  • Patent number: 11544809
    Abstract: A computer system identifies supplemental materials most effective at increasing adherence for each of a plurality of different medications and provides the materials at an optimal point in time. An example method generates a first user interface for receiving an electronic prescription for a patient for a prescribed substance. Responsive to receiving the electronic prescription, the method includes obtaining adherence data for the patient, identifying supplemental programs associated with the prescribed substance from a database of supplemental programs, generating a second user interface that presents the supplemental programs for selection by the health care provider, and responsive to receiving selection of at least one of the supplemental programs in the second user interface, providing the supplemental programs to the patient. The supplemental programs identified from the database are associated with at least one rule relating to adherence data that is met by the adherence data for the patient.

  • Patent number: 11527322
    Abstract: A user interface to a medical database stores context information from previous queries and uses the context information as part of information selection criteria for a current query, without requiring the users to fully specify the information selection criteria in each query. The context information is automatically stored as a profile for each user, for each group of users and, optionally, for each institution to which a user is affiliated. In response to a current user query, a combination of the information selection criterion currently entered by the user and one or more information selection criteria previously entered by the user, group and (optionally) institution is used to query the medical database. Optionally, a user's group membership may be automatically determined, based on current physical location of the user and potential groups, for example as estimated from a meeting calendar or signals received by a wireless access point.

  • Patent number: 11521719
    Abstract: Introduced here are health management platforms able to infer the health state of a subject based on behavioral changes reflected in the digital activities performed by a subject. A health management platform can initially acquire contextual data pertaining to digital activities performed by the subject. The health management platform can identify the target(s) of the digital activities by parsing the contextual data, and then compile the digital activities and corresponding activities into a personalized valence index. Thereafter, the health management platform can compare digital activities performed by the subject to the entries included in the personalized valence index. If a matching entry is not discovered, the health management platform can identify an instance of behavior change. These instances of behavior change may be indicative of changes in the subject's health state.

  • Patent number: 11508478
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for collecting patient data are discussed herein. According to some systems and methods, a timer may be started, and a blood pressure data collection system is actuated to obtain a blood pressure measurement of a patient upon the expiration of the timer. The timer may be incorporated into a patient data collection system or method to ensure the patient is relaxed and calm prior to taking a blood pressure measurement. An event may be sensed by an environmental sensor system and the timer may be started in response to sensing the event. A clinician leaving a room where the patient is disposed is one example of an event. An interruption may be sensed by the environmental sensor system and the timer may be terminated in response to sensing the interruption. The clinician entering the room where the patient is disposed in one example of an interruption.

  • Patent number: 11488711
    Abstract: An alarm notification system can enable a clinician to respond to an alarm notification received via a computing device, which may have more advanced functionality than a pager. The clinician's device can include a notification client which can respond to alarm notifications. The notification client can also provide one or more user interfaces that enable the clinician to view information about an alarm, such as information about a patient's status, physiological parameter values, trend data, audio/video of the patient, combinations of the same, or the like. Further, the notification client can provide functionality for a clinician to respond to an alarm, annotate an alarm, and/or indicate that the clinician can or cannot respond to the alarm, among other features. In addition, the clinician device can also (or instead) include an admit module that provides for automatic association of a patient to a device or location.

  • Patent number: 11482332
    Abstract: The method of event-driven health and wellness decision support considers an individual's medical records and lifestyle; applies healthcare best practices; and recommends next steps. Medical and lifestyle records are input, converted to events and inserted in timestamp order in an event queue. Events are processed in queued order by handlers, and results recorded in a data structure called a “person state”. Some handlers create additional events and insert them in the event queue in timestamp order. Those events are in turn processed in timestamp order. Other handlers create no events, allowing processing of all queued events to eventually complete. After events representing actual occurrences are processed, events representing postulated activities are created, queued, and processed until a specific patient state representing a health and wellness goal obtains. This allows several activity paths to be compared to determine the best path to an optimal health goal. Next steps are recommended as output.

  • Patent number: 11446437
    Abstract: A system includes: a fluid delivery pump and a network of multiple record management processing nodes. The fluid delivery pump is in communication with one or more of the record management-processing nodes in the network. At least a first record management processing node receives input indicating a fluid delivery event. The fluid delivery event indicates fluid delivery from the fluid delivery pump to a recipient. The record management-processing node identifies code pertinent to the fluid delivery event; the code includes criteria in which to validate the fluid delivery event. In response to validation of the fluid delivery event as specified by the criteria in the code, a resource such as the record management-processing node triggers a transaction associated with the fluid delivery event.

  • Patent number: 11393563
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a computerized method, system and software application for coordinating medical care through a Pathways Community Hub (HUB). A Pathways Community Hub is a network of care coordination agencies which focuses its mission towards reaching individuals within the community having the greatest risk-factors through the deployment of service providers such as community care coordinators. The Pathways Community Hub finds at-risk individuals in need of medical, health-related or social services, treats identified risk factors and measures a patient's risk status over time. The goal of the Pathways Community Hub is to achieve a reduction of risk among patients through open communication and collaboration among service providers including medical service providers and community-based organizations and to reduce the overall cost of medical, health-related and social services over time within a region.
