Patent number: 10769243Abstract: A registration card or similar document (such as a boarding pass) may be used to onboard participants of health services programs. A data structure may store a plurality of unique identification codes linked to data elements providing personally identifiable information of participants. A document may then be generated to include an indicium, such as a QR code and/or bar code, for indicating the unique identification code for the participant, a personal identifier and a logistics detail for a biometric event. Upon receiving the unique identification code from the document, such as at the biometric event, the data element in the data structure may then be linked to an electronic medical record of the participant.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Zillion Group, Inc.Inventors: William Van Wyck, Theresa Biasi, Anuja Ketan, Kelly Jura, John Rojas

Patent number: 10516762Abstract: A system is provided in which portable electronic devices may be provided to people for accessing services in mass quantities. Each portable electronic device, which may be a tablet, may be configured in advance with one or more service programs and an authentication process. The tablet may also include cellular data access and/or paired peripheral devices. Such pre-configuration may provide subsequent ease of use and/or guarantee compatibility with a provider's server. A device control module on the tablet may communicate with a device manager on a server to monitor progress of the service program. If data values associated with the service program, such as measurements and/or transferred content, fail to meet a threshold within a period of time, the device control module may implement an action on the device to encourage the user, such as triggering repetitive alerts, disabling cellular access, disabling system applications, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Zillion Group, Inc.Inventors: William Van Wyck, Theresa Biasi, Kelly Jura, Michelle Stevens, Anuja Ketan

Patent number: 10380322Abstract: The present inventors have determined that health services programs may be efficiently administered by providing a plurality of health services modules that are “horizontally integrated” on a platform. A rules engine is operative to identify enumerated events such that an event in one module triggers the rules engine to propagate a related event in one or more other modules. Such health services modules may be software architectural components operable for one or more of (1) live video conferencing, (2) scheduling, and/or (3) health services program data/content. Additional health services modules (“add-on modules”) may also be provided on the platform and horizontally integrated.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Zillion Group, Inc.Inventors: William J Van Wyck, Theresa Biasi, Anuja Ketan, Kelly Jura, Miranda McGill, Andre Roussel

Publication number: 20080147423Abstract: A method and system is provided for confirming and/or verifying receipt of a mailpiece by an intended mail recipient. The method includes the step of establishing a relationship between the intended mail recipient and an RFID tag affixed to the mailpiece. Upon delivery of the mailpiece, the actual mail recipient is caused to affect communication between an RFID enabled phone in the possession of the actual mail recipient and the RFID tag of the mailpiece. By comparing the information acquired by the RFID enabled phone and the RFID tag, (i.e., the relationship information stored on the RFID tag), a determination can be made as to whether the intended mail recipient is the actual mail recipient. Alternate embodiments of the invention effect confirmation/verification by capturing various biometric characteristics of the mail recipient and comparing such information to previously stored biometric data of the intended mail recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2006Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventors: John F.
