  • Patent number: 10720241
    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: 10706372
    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: 10600088
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow targeting messages to consumers using a plurality of records for a group of consumers, each record comprising healthcare demographic information (HDI) associated with individual consumers. HDI can include insured status information identifying whether a consumer likely has health insurance, which is received from at least one health services provider. A cookie can correlates a consumer's browser to healthcare demographic information. The cookie allows subsequent association of HDI with the browser, without exposing personally identifiable information of the first consumer to advertisers. Systems and methods can also associate an ID of a consumer's electronic device with the HDI, allowing mobile device and set top boxes to serve relate ads to the consumer. Consumers can be targeted based on selected HDI criteria.

  • Patent number: 10553320
    Abstract: A system, method and article of manufacture are presented for improving therapy such as adjustment of a chronotherapeutic pharmaceutical regimen. Physiological variables are measured longitudinally and a time series of the measurements is constructed. In some cases, a time series is pre-whitened and transformed to a frequency spectrum while applying multi-taper filtering, and entropy or other statistical measures are calculated for the power spectral distribution. Improved timing, medication and dosage are individually or collectively improved and/or verified through successive testing. An improvement is illustrated for hypertension, using medication to achieve autonomic control and to reduce blood pressure variability and to reduce spectral diversion.

  • Patent number: 10460835
    Abstract: A method and system assists in management of data associated with a home medical equipment (HME) device provided to a patient. An HME identifier may be received by a physician terminal or an HME provider terminal. In an example, an HME identifier may be stored, encoded, engraved or otherwise applied to a component of an HME device such as a removable storage medium (e.g., an SD card). A records management system may then be searched for a patient record associated with the HME device identifier based on retrieval of the identifier from the component. If a patient record is found, the identity of the patient may be verified. Optionally, if no such patient record is found, then a new patient record associated with the HME identifier may be created.

  • Patent number: 10423964
    Abstract: A mobile device for use by a health care recipient in countering phantom billing fraud in connection with receiving health care services. A sensor bank comprises components capturing and outputting biometric data corresponding to the health care recipient and components capturing and outputting location data of the health care recipient. A sensor fusion component receives the biometric data and the location data and determines a confidence score that a particular user indicated by the biometric data was at a particular location indicated by the location information. An event record creator compiles the location data, the biometric data and the confidence score to create an event record evidencing the whereabouts of the health care recipient at a particular time.

  • Patent number: 10424400
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a user with a performance indicator score includes receiving a first transaction message that includes historical clinical-trial performance data from one or more processors at a clinical research organization and receiving a second transaction message with health records data with parameters indicative of insurance claims data. The received historical clinical-trial performance data and the prescription data is translated into an updated database. Related records within the updated database are identified and one or more key performance indicators included in the data at the updated database for a first physician are identified. A score for each of the one or more key performance indicators are calculated and a performance indicator score record for the first physician is generated based on the calculated scores for each of the one or more key performance indicators.

  • Patent number: 10262112
    Abstract: A decision support system and method for optimizing medication dosages includes comprehensive patient databases correlating medications and exposure values across data models having pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic dimensions. The system determines distinctions between expected and detected medications and exposure values for a patient, and further distinguishes between non-compliant patients from compliant patients having high metabolizing characteristics with respect to certain expected but undetected medications. The system links to and reconciles the patient medical record accordingly. Graphical user interfaces display recommended dosages and projected exposure ranges for the expected and detected medications. In an embodiment, the interface presents certain alternative treatment options determined as being available with respect to the expected but undetected medications.

  • Patent number: 10249388
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to aid in the resupply of product arrays, such as contact lenses. In an aspect, this is accomplished by providing a physical product array to a reseller. Additionally, a computer-operated application is provided that displays a virtual representation of the physical product array. The reseller can then manipulate the virtual storage array to more easily identify the specific product slots in the array that need to be restocked, and the application can interact directly with an ordering system for the product manufacturer to submit orders for fulfillment. In an aspect, the application stores the product attributes for each slot of the product array, so that a simple visual inspection of the physical array can be translated into the proper product without a reseller having to determine product attributes for the specific array slots.
