  • Patent number: 12260959
    Abstract: A system for remote guidance of medical procedures enables patients to be remotely trained by a healthcare provider on how to perform a medical procedure. The system implements Augmented Reality (AR) technology to enhance the remote training of the patient by the healthcare provider. The system includes a patient interface subsystem, a provider interface subsystem, a patient communication module, and a provider communication module. The patient interface subsystem includes an AR headset that enhances the training of the patient by providing video feed enhanced with AR instructional elements while simultaneously providing intelligent feedback during the training session. The provider interface subsystem allows the healthcare provider to remotely monitor and communicate with the patient and to provide the appropriate guidance to the patient during the training session.

  • Patent number: 12224047
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and presenting prior findings data in a radiology review workflow, based on natural language processing (NLP) of unstructured radiology report text, are disclosed. In an example, prior findings are generated with operations including: receiving text from a prior radiology report prepared for a patient in a prior radiology study; processing the text with a trained NLP engine to classify discrete prior findings in the prior radiology study that identify observed condition(s) and characteristics of the observed condition(s); and outputting or presenting the prior findings, such as in a radiology review user interface. In an example, the radiology review user interface displays the observed condition(s) and the characteristic(s) of the observed condition(s) to a user (e.g., a radiologist), and can apply sorting, filtering, or grouping based on pathology phrases or attribute words associated with the observed conditions or the characteristics of such observed conditions.

  • Patent number: 12141834
    Abstract: Systems, programs, non-transitory computer readable mediums, and methods of managing multiple and concurrent online advertising campaigns to eliminate user fatigue are disclosed. In particular, a campaign management server generates multiple target lists of users from a data warehouse for a plurality of pre-defined online advertising campaigns. The users on the target lists are selected to receive electronic communications, such as email or text, containing advertisements based upon target profiles associated with the campaigns as determined by marketing objectives. The advertising campaigns are prioritized such that users on a target list of a higher prioritized campaign are suppressed from lower prioritized campaigns in order to insure that the users receive a predetermined number of electronic communications within a set time frame.

  • Patent number: 12141770
    Abstract: An electronic commerce (e-commerce) system may send advertisement emails to customers that are registered with the e-commerce system. The advertisement emails may include mailto links. Each mailto link describes an email message that is generated when that link is selected. When a mailto link is selected, the generated email message includes one or more parameters related to a money transfer made by the customer to a second financial account. For example, the generated email message may include a customer identifier, and/or one or more parameters that indicate the second financial account to which a money transfer should be made, and an amount to be transferred. The generated email message may then be transmitted to the e-commerce system. The e-commerce system may receive the message and, based on the parameters in the received message, communicate with a payment processing system to perform the money transfer indicated in the message.

  • Patent number: 12051087
    Abstract: The computing device receives data for a plurality of events that includes a timestamp associated with a digital traffic campaign in an event processing system. Based on the timestamp of the data for each event, the computing device executes operations comprising: applying filtering using digital signal processing to the event count for the combined data for each of the one or more intervals, executing a model to compute one or more backward difference approximations for the one or more candidate systems time constants from the evaluated exponential curve, and selecting a system time constant that predicts a first time instant wherein the data for the plurality of events approaches a point on a horizontal asymptote for the evaluated exponential curve. The computing device determines an epoch for the selected system time constant and outputs the determined epoch for the selected system time constant in the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11983735
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for generating recommendation campaigns that optimize for both a desired short-term user behavior and a desired long-term user behavior. In comparison to existing techniques that focus on targeting advertisements or recommendations to specific individuals with a single goal of receiving an interaction with the advertisement from that individual (i.e., a desired short-term behavior), the disclosed implementations consider the long-term user behavior, such as increased visits to a website during a long-term rage, and generate a recommendation campaign that also optimizes for that desired long-term user behavior.

  • Patent number: 11978073
    Abstract: A guided search system for suggesting and arranging filter criteria within a user interface for presentation to a user to help guide the user's search for listings is disclosed. The system builds one or more filter criteria frequency data structures indicative of the number of times each filter criterion has been used to filter search results and how often different filter criteria are used together. The system uses the frequency data structures to predict which filter criteria a user will likely employ to narrow their search given the filter criteria the user has already used. The system provides techniques for arranging or rearranging filter criteria within a user interface, by moving, placing, or ordering suggested filter criteria within the user interface, where a user is likely to be able to recognize and interact with the placed filter criteria, based on the determined amounts of use.
