  • Patent number: 11189364
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a computing platform that identifies information about a trial program, where the information is related to healthcare data included in datasets, and identifies an investigator based on the information about the trial program. A data analytics model of the platform generates an initial provider score for each provider in a group of providers based on analysis of the information. The analyzed information of the datasets includes healthcare data describing interactions between patients and providers in the group and criteria for the trial program. The platform provides a request to a subset of providers using the initial provider scores. The request is an invitation to for each provider to join a referral network. The platform uses the request to establish referral connections between the trial investigator and a provider in the subset.

  • Patent number: 11133093
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for creating source-specific, persistent patient identifiers for healthcare service providers. One method includes accessing a record of healthcare data, wherein the record includes patient identifying information (PII) associated with one or more persons to whom the healthcare data pertains. The portions of PII included in the accessed record of healthcare data are extracted from the accessed record and encrypted. Based on one or more business rules, one or more hashed tokens are created by applying one or more hashing functions to the extracted portions of PII. A source-specific identifier is received, the source-specific identifier having been encoded in a manner specific to an organization associated with the computer system and having been encoded with reference to the one or more hashed tokens. An association is stored between the source-specific identifier and the accessed record of healthcare data.

  • Patent number: 11106569
    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: 10978180
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a computing system that identifies information about a trial program. The information is related to healthcare data for a subset of providers. The system identifies a provider based on analysis of the information and the healthcare data and provides trial program criteria for analysis at a provider system. The provider system has access to healthcare data for subjects that interact with the provider. The computing system generates data indicating a result of screening each subject by analyzing the trial program criteria against healthcare data for each subject and receives data for a selection of a subject from the provider system. The selection is determined using screening data for the subject. A referral network of the system provides the screening data for access and analysis at an investigator system.

  • Publication number: 20210090751
    Abstract: Implementations provide a method to consolidate data records of regimens for treating oncology conditions. The method includes: accessing data records each encoding multi-tier data characteristics of a regimen for treating a particular oncology condition; receiving a first data record encoding a first regimen specific to a first healthcare provider institution; parsing the first data record according to a hierarchy of the encoded multi-tier data characteristics; distributing a respective weight to each of the encoded data characteristics to account for the potentially missing data characteristic; comparing data characteristics of the first data record with data characteristics from the data records by applying the respective weight to each data characteristic at a particular tier of the hierarchy such that a respective compound score is generated for each data record; and based on the compound scores for all data records, determining a prevailing data record of regimen as matching the first data record.

  • Patent number: 10846616
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes a computing system having a database that stores multiple datasets and that accesses the database to perform operations on a first dataset to produce multiple second datasets. The system determines a relationship between the first dataset and each second dataset of the multiple second datasets. The system also determines a relationship between respective groups of the first dataset and determines a relationship between respective groups of each second dataset. The system generates summary objects based, in part, on the determined relationships between respective groups of the first and second datasets. The system includes a machine learning system that uses the respective summary objects to analyze the performed operations that produced the multiple second datasets. Based on the analyzed performed operations, the machine learning system generates a data analysis model that indicates sequences of operations for achieving particular desired data analysis outcomes.

  • Patent number: 10839164
    Abstract: Documents in a source natural language are translated into one or more target natural languages using a computer-implemented translation tool that is configured to operate within the domain of life science that imposes specialized requirements for translation and readability. Life science 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 tool applies machine-learning techniques that deconstruct elements of a life science 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 a translation engine such as a neural machine translation engine.
