  • Patent number: 11551815
    Abstract: A user interface for clinical personnel provides selectable views of a plurality of medical risk scores. Questions whose answers are needed for calculation of those risk scores are asked in a question and answer area of the user interface, which allows some questions to be answered based on real time patient physiological data streams that are overridable by user provided answers. Where multiple risk score calculations require answers to the same question, the user provided answer may be supplied as an answer to the corresponding question for each risk score, rather than requiring the user to answer multiple times. Sparklines may be provided with the displayed risk scores to show trends in the risk score values, and may be updated in real time based on real time physiological data streams. The display of risk scores may visually distinguish between risk scores that have been validated and those are based on unvalidated answers to the questions.

  • Patent number: 11545267
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the application of reinforcement learning to animal medical diagnostics. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed that utilizes two (2) RL agents that are arranged sequentially and that are optimized independently from one another. The first RL agent is an assessment RL agent which takes as input from one or more of: outputs from classification artificial intelligence (AI) engines; outputs from subjective biological data storage devices, and outputs from objective biological data storage devices. Using these input(s), the assessment RL agent outputs a set of assessments which evaluate a set of conditions associated with an animal. This set of assessments is then provided as input to a second RL agent known-as a plan RL agent which determines a set of treatment recommendations and diagnostics based off this determined set of assessments.
