    Abstract: A variety of improvements to docking systems for portable computing devices are disclosed. For example, improved techniques for maintaining a data connection between a base portion of the docking system and a case portion of the docking system are disclosed. As an example, the docking system can include improved magnetics that help maintain the data connection between the base portion and the case portion, even during rotational movements of the case portion relative to the base portion. Further still, examples are described where the detection of a docking action between the case portion and the base portion can trigger any of a number of responsive actions.

  • Publication number: 20230253100
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a patient evaluation system that predicts a revenue stream corresponding to a patient if admitted into a healthcare facility. In one embodiment, the patient evaluation system parses medical records corresponding to a patient to automatically identify inputs into a daily rate calculator for determining a reimbursement or cost rate (e.g., a daily rate) corresponding to the patient. In addition to determining this rate, the patient evaluation system can use a ML model to estimate or predict the length of stay of the patient. Using the reimbursement or cost rate and the predicted length of stay, the patient evaluation system can estimate or predict the revenue stream corresponding to patient's stay at the healthcare facility. This information can be output in a graphical user interface which can be used to decide whether or not to recommend the patient be admitted to the healthcare facility.
