  • Publication number: 20240096455
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic health data processing are disclosed. One or more complaints are extracted from question and answer data of an automated patient interview. A parent-child symptom mapping is referenced to identify a respective parent symptom corresponding to each complaint. Based on the question and answer data, a presence or absence of evidence of the child symptoms associated with each identified parent symptom is determined. The child symptoms are categorized into a positive or negative category based on the determination. An object is generated that includes, for each of the complaints, a positive and negative list of any of the child symptoms included in the positive and negative category, respectively. The object is processed to generate a history of present illness (HPI) portion of a notation in a graphical format. The notation is stored in the patient's electronic health record, and a healthcare provider notification is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11907399
    Abstract: A highly secure networked system and methods for storage, processing, and transmission of sensitive information are described. Sensitive, e.g. personal/private, information is cleansed, salted, and hashed by data contributor computing environments. Cleansing, salting, and hashing by multiple data contributor computing environments occurs using the same processes to ensure output hashed values are consistent across multiple sources. The hashed sensitive information is hashed a second time by a secure facility computing environment. The second hashing of the data involves a private salt inaccessible to third parties. The second hashed data is linked to previously hashed data (when possible) and assigned a unique ID. Data dictionaries are created for particular individuals provided access to the highly secure information, e.g. researchers.
