  • Patent number: 12592319
    Abstract: Methods and systems including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a method for detecting signals related to subjects participating in a clinical trial. In some implementations, a computer collects clinical data from multiple sources. The computer standardizes and redacts personally identifiable information and determines predictive features that correspond to characteristics of the data that correlate with efficacy and safety signals. The computer obtains training data and trains machine learning models to predict one or both of a predicted efficacy signal and a predicted safety signal for a subject. The computer receives clinical data for a particular clinical trial subject enrolled in an ongoing clinical trial and predicts one or more signals and receives a review of the signals through a user interface. The computer updates the predictive components of the system based on the review.

  • Patent number: 12567485
    Abstract: A method and system obtain records for a health care provider from sources, each record specifying an address for the health care provider. An accuracy score to each address is assigned based on (i) relationships among some of the records for the health care provider or (ii) applicability, to the address, of an accuracy trend for the source of the address. The accuracy score for each of the addresses is adjusted based on applying audit rules to the address, each audit rule specifying an adjustment to the accuracy score based on a value in the record for the address satisfying or violating the audit rule. The addresses for the health care provider and rankings are stored. A ranking for an address is determined based on the relative adjusted accuracy scores of the address. Data indicative of the address rankings can be displayed on a user interface.
