Patent number: 11854708Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing the provisioning of healthcare services. A visit profile that includes a reason for the visit and patient demographic information may be provided by a patient requesting a visit to obtain healthcare services. Match scores for providers may be generated based on matching models and the visit profile. A provider may be assigned to the visit based on the match scores. A virtual waiting room may be provided for the patient based on the visit profile. The visit profile may be updated with supplemental information based on the interactions between the patient and the virtual waiting room, patient information, or visit information. Updated match scores may be provided for the providers based on the updated visit profile. If an updated match score exceeds a previously determined higher match score, another provider associated with a higher match score may be assigned to the visit.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: DexCare, Inc.Inventors: Derek Alan Streat, William Bryant Larson, James Michael Heim, Jeffrey Alan Herold, Stephanie Michelle Deter, Chad Garrett Waldman, Christopher Chase Carruthers

Patent number: 11850028Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring biometric information blood of a user that contains a housing that includes an electropermanent magnet, a battery, a processor, and a radio transmitter. A cap is magnetically coupled to the housing when a current is passed through a coil of the electropermanent magnet thereby compressing a portion of tissue of the user between the housing and the cap. By varying the compressive force applied to the tissue, the apparatus monitors at least one of blood pressure and heart rate from the response.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: 42 Health Sensor Holdings LTDInventors: Robert Stanley Sheldon, Daniel Edward Roach

Patent number: 11850077Abstract: Disclosed is a cardio-pulmonary health monitoring apparatus. The apparatus comprises a contactless motion sensor configured to generate one or more movement signals representing bodily movement of a patient during a monitoring session; a processor; and a memory storing program instructions configured to cause the processor to carry out a method of processing the one or more movement signals. The method comprises extracting one or more sleep disordered breathing features from the one or more movement signals, and predicting whether a clinical event is likely to occur during a predetermined prediction horizon based on the one or more sleep disordered breathing features.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2019Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Inventors: Klaus Henry Schindhelm, Steven Paul Farrugia, Michael Waclaw Colefax, Faizan Javed, Rami Khushaba, Conor Heneghan, Philip De Chazal, Alberto Zaffaroni, Niall Fox, Patrick Celka, Emer O'Hare, Stephen James Redmond

Patent number: 11844626Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods that can determine a user's fitness based on a single factor such as oxygen lung volume (pmVO2). A heart rate measurement is conducted on the user after the user performs a physical test specified by a fitness application of the system. The heart rate measurement is converted into a pmVO2 value and compared to pmVO2 values of other individuals. The system assigns the user a fitness grade based on the comparison result. The system further includes an artificial intelligent system that helps the user to move from a grade to a higher grade.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: COOPER HEALTH AND FITNESS APPLICATIONS, LLCInventors: Tyler Clark Cooper, Terdema Ussery, III
