  • Patent number: 11887709
    Abstract: Systems and methods predict functional and cognitive recovery of a person after the person has experienced a brain injury such as traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular disease, and stroke. A computer system includes a database that stores multimodal data of the person recovering from a brain injury and a computer that analyzes the multimodal data over multiple intervals that span several months of time. The computer executes longitudinal heterogeneous trajectory analysis on the multimodal data and executes separation of heterogeneous groups that include good recovery potential of the brain injury, moderate recovery potential of the brain injury, and poor recovery potential of the brain injury. Based on the longitudinal heterogeneous trajectory analysis and the separation of the heterogeneous groups, the computer predicts functional recovery of the person from the brain injury.

  • Patent number: 11842365
    Abstract: The technology described herein relates to using predictions about patients' future health care utilization and/or outcomes (e.g., patients' expected future adherence to medication regimens) and the expected economic benefits of targeted improvements in the same utilization and/or outcomes (e.g., reduced likelihood of hospitalization attributable to more consistent medication use) to implement more effective and efficient health care improvement programs. The technology described here computes which subset of patients should be included in a value-based health care provider payment scheme and what the specific bonus payment amounts should be such that expected benefits from better patient outcomes, once realized, are greater than the expected costs of the payment scheme itself.

  • Patent number: 11830609
    Abstract: A system and method of tracking and managing a decedent to prevent a loss or misidentification of the decedent during transfer to a final disposition, such as a funeral home or crematorium. The system includes a server that may be integrated into an electronic health record, with the server automatically receiving data related to a decedent used to automatically create and populate a case file. The server associates a unique scannable indicium associated with the case file and the decedent, which is scanned throughout the process of transferring the decedent to a final disposition. Prior to the final transfer, the server notifies the final location of the pending transfer and includes a copy of the scannable indicium. Upon a verification of a match between the scannable indicium, the server authorizes a safe, secure, efficient, and consistent transfer of a decedent to a final location.
