

  • Patent number: 11120911
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein provide a dynamically adaptive care plan. More specifically, embodiments presented herein describe techniques for modifying a care plan assigned to a patient based on data observed from the patient. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, data corresponding to one or more types of biometric data for the patient is received. One or more reported symptoms for the patient is received. The care plan includes one or more conditions corresponding to the one or more reported symptoms. Upon determining that at least one of the received data satisfy at least one of the biometric thresholds and the one or more reported symptoms satisfy at least one of the conditions, an event rule for modifying the care plan is identified. The care plan is modified based on the event rule.

  • Publication number: 20200335189
    Abstract: One or more described embodiments relate to techniques for generating a care plan tailored for an individual. A care plan for treatment of one or more medical conditions for a patient is generated based on care protocol templates. The generating includes identifying a first patient task that conflicts with a second patient task, in the care protocol templates. The care protocol templates are parsed to identify a conflict resolution rule, pre-defined in a respective template, and the conflict is resolved by generating a patient task based on the conflict resolution rule and including the patient task in the care plan. The care plan is transmitted to a client device for the patient. The client device is configured to use the care plan to configure one or more sensor devices to collect biometric data as part of the treatment of the one or more medical conditions for the patient.

  • Patent number: 10706485
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein describe techniques for generating a care plan tailored for an individual. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a care platform receives a selection of one or more care protocol templates to assign to a patient. Each care protocol template is associated with a medical condition to be treated. The care platform generates tasks to be performed by the patient, observation metrics specifying types of patient biometrics to monitor, and thresholds associated with each selection. The care platform receives one or more customizations to the tasks, observation metrics, and thresholds and determines whether any of the tasks or the customizations to the tasks conflict with one another. Upon identifying one or more conflicts, the conflicts are resolved based on specified rules associated with each conflicting task. The care plan is generated based on the observation metrics, thresholds, customizations, and resolved tasks.

  • Patent number: 10691777
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein describe techniques for providing feedback for a care plan for a patient. Embodiments receive a care plan specifying a plurality of assigned tasks for the patient to perform, timing information specifying when each of the plurality of assigned tasks should be performed, and a plurality of observation metrics that each indicate a type of biometric data to monitor. Biometric data corresponding to the plurality of observation metrics is collected using at least one monitoring device. Embodiments receive symptom information specifying one or more reported symptoms experienced by the patient and monitor adherence of the patient to completing the plurality of assigned tasks according to the timing information specified in the care plan. Embodiments further include providing feedback to the patient, based on the collected biometric data, received symptom information and monitored adherence.

  • Patent number: 10510444
    Abstract: Techniques for administering a care plan. Embodiments receive the care plan specifying observation metrics to monitor biometric data collected from a patient. At least one monitoring device available is identified and embodiments receive biometric data collected using the at least one monitoring device, where the biometric data is initially classified as a first type of event by the at least one monitoring device. Additionally, embodiments analyze the received biometric data to reclassify the first event as an occurrence of a second type of even, and, upon determining that the occurrence of the second type of event satisfies at least one threshold condition specified in the care plan, initiate at least one treatment plan specified in the care plan and corresponding to the satisfied at least one threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10467383
    Abstract: Techniques presented herein disclose a method for generating a derived observation for a care plan assigned to a patient. According to one embodiment, an application executing on a care platform server receives an event log having a plurality of events. Each event includes one or more types of biometric data for the patient. The care plan includes one or more definitions for metrics that are derived from the one or more types of biometric data. A temporal slice of the event log is selected based on one or more of the definitions. The derived metrics are generated by evaluating events within the selected temporal slice of the event log against one or more of the definitions. A condition of the patient is evaluated based on the derived metrics.
