  • Patent number: 11957507
    Abstract: A method for determining a predicted risk level of a clinical endpoint for a predetermined time period for a patient is provided by the present disclosure. The method includes receiving video frames of a heart, the video frames being associated with the patient, receiving electronic health record data including a number of variables associated with the patient, providing the video frames and the electronic health record data to the trained neural network, receiving a risk score from the trained neural network, and outputting a report based on the risk score to at least one of a display or a memory.

  • Patent number: 11869668
    Abstract: A method and system for predicting the likelihood that a patient will suffer from a cardiac event is provided. The method includes receiving electrocardiogram data associated with the patient, providing at least a portion of the electrocardiogram data to a trained model, receiving a risk score indicative of the likelihood the patient will suffer from the cardiac event within a predetermined period of time from when the electrocardiogram data was generated, and outputting the risk score to at least one of a memory or a display for viewing by a medical practitioner or healthcare administrator. The system includes at least one processor executing instructions to carry out the steps of the method.

  • Patent number: 11756688
    Abstract: A method for determining cardiology disease risk from electrocardiogram trace data and clinical data includes receiving electrocardiogram trace data associated with a patient, receiving the patient's clinical data, providing both sets of data to a trained machine learning composite model that is trained to evaluate the data with respect to each disease of a set of cardiology diseases including three or more of cardiac amyloidosis, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, abnormal reduced ejection fraction, or abnormal interventricular septal thickness, generating, by the model and based on the evaluation, a composite risk score reflecting a likelihood of the patient being diagnosed with one or more of the cardiology diseases within a predetermined period of time from when the electrocardiogram trace data was generated, and outputting the composite risk score to at least one of a memory or a display.

  • Patent number: 11515040
    Abstract: A method for providing treatment recommendations for a patient to a physician is disclosed. The method includes receiving health information associated with the patient, determining a first risk score for the patient based on the health information using a trained predictor model, determining a second risk score for the patient based on the health information and at least one artificially closed care gap included in the health information using the predictor model, determining a predicted risk reduction score based on the first risk score and the second risk score, determining a patient classification based on the predicted risk reduction score, and outputting a report based on at least one of the first risk score, the second risk score, or the predicted risk reduction score.

  • Patent number: 9155500
    Abstract: A method for determination of mechanical integrity of bone includes embedding a threaded rod into the bone, extracting the threaded rod out of the bone, and measuring the force required to extract the threaded rod from the bone, wherein the force required to extract the threaded rod is indicative of the mechanical integrity of the bone. A device for determining the mechanical integrity of bone includes a housing, a rod holder mounted to the housing and configured to hold a threaded rod which is embedded in the bone, a pulling force applicator which applies a pulling force to the rod holder to extract the threaded rod from the bone, and a pulling force measuring instrument which measures the pulling force applied to the rod holder by the pulling force applicator as the threaded rod is extracted from the bone.

  • Publication number: 20120040342
    Abstract: Methods for determining resistance to weight loss and susceptibility to binge eating episodes are described. The methods include determination of the presence of a obesity related alleles for a patient at single nucleotide polymorphism sites associated with the genes INSIG2, FTO, MC4R, and PCSK1. The total number of obesity alleles for the patient is indicative of the patient's resistance to weight loss and susceptibility to weight gain following bariatric surgery. The methods also include determining if a patient is homozygous for an obesity related allele at one or more single nucleotide polymorphism sites of the four genes.
