Patent number: 10709375Abstract: The present system is directed in various embodiments to devices, systems and methods for detection, evaluation and/or monitoring olfactory dysfunction by measuring and determining the patient's olfactory detection threshold for the left and the right nostril. In some cases, the present invention relates to devices, systems and methods for detecting an asymmetric differential in a patient's relative olfactory detection and/or identification threshold (left vs right nostril) which, when present, may be used as a device to detect, diagnose and/or monitor olfactory deterioration resulting from Alzheimer's disease, and/or the efficacy of treatment regimens therefor over time. Alternatively, general olfactory dysfunction may be evaluated and/or monitored without regard to the individual nostril's performance.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Inspired Life Medical, Inc.Inventor: Gregory B. Mills

Publication number: 20130211834Abstract: A method, system and a computer program product for an automated interpretation and/or translation are disclosed. An automated interpretation and/or translation occurs by receiving language-based content from a user. The received language-based content is processed to interpret and/or translate the received language-based content into a target language. Also, a presence of a cultural sensitivity in the received language-based content is detected. Further, an appropriate guidance for dealing with the detected cultural sensitivity is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: A-Life Medical, Inc.Inventor: A-Life Medical, Inc.

Patent number: 7908552Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for implementing a mere-parser are disclosed. Text data is processed to generate one or more parse items. A boundary based attribute associated with one of the parse items is identified, and the identified mere attribute is associated with one or more of the remaining parse items that is not blocked from being associated with the boundary based attribute.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignees: A-Life Medical Inc., A-Life Hospital Coding, LLCInventors: Daniel T. Heinze, Mark L. Morsch

Publication number: 20090070140Abstract: Among other things, methods, systems and computer program products for providing visual indication of documentation and coding of medical procedures may include providing a choice of medical codes associated with a medical procedure. A user selection of one of the medical codes is detected. Based on the detection, a visual indication of the user selection is generated on one or more anatomical diagrams.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: A-LIFE MEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Mark L.

Patent number: 6915254Abstract: A programmed implementation for automatically assigning medical codes (including diagnosis, procedure, and level of service—i.e., evaluation and management (EM)—codes) to computer readable physician notes using natural language processing. A system allows hospitals, physician management groups, and medical billing companies to automatically determine and assign the medical codes that are the basis of reimbursement for medical services. The proposed implementation can be in place of human medical coders who otherwise would be employed to determine and assign these codes. Implementation requires only minor modifications to the traditional data-flow and allows for major improvements in throughput and timeliness of billing. Further, the present scheme enables the collection of other demographic and clinical information that resides in physician notes, but that are currently too expensive and time consuming to extract by means of a human workforce.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1999Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: A-Life Medical, Inc.Inventors: Daniel T.
