  • Patent number: 11379747
    Abstract: A method for providing a computer-implemented medical diagnosis includes receiving an input from a user comprising at least one symptom of the user. The method also includes providing the at least one symptom as an input to a medical model, the medical model being retrieved from memory. The medical model includes a probabilistic graphical model comprising probability distributions and relationships between symptoms and diseases. The method also includes performing inference on the probabilistic graphical model to obtain a prediction of the probability that the user has that disease. The method also includes outputting an indication that the user has a disease from the Bayesian inference, wherein the inference is performed using a counterfactual measure.

  • Patent number: 11380434
    Abstract: In various formats and various technologies across the health care systems/locations, there is a huge need to integrate and make it easier for the user to apply all these technologies across the board, without the need to become an IT/software expert or hire one in-house, which is very expensive and duplicative effort for other similar organizations in the health care industry to do the same exact function. This document describes a software system that allows our system (ViTelNet) to design, configure, deploy, and run sophisticated custom applications across a variety of hardware platforms, without writing any code. In one example, we describe a method/system for the telehealth platform. In one example, we describe the development tools for such a platform. Many variations and examples are also presented.

  • Patent number: 11373139
    Abstract: Medical item usage is monitored, and a number of new items to store in a dispensing device is determined. A first maximum number of items that can be stored in a first compartment of the dispensing device is determined based on a volumetric space of an item unit loaded into the first compartment, and a second maximum number of items that can be stored in a second compartment is determined based on the determined first maximum number, the volumetric space of the respective item unit loaded into the first compartment, and a change of volume between the first and second compartments and, when the number of new item units to store in the dispensing device exceeds the first maximum number of items that can be stored the first compartment, the second compartment is assigned for storage of new item units, and a notification is sent regarding the assignment.

  • Patent number: 11170340
    Abstract: Systems and methods for efficiently managing item deliveries are described. In an example, a computer system may identify a first handling sequence of a first item and sequence steps along the handling sequence. The sequence steps may be common to a different handling sequence of a second item. The computer system may determine that the first item should be grouped in a container grouping the second item based on the sequence steps being common. The computer system may generate an identifier and metadata for the container. The identifier may identify the container to handling systems. The metadata may identify the items of the container, a first sequence step to group the first item, and a second sequence step to ungroup the first item. The computer system may distribute the identifier and/or the metadata to the handling systems.
