  • Patent number: 11923048
    Abstract: A diagnostic and decision support technology is provided for determining the presence, identity, and/or severity of an inherited lysosomal storage disorder. In particular, a mechanism is provided to detect and classify a lysosomal storage disorder in a human patient, which utilizes a logistic regression classifier determined based on a multi-variable-composite-biomarker comprising a specific set of physiological variables of the patient. This multi-variable statistical predictive biomarker approach may be employed for identifying persons whose attributes are consistent with features or lysosomal storage diseases, such as attenuated mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1 (Hurler-Scheie or Scheie syndromes).

  • Patent number: 11923094
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for a system and method are provided for assessing the value of predictive models monitoring medical conditions. Trends in an individual's medical condition are determined based on monitoring values, and the trends are associated with the actions performed in response to the monitoring values and in accordance with the predictive models. The trends may indicate that an individual's condition is improving, worsening, or remaining stable in response to the action taken. Models used for multiple conditions for an individual or for a population of individuals may be assessed in this manner to generate knowledge regarding the performance of the models based on the actions taken. This knowledge may be used to assess the value of the models in terms of the models' performance and may provide insight on way to improve the models.

  • Publication number: 20240055082
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces for providing voice-activated ambulance booking. Initially, a non-medical user initiates a workflow, via a voice command, that enables the user to provide information about a patient that can be utilized to prioritize the booking of ambulances for patients. Upon providing the initial voice command, the workflow is provided, via a user interface of the user device. The workflow comprises a series of questions corresponding to a status of the patient that can easily be answered merely by observing the patient (e.g., is the patient conscious, is the patient breathing, is the patient bleeding). Based on responses provided by the user, an ambulance is requested for the patient. User device vitals including battery charge levels and signal strength can be used to resolve conflicts if multiple requests are made.

  • Patent number: 11901048
    Abstract: A stateless, on-demand semantic indexing and search service for a health information exchange is provided that anticipatorily fetches data from one or more external sources, extracts semantic concepts from textual documents, and serves an in-memory semantic search index to users to ease finding of relevant patient data across a set of distributed health record data sources. Clinicians may search for not only text, but for semantic concepts, and the search index is able to return relevant results regardless of whether the source information is located inside or outside the local electronic health record. Predictive algorithms may be incorporated to pre-fetch, semantically process and index data for patients likely to be searched in an upcoming time window. Activity indicators for clinicians and patients may be utilized to pre-fetch, semantically process, and index data.

  • Patent number: 11894113
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cloud-based integrated charting system that utilizes a universal mapping service across services and clients to provide insights for the provider into customizations made by clients. Additionally, the system provides content building tools that enable clients to customize content to update models provided by the provider. A mapping service maps model codes corresponding to model concepts to a plurality of standard based concept codes corresponding to client domain specific customized concepts for an ontology of the one or more ontologies. A workflow recommendation is provided that enables a user to chart data and includes the model concepts comprising charting elements. Accordingly, the data is stored in a client database in accordance with the client domain specific customized concepts. Since the model concepts are mapped to the client domain specific customized concepts, the workflow recommendation can be prepopulated with data from the client database.

  • Patent number: 11894127
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining conformity to performance of meaningful use measures in human health care delivery. A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo statistical process is utilized to achieve reliable estimates for such measures despite the small subgroup sample sizes accruing during each measurement period. One embodiment utilizes zero- and one-inflated beta regression that is robust against moderate prevalence of zero or one counts in the numerators for such measurements and determinations of statistical associations with such factors as clinician, care venue, and patient attributes. Based on the determined conformity, a notification is provided to provider clinicians or organization management indicating the conformity and, in some instances, a degree of conformity.

  • Patent number: 11887706
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating record matching and entity resolution and for enabling improvements in record linkage. A power-spectrum-based temporal pattern-specific weight may be incorporated into record linkage methods to enhance the record linkage accuracy and statistical performance. For example, in embodiments, a value-specific weight may be calculated from a population-based frequency of field-specific values or dichotomized values of selected phenotypic variables, and provides an opportunity to capture and measure the relative importance of specific values found in a field. A phenotypic bit-vector “fingerprint” pattern-specific weight or Bayesian power spectrum weight may be determined and incorporated into record linkage methods.

  • Patent number: 11874870
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces for generating a soundtrack using integrated live data from an information system. In this way, the audio presentation for an organization can be automated utilizing meaningful data that is converted into unique sounds based on defined criteria that results in an almost endless culmination of songs providing a story unique to the organization. To do so, data is aggregated from a number of sources (e.g., analytics data, network activity, and the like). The data is converted into observables that can influence the selection of a base track comprising a measure of notes. A soundtrack is generated by applying the observables to the base track, the observables causing changes in one or more of the measure of notes, scale, tonic, tempo, or volume of the soundtrack.
