  • Patent number: 12271793
    Abstract: A GxP (good practice) platform is implemented to enable artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to be tracked from creation through training and into production. Deployed algorithms are assigned a GxP chain ID that enables identification of production details associated with respective algorithms. Trained algorithms, each of which are respectively associated with a GxP chain ID, are containerized and can be utilized through an application programing interface (API) to provide a service. The GxP chain ID is linked to production details stored within a database, in which the production details can include information such as data used to train the algorithm, a history version, a date/time stamp when the algorithm was validated, software and hardware on which the algorithm was developed and trained, among other details. Changes to the algorithm can be tracked using an immutable ledger facilitated by the implementation of blockchain.

  • Patent number: 12271294
    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: 12099480
    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: 12079719
    Abstract: A deep learning model implements continuous, lifelong machine learning (LML) based on a Bayesian neural network using an inventive framework including wide, deep, and prior components that employ diverse algorithms to leverage available real-world healthcare data differently to improve prediction performance. The outputs from each component of the framework are fed into a wide and shallow neural network and the posterior structure of the final model output may be utilized as a prior structure when the deep learning model is refreshed with new data in a deep learning process. Lifelong learning is implemented by dynamically integrating present learning from the wide and deep learning components with past learning from traditional tree models in the prior component into future predictions. Thus, the present Bayesian deep neural network-based LML model increases accuracy in identifying patient profiles by continuously learning, as new data become available, without forgetting prior knowledge.
