  • Patent number: 10978184
    Abstract: A medical information server receives a signal from a client device over a network, representing a first user interaction of a user with respect to first medical information displayed to a user. A user interaction analyzer invokes a first set of ECCD rules associated with the user based on the first user interaction to determine medical data categories that the user is likely interested in. The first set of ECCD rules was generated by an ECCD engine based on prior user interactions of the user. A data retrieval module accesses medical data servers corresponding to the medical data categories to retrieve medical data of the medical data categories. A view generator integrates the retrieved medical data to generate one or more views of second medical information and transmits the views of second medical information to a client device to be displayed on a display of the client device.

  • Patent number: 10950349
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable performing a health analysis of a user using a smart floor mat. Specifically, a sensory array of the smart floor mat collects static and dynamic pressure data for capturing the movement and force exerted by a user's feet as the user walks across the smart floor mat. A healthcare analysis is then performed by comparing this current measurement data against the user's historical measurement data and expected results to generate a healthcare insight such as a trend, pattern, or deviation. The healthcare insight can predict or indicate a health issue. If a deviation exceeding a predefined permissible threshold exists, a healthcare professional can be notified.

  • Patent number: 10671706
    Abstract: The present invention provides a comprehensive tissue management system for transplantable materials like tissues and organs. The tracking portion of the system prompts and verifies that staff members of a medical establishment like a hospital have handled, stored, transported, reconstituted, and used the tissue or organ materials in a safe and regulatory-compliant manner from the point of receipt to the point of issuance or surgical use throughout the hospital's organization. The tracing portion of the system creates an integral record that documents which hospital staff members have provided which processing steps to the tissue or organ, any associated materials used in conjunction with such tissue or organ, and an identification of the tissue or organ that was transplanted or implanted inside a patient. Such a system will enable adverse reaction investigations for transplant patients, and recalls of transplantable materials.
