  • Patent number: 11776693
    Abstract: A system provides artificial intelligence health support for people. The system renders specific, targeted treatments for people by using a flow engine and a conversational service to call one or more conversational modules. The treatments for the people may be tracked. The flow engine and/or one or more of the modules may include different instructions to perform for different programs and/or goals that have been configured. The flow engine and/or one or more of the conversational modules may also include instructions to perform when certain features are active (which may be activated when certain programs and/or goals are configured), when data regarding activity for people are received, and so on. Other modules may be dedicated to particular programs and/or goals. Some modules may determine whether or not to perform various instructions repetitiously, and/or may determine to do so when a priority of a previous instruction is below a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11670413
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a surgical resource allocation system. Patients seeking a procedure can use the system to identify surgeons and surgical facilities. The patient can then use the system to book the procedure with a selected surgeon at a selected facility. In an example, a patient can indicate a need for a certain procedure. The patient can then provide criteria for a surgeon or facility, such as a desired location, desired time, surgeon rankings, and facility rankings. The system can then identify surgeons and facilities that match the criteria and present them for selection by the patient. The patient can then select the surgeon and facility with which the patient would like the procedure performed. With the surgeon and facility selected, the patient can then choose to book the procedure.
