  • Patent number: 11961596
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to computer-based systems to evaluate and market clinical trial research centers. In certain aspects, the invention provides computer-based systems to collect information about clinical research centers. Systems include a tangible, non-transitory memory coupled to a processor operable to retrieve, based on a user's input, an identity of a clinical research center and prompt the user for information relating generally to the center. The system can collect disease-specific information by prompting the user for a selection of a disease and then collecting from the user information identifying an ability of the center to perform one or more tests relating to the disease.

  • Patent number: 11960456
    Abstract: A graph-based clinical concept mapping algorithm maps ICD-9 (International Classification of Disease, Revision 9) and ICD-10 (International Classification of Disease, Revision 10) codes to unified Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) clinical concepts to normalize longitudinal healthcare data to thereby improve tracking and the use of such data for research and commercial purposes. The graph-based clinical concept mapping algorithm advantageously combines a novel graph-based search algorithm and natural language processing to map orphan ICD codes (those without equivalents across codebases) by finding optimally relevant shared SNOMED concepts. The graph-based clinical concept mapping algorithm is further advantageously utilized to group ICD-9/10 codes into higher order, more prevalent SNOMED concepts to support clinical interpretation.

  • Patent number: 11923074
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.

  • Patent number: 11908587
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for responding to a query. In some implementations, a computer obtains a query. The computer determines a meaning for each term in the query. The computer determines user data for the user that submitted the query. The computer identifies one or more ontologies based on the meanings for at least some of the terms. The computer identifies a knowledge graph based on the identified ontologies and the user data. The computer generates a response to the query by traversing a path of the identified knowledge graph to identify items in the knowledge graph based on the determined meaning for each of the terms. The computer generates path data that represents the path taken by the computer through the identified knowledge graph. The computer provides the generated response and the path data to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11809307
    Abstract: A requirements to test (R2T) system is implemented, which provides an automated system by which a user interface (UI)-test automation script package is generated and the generated test scripts therein are executed against software. A visualized workflow is translated into some machine-consumable formatted file. The translated workflow is utilized by an artificial intelligence driven automated R2T engine to discover paths through the workflow, a series of executable steps for the paths that detail how the software will be used, and ultimately test scripts that are generated using pre-defined validation templates. An automation platform executes the test scripts through the software associated with the workflow, which automatically captures evidence of the executed test scripts to fulfill computer system validation requirements. The R2T system provides an automated solution for test script creation and system validation to expedite the validation process and thereby streamline a software's time to market.

  • Patent number: 11734514
    Abstract: Documents in source natural languages are translated into target natural languages using a computer-implemented translation that is configured to operate within the domain of the subject matter of the documents that imposes specialized requirements for translation and readability. Subject matter specific documents typically include domain-specific terminology, are subject to various regulatory guidelines, and have different readability requirements depending on the intended reader. The computer-implemented translation applies machine-learning techniques that deconstruct elements of the subject matter specific document into a standard data structure and perform pre-processing steps to tokenize digitized document text to identify the correct sentence structure and syntax for the target natural language to optimize translation by, e.g., a neural machine translation engine.

  • Patent number: 11621081
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining data for a set of patients that each have a certain condition. A first and second sequence of data is determined based on the obtained data. A scoring model is generated by processing the first and second sequence of data to train a neural network. The scoring model determines a confidence that an individual has the particular healthcare condition. Patient scoring data is provided to the scoring model to determine the confidence that the individual has the healthcare condition. A confidence score is received as an output of the scoring model in response to providing the patient scoring data. The confidence score represents a determined confidence that the individual has the healthcare condition. An indication that represents the confidence that the individual has the healthcare condition is provided based on the received confidence score.
