  • Patent number: 10978198
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining patient financial responsibility for multiple prescription products across multiple healthcare transactions. A service provider computer can receive multiple healthcare transactions, and can evaluate each to determine if it includes a total group transaction number and a transaction number. The service provider computer can compare the transaction number to the total group transaction number to determine if all transactions within a group have been received. Once received, the transactions can be transmitted to the claims processor computer for adjudication. Upon receiving the adjudicated response for each transaction within the group, the service provider computer can identify the patient co-pay for each of the adjudicated responses in the group and can calculate a total patient pay amount based on the group of patient co-pays. The total patient pay amount may then be transmitted to a healthcare provider computer associated with a healthcare provider.

  • Patent number: 10832818
    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: 10818384
    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.
