Patent number: 11023467Abstract: A graph database for outbreak tracking and management is disclosed. In an example embodiment, an outbreak management system includes a memory device storing instructions that define a graph database for disease outbreak tracking. The instructions specify for a given host that a host node is created and an episode node is connected to the host node via a ‘case’ link. The episode node is associated with episode parameters that are related to a disease classification of the host. In addition, the instructions specify that an outbreak node is connected to the episode node via a ‘part of’ link to indicate that the host has become part of an outbreak of the disease. The outbreak node is connected to a definition node via a ‘defined as’ link. The definition node specifies disease parameters of the disease that is related to the outbreak node.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignees: Baxter International Inc., Baxter Healthcare SAInventors: Paul Randall, Ian Smith, Jonathan Haynes, Sam Wilkinson

Patent number: 10997562Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a user interface uniting two primary components, a list view and a reading pane, within a message reading application. Technologies are also described for synchronizing status and parameters between the two primary user interface components. In particular, a user interface for reading messages can represent all components of a conversation with both a list view for presenting a message map, and a reading pane for presenting a content view. The list view can present a list of messages grouped by conversation. The reading pane window can contain smaller windows or frames. Each of the smaller windows or frames can contain a message within a given conversation. Synchronization provided between the list view and a reading pane can allow message selection in one of the user interface components to cause display and selection of the corresponding message in the other user interface component.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Emmett McCann, Michael Anthony Affronti, Andrew Russell Brauninger, Jorge Pereira, James J.

Patent number: 10955956Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and an input region separate from the display. The device detects a first portion of a first input on the input region. In response to detecting the first portion of the first input: if the first portion of the first input meets first criteria that do not require a characteristic intensity of the first input to increase above a first intensity threshold in order to be met, the device displays a precursor object of a user interface object that includes one or more selectable options. While displaying the precursor object, a second portion of the first input is detected on the input region, wherein an intensity of the first input increases above the first intensity threshold. In response to detecting the increase in intensity, the device reveals the user interface object by an amount that varies with a current intensity of the first input.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Brian T.

Patent number: 10886030Abstract: A mechanism is provided for presenting contextually relevant patient data in relation to other patients in a graphical user interface. Using a medical condition associated with a patient and a current treatment being followed by the patient, a cohort of similar patients with the same medical condition are identified. For each of the patients in the cohort, a set of next treatments are identified for those patients that stopped the current treatment and followed a next treatment. For each next treatment followed by a patent in the cohort of similar patients, a determination is made as to whether the next treatment controlled or failed to control the same medical condition for the patient. Then a presentation is provided indicating the set of next treatments, a number of patients following each next treatment, whether each treatment controlled or failed to control the same medical condition, and a statistical significance.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jacob Green, Sarah Miller, Jeffrey L.

Patent number: 10884584Abstract: The present invention provides a system and methods for managing large user selections in an application. An invertible collection software module solves the problem of managing a large number of user selections within an application. When not inverted, the invertible collection tracks what a user has selected. When inverted, the invertible collection tracks what a user has not selected thus saving memory. One method may comprise defining a specific context having a set of items available for user selection, representing, by an empty inverted invertible collection, the selection of all items within the specific context, tracking one or more items a user has deselected within the specific context depending upon whether the collection is inverted or not inverted and tracking one or more items a user has deselected.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anthony P.

Patent number: 10877620Abstract: A system includes a data record (such as an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)) and a user interface for modifying (e.g., storing data in) the data record. The data record includes both free-form text elements and discrete data elements. The user interface includes user interface elements for receiving free-form text data. In response to receiving free-form text data via the free-form text user interface elements, a suggested action is identified, such as a suggested action to take in connection with one of the discrete data elements of the data record. Output is generated representing the suggested action. A user provides input indicating acceptance or rejection of the suggested action. The suggested action may be performed in response to the user input.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: MModal IP, LLCInventors: Detlef Koll, Christopher Scott, Juergen Fritsch, Anna Abovyan, Michael Finke
