  • Patent number: 11749404
    Abstract: An improved decision support tool is provided for detecting and treating human patients at risk for having (or developing) venous thromboembolism VTE. The tool determines a quantitative probability of VTE by utilizing a smart sensor based on a particular machine-learning model for detecting specific biomarkers determined to be related to VTE. In particular, a quantitative probability of VTE may be determined via a model based on interrelationships between multiple components of the human body's complement cascade and their coupling to coagulation processes. In one aspect, a quasi-Dirichlet distribution “mixture” relationship between total hemolytic complement (CH50) activity and complement protein C3 levels is employed as part of a smart sensor and decision support tool to provide predictive, diagnostic, and prognostic applications and for guiding prevention and treatment of acute VTE. Where the smart sensor determines a risk for VTE, then the decision support tool may initiate an intervening action.

  • Publication number: 20230270390
    Abstract: System and methods for controlling healthcare devices and systems using voice commands are presented. In some aspects a listening device may receive voice command from a person. The voice command may be translated into human readable or machine readable text via a speech-to-text service. A control component may receive the text and send device-specific instructions to a medical device associated with a patient based on the translated voice command. In response to the instructions, the medical device may take an action on a patient. Some examples of actions taken may include setting an alarm limit on a monitor actively monitoring a patient and adjusting the amount of medication delivered by an infusion pump. Because these devices may be controlled using a voice command, in some cases, no physical or manual interaction is needed with the device. As such, multiple devices may be hands-free controlled from any location.
