  • Patent number: 11145415
    Abstract: A system including a range of motion module, a quality of sleep module, an overall module, and a control module. The range of motion module, subsequent to performing a procedure on a patient, determines a first range of motion score of the patient based on a signal generated by a sensor. The quality of sleep module, subsequent to performing the procedure on the patient, determines a first quality of sleep score or a first pain score based on the signal generated by the sensor. The overall module determines a combined score based on (i) the first range of motion score, and (ii) the first sleep score or the first pain score. The control module (i) determines whether an outcome of the procedure is positive based on the combined score, and (ii) stores the determined outcome and the combined score in a memory.

  • Patent number: 11120908
    Abstract: A web-based interface enables medical personnel to remotely monitor medical devices. A monitoring system records operational data and alarms from the medical devices in a file. However, since network connections between the medical devices and the monitoring system are intermittent, the file does not contain a contiguous stream of data for each medical device. The file pauses recording during gaps in network connectivity. The system displays current data, as well as a list of alarms. If medical personnel wish to view more detail about an earlier time or one of the alarms, the system calculates where in the file the medical device data was recorded. This calculation accounts for the discontiguous nature of the data. The system uses times the network connection is made and broken to calculate an index into the file that corresponds to the time of the user-selected alarm.

  • Patent number: 10937551
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for performing entity differentiation. A cognitive medical system ingests a corpus of medical content having references to medical entities, and performs entity recognition on the medical content to identify the medical entities. Responsive to the cognitive medical system identifying a medical entity having a plurality of annotations for a same medical entity attribute, an entity differentiation component executes an ordered set of entity differentiation algorithms, corresponding to the medical entity, for differentiating medical entity attribute values. The entity differentiation component runs the ordered set of entity differentiation algorithms, in order, on the plurality of annotations for the attribute to generate a ranked list of medical entity attribute values corresponding to the annotations in the plurality of annotations. The cognitive medical system performs a cognitive operation on the medical entity based on the ranked list of medical entity attribute values.
