  • Patent number: 11869667
    Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are described for identifying significant incidental findings from medical records. In one example embodiment, an example computing device receives a medical report and derives a textual component from the medical report. The computing device then identifies one or more medical findings from the textual component and determines a clinical context for each of the one or more medical findings. The computing device then identifies one or more clinical cues from the one or more medical findings and generates one or more condition signals from the one or more clinical cues. The computing device then generates a condition alert from the one or more condition signals. The condition alert is indicative of a significant incidental finding. Using various embodiments contemplated herein, significant incidental findings can be identified for follow-up by a user.

  • Patent number: 11861717
    Abstract: A computing system may receive a verification of benefits (VoB) request that identifies a subscriber and a healthcare provider that submitted the VoB request. The VoB request may comprise a request for the computing system to verify that a health insurance policy of the subscriber is active. In response to determining that the health insurance policy of the identified subscriber is active, the computing system may determine whether to send a subscriber alert to the subscriber. The subscriber alert may notify the subscriber that the healthcare provider has been requested to perform a healthcare action for the subscriber in the future as of a time the healthcare provider submitted the VoB request. Based on a determination to send the subscriber alert, the computing system may initiate a process to send the subscriber alert.

  • Patent number: 11823782
    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer program products that administer pain management treatments remotely, according to a dynamic prescription. In some embodiments, the dynamic prescription provides for changes in a dosage of a medication or electrical stimulation, based for instance upon changes in the patient's pain tolerance level, biological indicators, or behavioral characteristics. In some embodiments, if it is determined that a dosage change is needed, the dosage change can be compared against the dynamic prescription to determine whether the dosage change is permitted within the scope of the dynamic prescription. In some embodiments, if the dosage change is determined to be outside what is permitted by the scope of the dynamic prescription, the updated dosage information can be provided to the patient's physician for authorization of the updated dosage.
