  • Patent number: 12683017
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system assists resolution of service cases for medical imaging devices by retrieving device and case data, estimating likelihoods and timeframes for multiple resolution pathways, and presenting results in a user interface. Input may include images of device error messages captured by a camera; optical character recognition extracts text, and language detection and translation normalize messages for analysis. Models leverage historical repair data, technician profiles, and part replacement indicators to score pathways and forecast durations. A cost metric can combine likelihood and timeframe with service and scheduling costs to recommend actions and trigger service calls. The approach reduces downtime and improves dispatch and repair efficiency across customer and provider personnel.

  • Patent number: 12670988
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for contextualizing medical events and detecting errors, for example, in claims data. The method may include receiving medical event data from one or more reporting entities, and converting the received data by normalizing and grouping by provider and by medical event. The converted data is presented to the subject of the medical event(s), via a user interface (UI). The UI includes one or more interactive graphical elements (e.g., virtual buttons) each configured to provide feedback on specific aspects of the converted data for the medical event. Based on input from the subject via the UI, it is determined whether the subject believes the received data is correct. If the data is indicated to be incorrect, further investigation may be triggered, and the payor and/or reporting entity may be alerted.

  • Patent number: 12670989
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method enable real-time healthcare transaction processing based on ambient audio captured during physician-patient conversations. The system includes one or more microphones to receive spoken dialogue and a speech recognition engine to transcribe the audio into text. A natural language processing module analyzes the text to identify clinical intents corresponding to healthcare transactions. The identified intent is standardized into a structured query format and transmitted to an external system via a communications interface. In response, the system receives external data such as insurance coverage status, cost estimates, or authorization requirements. A user interface displays the external response in real time during the clinical encounter, allowing the physician or patient to make informed decisions. Additional modules may include context monitoring logic to suppress non-actionable utterances and a secure storage engine to log queries and responses.

  • Patent number: 12646034
    Abstract: A clinical documentation improvement (CDI) smart scoring method may include predicting, via per-condition diagnosis machine learning (ML) models and based on clinical evidence received by a system, a probability that a medical condition is under-documented and, via per-condition documentation ML models and based on documentation received by the system, a probability that a medical condition is over-documented. The under- and over-documentation scores are combined in view of special indicators and queryability factors, which can also be evaluated using ML query prediction models, to generate an initial CDI score. This CDI score can be further adjusted, if necessary or desired, to account for factors such as length of stay, payer, patient location, CDI review timing, etc. The final CDI score can be used to prioritize patient cases for review by CDI specialists to quickly and efficiently identify meaningful CDI opportunities.

  • Patent number: 12633409
    Abstract: A wireless locating system and method include receiving first messages at a server. The first messages include bed location data entered manually on a user interface of a first patient bed. The first messages also include signal strength data from a plurality of wireless access points in communication with the first patient bed. A first signal strength profile for the first patient bed at a first location is built by the server. The first patient bed is removed from the first location and a second bed is moved into the first location. The second patient bed does not have manual location data entry capability. A second signal strength profile is built by the server for the second patient bed. The server compares the second signal strength profile with the first signal strength profile and determines that the second patient bed is at the first location if the second signal strength profile matches the first signal strength profile.
