  • Patent number: 11954104
    Abstract: A database query processing system for blood donation tracking includes a database, a network interface circuit and a processing circuit. The database stores records for a plurality of blood donors, each record comprising an amount of a blood component the blood donor has donated. The processing circuit determines an amount of a blood component a first donor may donate based on records for a plurality of donations made by the first blood donor and based on a limit of an amount of blood component the donor may donate in a predetermined period of time. The processing circuit further receives a request for the amount of the blood component the first donor may donate and transmits the amount of the blood component the first donor may donate to the remote computing device.

  • Patent number: 11894121
    Abstract: A method of creating a genetically personalized intravenous or intramuscular nutrition therapy treatment formula includes developing an initial mapping of individual micronutrients to SNPs, symptoms, conditions, and therapeutic objectives based on existing individual scientific literature references that link the specific micronutrient to an SNP, a symptom, a condition, or a therapeutic objective. The method includes receiving an SNP and a symptom, a condition, or a therapeutic objective for a patient, comparing the SNP, symptom, condition, therapeutic objective combination with the initial mapping to identify matching micronutrients, creating a custom treatment formula with the identified micronutrients, and treating the patient with the formula. Feedback data about the formula's effectiveness is received and the initial mapping is updated to account for the feedback data.

  • Patent number: 11869658
    Abstract: A first calculator calculates a first index value quantitatively indicating an imaging failure state for each imaging menu using a first calculation formula having a variable based on the number of times of occurrence of imaging failure for each imaging menu and a variable based on the rate of occurrence of imaging failure for each imaging menu. A first extractor automatically extracts a target menu as an imaging menu to be considered to prevent occurrence of imaging failure based on the first index value. A second extractor extracts a consideration image as a failed image associated with the target menu. A screen output controller generates a conference screen for displaying the target menu and the consideration image. A client terminal displays the conference screen on a display panel.

  • Patent number: 11791024
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system to implement localized device specific limitations on access to patient medical information. An authorizing device receives a request from a requestor device via a dose proximity communication protocol requesting to access an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with a patient. The authorizing device receives user input via a user interface specifying conditions for permitting access to the EMR. The authorizing device transmits an access authorization request to a patient registry system requesting the patient registry system to provide access to the EMR associated with the patient in accordance with the conditions for permitting access specified by the user input. The patient registry system generates a temporary access data structure based on the specified conditions. The patient registry system processes a subsequent request from the requestor device to access the EMR in accordance with the temporary access data structure.
