Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a communication network allowing a user transmit confidential or sensitive information to a recipient through a third party, while ensuring that privacy is maintained. A user can access a mobile application to request a third party to send information to a recipient. Following the user request, a built-in procedure of the mobile application may automatically institute a consent process between the third party and the desired recipient, without requiring any further action on the part of the requesting user. A coded message may be delivered to the intended recipient, including a selectable link directing them to a consent procedure within the third party communication network service. Completion of the consent procedure creates an association between the requesting user and the intended recipient within a relationship database, allowing confidential information to be exchanged between the user and recipient, through the third party communication service.

Abstract: The invention features methods, systems, and computer programs for generating a customized set of possible medical conditions, thereby providing access to medical information relevant to the user's state of health. The methods and systems involve at least some of the following steps: receiving a list of symptoms specified in terms selected from a first language set; translating the list of symptoms into a translated list of symptoms specified in terms selected from a second language set; using the translated list of symptoms to generate possible medical conditions, the possible medical conditions described in terms of the second language set; and translating the possible medical conditions into descriptions that are specified in terms selected from the first language set.

Abstract: Data about a plurality of events is stored in an event database, including information for selecting who should be invited to the event. Data about a plurality of members is stored in a member database, preferably including members' preference criteria specifying the type of events in which each member likes to participate. The member information is matched against the invitee selection criteria and the event information is matched against the member preferences criteria to determine which members should be invited to each event. Based on results of this match process, e-mail invitations to the selected events are sent to the members.

Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method that can comprise, for a predetermined user, automatically determining a score for each resource from a plurality of predetermined resources based on the user's weighting of predetermined factors associated with the resources and an objective score for each factor for each resource, ranking the scored resources, and/or providing an identity of a best matched resource for the user.

Abstract: Personalization of access to health or benefit-related information on a computer network is provided based upon a health history of a user. In one implementation, personal health or benefit-related information about the user is obtaining from the user operating a client computer. The health or benefit-related information includes one or more health or benefit-related terms that each corresponds to a health or benefit-related concept. The health related terms provided by the user are correlated with a health terminology thesaurus that is stored on a computer-readable medium, such as at a server remote from the user client. Each of the health or benefit-related terms is associated with a health or benefit-related concept, which has one or more health or benefit-related works associated therewith. The works associated with health or benefit-related concepts are then made accessible over a computer network to the user.

Abstract: A method for processing a personal health record (PHR) which includes a plurality of events each having a time stamp. The method includes creating a plurality of event-concept pairs by mapping each of the plurality of events in the PHR to a corresponding health concept, assigning to each of the plurality of event-concept pairs the time stamp of the event corresponding to the event-concept pair, identifying associations among the plurality of event-concept pairs, identifying an associative subset of event-concept pairs among the plurality of event-concept pairs, and linking a plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs to form a thread, in which the thread presents a relationship among the plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs.

The health related terms provided by the user are correlated with a health terminology thesaurus that is stored on a computer-readable medium, such as at a server remote from the user client. Each of the health-related terms is associated with a single concept unique identifier that uniquely identifies a corresponding health-related concept. Health-related works or content is made accessible over the computer network by correlating the concept unique identifiers for the user's health information with corresponding concept unique identifiers that are associated with the health-related content.
