  • Patent number: 11436284
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein disclose a back-end computer to generate a risk score and a front-end visualization engine to hierarchically display the generated risk core. The back-end computer users a machine learning model for a stepwise perturbation from a digital reference profile until a user profile to be score is reached. The computer may calculate intermediate risk score for each perturbation and calculate the final risk score after all the perturbations are completed. The front-end visualization engine generates an interactive hierarchical display showing information associated with the risk score calculation. More specifically, the visualization engine may show a filtered list of users sharing one or more attributes with the user profile, a visual rendering of the top factors contributing to the risk score, and individual input values within a factor; and juxtapose the scores and attributes of the user profile in the graphical information display of the associated population.

  • Patent number: 11294547
    Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a system and method for a three-dimensional interface for interacting with a database. The three-dimensional interface can include an interactive three-dimensional atlas depicting an element of anatomy, machine, device, or other object. Given the three-dimensional nature of the atlas, a user can zoom in on particular areas to view them with more specificity. Different structural points of the anatomy are labeled with names or coordinates, such that the user can select one of the structural points and search a database for information related to that specific structural point. The user can also use specific keywords to search with respect to the specific structural point selected. The three-dimensional interface and atlas are displayed to the user on a computing device that can either house the database within its memory or alternately communicate with the database over a network.
