Patent number: 11633103Abstract: The in-home care of seniors is augmented using Internet of Things (IOT) technologies. In-home sensors monitor a senior and their caregiver. Physical conditions and psychological conditions may be monitored. In some implementations, a machine learning system has a classifier trained to detect a specified condition, such as depression. The system may perform various transformations of raw sensor data into a format indicative of a particular condition. In one implementation, a psychological or medical condition has symptoms in which each symptom has one or more measurable events. Mappings between symptoms, events, sensor data, and sensor transformation functions may be supported.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: ClearCare, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Nudd, David Cristman, Jonathan J. Hull, Bala Krishna Nakshatrala

Publication number: 20140039962Abstract: Disclosed are new approaches for scheduling workers at remote locations. Work assignments may be organized into shifts associated with one or more workers and one or more recipients. Tasks are associated with the shift and have an updatable status. Shifts may be replicated by cutting and pasting or by specifying a recurrence definition. The tasks associated with a shift may then be replicated. The status of tasks may be updated using a voice telephony system. The status of tasks may also be reported from a computer located on the recipient premise. Text and/or voice comments and the task status may be accessible by managers, clients, and concerned parties from a web portal accessible using a computing device, such as a tablet computer. Methods for automatically associating providers with shifts and adding tasks to shifts are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: ClearCare, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Howard Nudd, James Merson, Peter Hollingsworth

Publication number: 20140019157Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for improving healthcare outcomes, such as following discharge of a patient following discharge from a hospital or other facility. In some embodiments, a first computer system of a first entity, detects discharge of a patient from a second entity based on activities of the patient and in response transmits, to an electronic device of a second entity, a request for discharge information of the patient. One or more follow-up activities are automatically scheduled for the patient and participation of the patient in the activities is verified by the first computer system. Follow-up activities may include a visit to a primary care physician (PCP), an in-person phone call, automated phone call, and other activities. One or more escalation actions may be taken based on results of these activities or failure of the patient to take part in these activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2013Publication date: January 16, 2014Applicant: ClearCare, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Howard Nudd, Jacquelyn Kung, James Merson, Anthony Metzler

Publication number: 20120096369Abstract: Provided is novel computer enabled approach for loading pictures on to a digital picture frame, or on to a computer system functioning as a digital picture frame, via an Internet interface. The digital picture frame operates according to software instructions that when processed by a microprocessor or the like, downloads pictures over the Internet from using data storage software and displays them. In one embodiment, the digital picture frame, being an Internet-connected device with a processor capable of executing a variety of software programs and displaying images on a monitor, preferably including a touch screen input interface (ex. a “tablet” such as an Apple iPad), is used as part of a healthcare system for in-home healthcare providers. When the system is not being used for the provision of healthcare, it can display photos and videos which have been uploaded by the family and friends of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2011Publication date: April 19, 2012Applicant: ClearCare, Inc.Inventor: Geoffrey Howard Nudd
