  • Patent number: 11967429
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scan preparation are provided. The systems may obtain a first parameter set of a subject to be scanned by a medical device acquired before a scan is performed on the subject. The first parameter set may relate to a physiological motion of the subject acquired before the scan is performed on the subject. The systems may predict, based on the first parameter set and an estimation model, a second parameter set of the subject. The second parameter set may relate to the physiological motion of the subject. The systems may determine at least one scan parameter for the scan based at least in part on the second parameter set. The systems may cause the medical device to perform the scan on the subject based on the at least one scan parameter.

  • Patent number: 11935634
    Abstract: A system for predicting and summarizing medical events from electronic health records includes a computer memory storing aggregated electronic health records from a multitude of patients of diverse age, health conditions, and demographics including medications, laboratory values, diagnoses, vital signs, and medical notes. The aggregated electronic health records are converted into a single standardized data structure format and ordered arrangement per patient, e.g., into a chronological order. A computer (or computer system) executes one or more deep learning models trained on the aggregated health records to predict one or more future clinical events and summarize pertinent past medical events related to the predicted events on an input electronic health record of a patient having the standardized data structure format and ordered into a chronological order.

  • Patent number: 11929163
    Abstract: A computerized method of automated device efficacy determination for multiple monitor devices includes receiving streaming data including multiple health data values sensed by multiple monitor devices, each value indicative of health status of one or more members, and identifying first and second health data values from first and second target ones of the multiple monitor devices. The method includes determining first and second measured health status values of first and second ones of the members according to the identified first and second health data values, and aggregating the determined first measured health status value of the first member with the determined second measured health status value of the first member or the measured health status value of the second member. The method includes comparing the aggregated measured health status values to a target device efficacy threshold to determine an outcome-based device efficacy of the first and second target monitor devices.

  • Patent number: 11896747
    Abstract: A medical treatment machine, such as a home dialysis machine, can receive prescription parameters that define parameters of a medical treatment to be administered to a patient. A medical prescription is entered by a clinician into a clinical information system (CIS) that calls a system to evaluate the compatibility of the entered prescription by transmitting the prescription parameters to a server that has access to a database of medical devices and their operational parameters. The server compares the treatment parameters of the medical prescription to the operational parameters of the medical device and generates a prescription compatibility response indicting if the treatment parameters of the medical prescription can be executed by the medical device. The server returns to the CIS the prescription compatibility response to allow the prescription, e.g. in a digital or program form, to be securely transmitted or delivered via a connected health system to the medical device.

  • Patent number: 11901057
    Abstract: A system and method for managing medication orders, including changes to those orders, is described. A server receives medication orders from a pharmacy and communicates those orders to an infusion pump. The infusion pump communicates status messages to the server and the server compares the status messages to the medication orders to determine if the there were any changes to the order, or if a medication was administered absent a medication order. The server assigns a new order identification number to the status message if needed. The system may also reconcile original medication orders with information associated with a new order identification number and stores the information in the eMAR of a patient.

  • Patent number: 11830621
    Abstract: This invention provides a histologic system and method for rapidly and accurately assessing tumor margins for the presence or absence of tumor using machine learning algorithms. This affords a rapid and accurate histologic tumor readout and increase process efficiency and decreases the chance for human error. Advantageously and uniquely, the system and method allows for analyzing the tissue section as complete or incomplete as the first criteria to determine whether a tissue section is clear of tumor. A machine learning process receives whole slide images (WSI) of tissue and determines (a) if each image of the WSI contains complete/incomplete tissue samples and (b) if each image of the WSI contains tumorous tissue or an absence thereof. A reconstruction process generates a model of the tissue that maps types of tissue therein, and a display process provides results of the model or report for use and manipulation by a user.

  • Patent number: 11817218
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media are provided for determining a patient's severity of illness score (pSIS) for a patient admitted to an acute care facility. Data corresponding to physiologic components is received from an electronic medical record associated with a patient admitted to an acute care healthcare facility. The physiologic components include vital sign measurements and laboratory tests. Weights are assigned to a minimum, median, and maximum measured values for each vital sign. Weights are assigned to minimum and maximum values for each laboratory test. The weights are derived based on a deviation from normal within a time period. A pSIS is determined by summing the weights. Additional data corresponding to physiologic components may be received from the electronic medical record. The additional data may be utilized to update the weights and determine a patient's updated pSIS that may be utilized to track a progress of the patient.

  • Patent number: 11694780
    Abstract: A system and method for assigning a cannabidiol point value and recommending cannabidiol-infused edibles based on biological parameters and activity information. The system and method assign a cannabidiol point value to a cannabidiol-infused edible, and then recommends and delivers a cannabidiol diet to a user based on the user's biological parameters and activity information. An algorithm converts the biological parameters and activity information of the user into a biological and activity point value. At least one cannabidiol-infused edible is assigned a cannabidiol point value. The user scans the cannabidiol-infused edible to ascertain cannabidiol point value. The algorithm derives a recommended cannabidiol dosage for the user based on the association of the cannabidiol point value with the biological and activity point value. The user monitors the cannabidiol point value and consumed cannabidiol-infused edibles on a portable communication device. The cannabidiol-infused edibles are delivered to the user.
