  • Patent number: 11676722
    Abstract: A method of determining the risk of developing a known disease or condition or of identifying the presence of the known disease or condition in a subject includes obtaining subject data that includes results of blood tests. The blood tests include a basic metabolic panel (BMP) and a complete blood count (CBC) panel. The method further includes classifying the subject data with respect to the risk of the subject having or developing the known disease or condition by using the subject data in a machine learning classification system. The classification system includes a machine learning model previously trained on BMP and CBC data from a positive group of training subjects who received a diagnosis of the disease or condition and from a negative group of training subjects who were not diagnosed to have the disease or condition.

  • Patent number: 11651252
    Abstract: A model-assisted system for predicting survivability of a patient may include at least one processor. The processor may be programmed to access a database storing a medical record for the patient. The medical record may include at least one of structured and unstructured information relative to the patient and may lack a structured patient ECOG score. The processor may be further programmed to analyze at least one of the structured and unstructured information relative to the patient; based on the analysis, and in the absence of a structured ECOG score, generate a performance status prediction for the patient; and provide an output indicative of the predicted performance status. The analysis of at least one of the structured and unstructured information and the generation of the predicted performance status may be performed by at least one of a trained machine learning model or a natural language processing algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11613484
    Abstract: Solid waste, for example source separated organics (SSO) or commercial and industrial (C&I) waste or both, are treated by first pressurizing the waste against a screen to produce a solids fraction and a liquid fraction. The liquid fraction can be treated in an anaerobic digester. The solids fraction is pulverized or milled, for example with a hammer mill, preferably after being diluted. The pulverized or milled waste is separated again to provide a second solids faction and a second liquid fraction. The liquid fraction can be treated in an anaerobic digester. The solids fraction is primarily inert and can be landfilled, preferably after being washed.

  • Patent number: 11610201
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for expediting processing of a payment for a patient's healthcare service with a healthcare provider includes displaying an out-of-pocket cost for a patient for a healthcare service at a display interface of a computer device prior to the healthcare service being rendered. After patient selection of the healthcare service and payment of any out-of-pocket costs, a health token is issued to the patient as cryptocurrency for payment of the healthcare service. The health token is received from the healthcare provider after the healthcare provider renders the healthcare service, receives the health token from the patient for payment of the healthcare service, and embeds data pertaining to the healthcare service into the health token. Based on the data embedded in the health token, the healthcare service is approved or disapproved. If the healthcare service is approved, a payment for the healthcare service is issued to the healthcare provider.

  • Patent number: 11586997
    Abstract: The present technology calculates a value of future adherence (VFA) score which is a patient-level, predicted, expected cost of conversion from non-adherence to adherence over a specified time-frame. The score consists of three general components: (1) probability of being non-adherent, (2) cost reduction associated with being adherent, and (3) probability of converting from non-adherent to adherent. These values can be combined to create an overall VFA score. A user interface is then provided which shows at least a list of patients and information related to the VFA score.

  • Patent number: 11587179
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining and communicating patient incentive information to a prescriber. The patient incentive information may adjust the patient copay amount for a prescribed medication. The patient incentive information may be determined by evaluating pharmacy identification information and medication identifiers in a received prescription benefit check transaction and/or adjudicated response to a healthcare transaction to determine if an incentive is available to be applied to the current transaction. The incentive amount may be retrieved and the patient copay amount in the adjudicated response may be amended prior to transmitting the adjudicated response to the prescriber of the medication.

  • Patent number: 11574739
    Abstract: Systems and methods for formulating a personalized skincare product for a user. Data inputs reflecting dermal information of the user (e.g., hydration level measurements, oil level measurements, and a photograph of the user's skin reflecting a set of skin concerns) are collected by a computing device and used to determine a set of normalized scores. A skin health data set is generated based on the normalized scores and stored in memory. A skin health metric is determined based on the skin health data set and is stored in memory. The computing device determines, using a machine learning framework, one or more first skincare product formulations based on the user skin health data set. The formulation(s) can be used to manufacture one or more customized skincare products for the user and can be iteratively refined over time, e.g., by collecting additional data from the user over time.

  • Patent number: 11568364
    Abstract: A computing system can execute a correlation model for a library of health assertions to configure a correlation value for each health assertion. The correlation value comprises a correlation between knowledge associated with the health assertion and known health outcomes of individuals in a control group who have also provided responses to the health assertions. The computing system provides a health trivia session for users and based at least in part on the performance of the user, generates a morbidity risk profile that is used to classify the user in an underwriting class.

  • Patent number: 11562816
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating insulin medicament dosage regimen adherence by a subject are provided. A description of metabolic events the subject engaged in is obtained. Each event comprises a timestamp and a classification that is one of insulin regimen adherent and insulin regimen nonadherent. Events are binned into consecutive time windows on the basis of time to obtain a plurality of subsets. Adherence values are computed. Each adherence value is for a subset and is computed by dividing the insulin regimen adherent events by the total number of events in the subset. Adherence values are combined into a composite value by a process that comprises downweighting a first adherence value, representing a first time window, with respect to a second adherence value, representing a second time window, when the first time window occurs in time before the second time window. The composite value is communicated as a single representation.
