  • Patent number: 11966366
    Abstract: Method and systems for creating clinical data files with secured medical information. A clinical data file may be created by converting clinical data to a single format, and the medical information may be entered into corresponding data fields in the clinical data file. The medical information may include treatment professional information, patient personal information, and/or patient image(s). Each of the data fields may be associated with an indicator, where the indicator, when enabled, may be configured to secure at least a portion of the medical information in the corresponding data field. The secured clinical data file may be configured such that, once a pass code is entered, the patient image(s) are modifiable by the addition of modification(s) that are arranged as layer(s) saved separately from the patient image(s).

  • Patent number: 11627917
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for identification of patients having an elevated near-term risk of chronic kidney disease progression, including quantitatively predicting whether or not an elevated risk of progression of Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease is likely within a time interval of up to 36 months subsequent to computing the prediction. Based on the prediction, appropriate care providers may be notified so that the risk of CKD progression may be mitigated. In some embodiments, serial measurements are obtained of urine osmolality, and a challenge with an AVP V2 antagonist and serum sodium concentration is provided. From a time series based on the serial measurements, estimates of each variable's velocity and/or doubling-time may be determined. These values then may be combined via a multivariable mathematical model for providing a leading indicator of near-term future abnormalities in kidney function.
