  • Patent number: 11875905
    Abstract: One or more devices that provides an immersive cerebral salubrity retention and selection package (ICSRSP) to potential new patients (PNPs) comprising customized cerebral salubrity care personnel with available personal time periods to improve their cerebral salubrity. An ICSRSP determines whether a PNP qualifies for a cerebral health immersion program (CHIP). The ICSRSP generates a set of interrogatives based on data and data sets (used for a determination) that are not included in initially collected data regarding the PNP. The PNP's acceptance into the ICSRSP is based on an assessment of the PNP data and PNP-provided responses to the interrogatives. If the PNP is selected for the CHIP, an option is provided to the PNP to enroll in the CHIP to become a patient. If additional information is needed to complete an acceptance process for the CHIP, a user interface is provided enabling the PNP to provide data for process completion.

  • Patent number: 11521730
    Abstract: A subject is prescribed short and long acting insulin medicament regimens. When a qualified fasting event occurs, the basal insulin sensitivity estimate of the subject is updated using (i) an expected fasting blood glucose level based upon the long acting insulin medicament dosing specified by the long acting regimen during the fasting event, (ii) glucose measurements contemporaneous with the fasting event and (iii) a prior insulin sensitivity factor. A basal insulin sensitivity factor curve is calculated from the updated basal insulin sensitivity estimate. A bolus insulin sensitivity estimate of the subject is updated upon occurrence of a correction bolus with a short acting insulin medicament using (i) an expected blood glucose level based upon the correction bolus, (ii) glucose measurements after occurrence of the correction bolus, and (iii) a prior insulin sensitivity factor. A bolus insulin sensitivity factor curve is calculated from the updated bolus insulin sensitivity estimate.

  • Patent number: 11342050
    Abstract: A computer system monitors users to capture contextual and environmental data for managing adverse events of those users. A level of risk for occurrence of an adverse event from performing a medical related activity is determined based on the medical related activity, a medical profile, and a risk profile of the user. The user is monitored to capture environmental and contextual information for the adverse event. The captured information is stored to associate the captured information with the adverse event. In response to occurrence of the adverse event, the user is prompted to provide information pertaining to conditions surrounding the adverse event. The stored information for the adverse event is updated with the user-provided information, and is transmitted to a provider associated with the medical related activity. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for managing adverse events in substantially the same manner described above.
