  • Patent number: 10664935
    Abstract: The disclosed medical and rehabilitation systems and methods evaluate injured operators, medically, mentally, and occupationally. The operators are highly-trained military or law enforcement personnel that have specific tactical requirements, among other physical demands, to perform their jobs properly. The occupational evaluation of the injured operator relates to their occupational requirements and how their injuries affect their abilities to perform the tactical requirements of their jobs. The rehabilitation programs can be customized to various needs of the units, branches, or other groups to which the injured operators belong. Further, the injuries of one or more operators can be tracked and data related to operators suffering similar injuries can be used to help treat each operator and to help give commanders of the injured operators more injury data on which to base decisions about the operator and the unit or other group of operators.

  • Patent number: 10565315
    Abstract: Mapping of semantics in healthcare may involve accessing first transaction data in a first database, the first transaction data corresponding to a collection of a first number of fields defined for a condition using a first semantic system to store information and calculating a first distribution of information in the first transaction data. Mapping may also involve accessing second transaction data in a second database, the second transaction data corresponding to a second semantic system different than the first semantic system and the second database comprising a second number of fields using the second semantic system to store information, and calculating a second distribution of information in the second transaction data. The distributions may then be compared and a map relating the semantic systems may be generated and used to communicate between the first and second semantic systems.
