  • Patent number: 11901063
    Abstract: The present invention includes a method for representing a plurality of pre-calculated solutions in radiation therapy that are stored in a database and displayed in a manner controllable by a user. Arrays of DVH curves provide the user with essential information on the ‘quality of a plan’. A DVH diagram is displayed as a main diagram, wherein only one of the solutions is visually represented at a time. By selecting a first starting point on a selected DVH curve as the main diagram, a first straight axis extending through the first starting point is placed. A first region, located around the first starting point and on the first straight axis, is highlighted as a first control region for controllable visualization of the plurality of currently non-displayed solutions stored in the database, the DVH curves of which correspond to the selected DVH curve and intersect the first straight axis.

  • Patent number: 11887027
    Abstract: The present technology calculates a value of future adherence (VFA) score which is a patient-level, predicted, expected cost of conversion from non-adherence to adherence over a specified time-frame. The score consists of three general components: (1) probability of being non-adherent, (2) cost reduction associated with being adherent, and (3) probability of converting from non-adherent to adherent. These values can be combined to create an overall VFA score. A user interface is then provided which shows at least a list of patients and information related to the VFA score.

  • Patent number: 11862343
    Abstract: A medication risk mitigation method utilizing three interventions: a prospective intervention performed by a prescriber, a concurrent intervention performed by a pharmacist and a retroactive intervention performed by a pharmacist. At each intervention, the system of the instant invention utilizes a computer program to compare each prescribed medication to a series of intrinsic and extrinsic data sources in order to identify potential contraindications and, if necessary, modify a prescription. The system also permits secure messaging between prescribers and pharmacists, each with access to the computer program, so as to facilitate communication and reduce medication risks. The system of this invention also permits modeling for hypothetical medication modifications based on the same intrinsic and extrinsic data sources.

  • Patent number: 11804304
    Abstract: Neurological abnormalities are often discovered through observation by health care providers, and/or parent report. Many neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD are purely identified through behavioral analysis, and cannot be screened for using a biomarker or quantitative stimulus-response test. Current screening tools contain subjective components based on parent report and clinician observation, vary in consistency of use across providers, and demands resources, knowledge, and access to skilled expertise. As a result, the only tests used today require lengthy and subjective behavioral analysis and often, miss or misidentify neurodevelopmental disorders contributing to a delayed diagnosis. The technology disclosed herein allow for a solution to this systemic problem.

  • Patent number: 11544652
    Abstract: To achieve the foregoing and in accordance with the present invention, systems and methods for workflow management are provided. In some embodiments, a set of data elements, which are extracted from medical information, are received. The elements are bundled according to one or more similar attributes to form work items. Work items are bundles of data elements for which value is to be extracted for a particular user objective. Next the workflows are configured according to event history for the work items, current action, and user context. The work items may then be routed through the workflow based upon the work items' “energy”. Work item energy is the probability and degree to which a next action taken in a workflow to that particular work item will further a user objective.

  • Patent number: 11347316
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques for mitigating error from gesture input are disclosed. A system may receive an indication of a first gesture input, determine that the first gesture input is an indicator gesture input, and, responsive to the determination that the first gesture input is the indicator gesture input, enter a gesture control mode during which the system is configured to control one or more actions related to a medical procedure. Only during the gesture control mode, the system may receive an indication of a second gesture input associated with the medical procedure and, responsive to receiving the indication of the second gesture input, control, based on the second gesture input, at least a portion of the medical procedure. Additionally, or alternatively, the system may employ other error mitigation techniques for gesture input related to medical procedures.
