Abstract: The present disclosure relates to estimation and use of clinician assessment of patient acuity. In various embodiments, a plurality of patient feature vectors associated with a plurality of respective patients may be obtained (302, 304). Each patient feature vector may include one or more health indicator features indicative of observable health indicators of a patient, and one or more treatment features indicative of characteristics of treatment provided to the patient. A machine learning model (216) may be trained (306) based on the patient feature vectors to receive, as input, subsequent patient feature vectors, and to provide, as output, indications of levels of clinician acuity assessment. Later, a patient feature vector associated with a given patient may be provided (404) as input to the machine learning model. Based on output from the machine learning model, a level of clinician acuity assessment associated with the given patient may be estimated (406) and used (408-416) for various applications.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for documenting data by tracking user interactions with an interface. Users such as medical personnel or the like rely on clinical documentation to treat a patient. By automatically generating clinical documentation based on user interactions with an interface when reviewing patient data, users are not required to spend time in generating clinical documentation themselves.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for collapsing clinical event data into meaningful states of patient care. In various embodiments, time-ordered streams of clinical data associated with a plurality of respective patients may be divided into one or more respective pluralities of temporal segments. Each stream of clinical data may indicate a clinical history of a particular patient of the plurality of patients. Each of the one or more pluralities of temporal segments may have a different duration. In some embodiments, embedding(s) of the one or more pluralities of temporal segments into reduced dimensionality space(s) may be generated. Process mining may be performed on the embedding(s). Based on the process mining, one or more temporal health trajectories shared among the plurality of patients may be identified.

Abstract: The following relates generally to the medical monitoring arts, medical warning systems concerning a monitored patient, and so forth. In clinical settings, alarms are usually triggered when a single-parameter or a multi-parameter score exceeds certain thresholds. When a score needs to be determined, if certain parameters are not available, the common practice is to use the most recent measurements of the parameters for the score calculation. However, a patient's status may change from moment to moment. The parameters measured hours ago may not be a good indicator of the patient's current status. This uncertainty can put deteriorating patients at great risk. An embodiment uses statistical methods to estimate a range of scores and the probability of these scores if old measurements have to be used for score determination. Instead of giving a single number at a time, a confidence interval may be displayed to emphasize the fact that the score is determined partially based on old measurements.

Abstract: An early warning system for patient monitoring includes one or more patient monitors (620) configured to generate patient physiological data, a patient database (602) storing patient physiological measurements and outcomes, and one or more computer processors (604) programmed to: machine learn an Aggregate Weighted Track and Trigger System (AWTTS) algorithm for quantifying patient condition by an AWTTS score based on a training set of the patient physiological measurements and outcomes; apply an Early Warning Score or Modified Early Warning Score (EWS) algorithm to patient physiological measurements to generate EWS scores; apply the machine-learned AWTTS algorithm to the patient physiological measurements to generate AWTTS scores; and create a mapping between the AWTTS scores and the EWS scores.

Abstract: When monitoring patients in a general ward, clinical decision support risk scores are evaluated to determine whether a patient should be monitored using a spot check method whereby a caregiver periodically checks the patient, a continuous monitoring method whereby the patient is monitored by a monitoring device such as an electrocardiograph, or whether the patient requires transfer to a progressive care unit (PCU) or intensive care unit (ICU). When the number of patient monitors is not sufficient to assign a monitor to all patients for whom a monitor is desired, CDS score thresholds are adjusted to ensure that the neediest patients are assigned monitors.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to golf clubs with sound tuning features. In certain aspects, the invention provides a flanged rib structure configured to provide improved sound tuning characteristics for a golf club head, particularly a hollow-bodied golf club head. In one embodiment, the rib includes a web portion extending from an internal surface of the club head body and a flange portion coupled to a top surface of the web portion. The inclusion of the flange portion to the web portion increases the overall stiffness of the rib, thereby resulting in an increase in the natural vibration frequency of the club head so as to provide a more appealing sound and/or feel upon ball impact, thereby improving the overall sound characteristics of the club head.
