  • Patent number: 11636955
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a computer-implemented method for communications centric care. A caregiver interface serves a patient interface in accordance with a disease management program to collaboratively lead the patient to recover from a disease. The method can include obtaining content items relating to a patient and labeling each content item as either a secure content item or an unsecure content item, and then comparing the labels with identifiers of the patient, the caregiver, and/or a schedule key events of the disease management program. The content items are selectively bifurcated for the patient and/or caregiver interfaces. As such, the interfaces can manage communications in accordance with the disease management program.

  • Patent number: 11631476
    Abstract: A computer program product for gathering respondent input for determining a ranking of states each characterized by a set of selected levels each associated to an attribute. The interface mechanism provides for inputting selected attribute levels of a respondent state and for ranking of comparable alternative states determined in response to the inputted respondent state, in comparison with that respondent state. The alternative states are each displayed as the set of attributes with the associated set of alternative levels simultaneously and with an input field for inputting a preference indication of the shown alternative state compared with the respondent state. This allows the respondent input to be entered with very few input actions and little switching between screens. Only the selected attribute levels of the respondent state and the rankings and identifications of the determined alternative states need to be transmitted to the central computer.

  • Patent number: 11610675
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamically reallocating resources to users of a coaching service. The method can include initially allocating resources to users of the coaching service, receiving indications of activities of the users relative to their allocated resources, and comparing the activities relative to a reference value to produce an outcome including a likelihood that a target user will benefit from a target resource. Upon identifying the target user, a dynamic reallocation process deallocates the target resource from another user and reallocates the target resource to the target user.

  • Patent number: 11587679
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for training a hybrid machine learning (ML) computer model to simulate a biophysical system of a patient and predict patient classifications based on results of simulating the biophysical system. A mechanistic model is executed to generate a training dataset. A surrogate ML model is trained to replicate logic of the mechanistic computer model and generate patient feature outputs based on surrogate ML model input parameters. A transformation ML model is trained to transform patient feature outputs of the surrogate ML model into a distribution of patient features. A generative ML model is trained to encode samples from a uniform distribution of input patient data into mechanistic model parameter inputs that are coherent to the target distribution of patient features and are input to the surrogate ML model. Input patient data for a patient is processed through the ML models to predict a patient classification for the patient.

  • Patent number: 11568968
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods facilitate searches by identifying instances in which search input is an ambiguous query and resolving the ambiguous query. The search system identifies ambiguous queries by querying a common data store prior to querying a patient database. More particularly, when the search system receives search input entered into a search tool, the search system queries the common name data store before querying the patient database to determine if the search input matches a common name and is an ambiguous query. If so, the search system may provide a notification to the user to indicate the search input is an ambiguous query with a common name and prompt the user to enter additional search criteria. In some instances, the search system may prevent a search from being performed on the patient database if the search input matches a common name until additional search criteria is entered.

  • Patent number: 11545248
    Abstract: A machine learning system for training a data model to predict data states in medical orders is described. The machine learning system is configured to train a data model to predict whether a medical order requires prior authorization (“PA”) for medical orders within a medical order data set so that related systems may process incoming medical orders with PA determinations predicted by the data model. The machine learning system includes a first data warehouse system. The first prescription processing system generates a data model of historical orders and payer responses, apply a predictive machine learning model to the data model to generate a trained predictor of whether a medical order requires PA, associated with order data, apply the trained predictor to a plurality of production orders to determine PA for each of the plurality of production orders, and process the plurality of production orders with each associated PA determination.
