  • Patent number: 12731667
    Abstract: A system and method for a seamless provision of discounting for prescription services that are not eligible for financial coverage by a plan, such as a Medicare Part D plan. The system and method take denials from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and seamlessly provides to end users (patients) a discounted cost for the denied coverage of the prescription. Denials of coverage are transmitted to a switch server where rejection codes are detected at the switch server and relayed to the seamless server. The seamless server then provides an approval instead of the original PBM.

  • Patent number: 12725686
    Abstract: Techniques for maintaining state and context of conversations between a user and digital assistant using threads. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a natural language utterance from a user during a session, obtaining a topic context instance for the natural language utterance, and generating, by a GenAI model, a list comprising an executable action based on candidate actions associated with the topic context instance. The executable action is then executed to produce an output. The executing includes determining there is no thread running within the session that is associated with the topic context instance, the executable action, or both, and responsive to determining there is no thread running, creating a thread associated with the topic context instance, the executable action, or both, and executing, using the thread, the executable action to obtain the output. The output or a communication derived from the output is then sent to the user.

  • Patent number: 12711420
    Abstract: A machine learning (ML) method for predicting an electronic structure of an atomic system. The method includes receiving an atomic identifier and an atomic position for atoms in the atomic system; receiving a basis set including rules for forming atomic orbitals of the atomic system; forming the atomic orbitals of the atomic system; and predicting an electronic structure of the atomic system based on the atom identifier, the atom position for the atoms in the atomic system, and the atomic orbitals of the atomic system. The ML method is capable of extremely accurate and fast molecular property prediction. The ML can directly purpose basis dependent information to predict molecular electronic structure. The ML method, which may be referred to as an orbital mixer model, uses multi-layer perception (MLP) mixer layers within a simple, intuitive, and scalable architecture to achieve competitive Hamiltonian and molecular orbital energy and coefficient prediction accuracies.

  • Patent number: 12712060
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a multimodal cryptographic bio-human machine interface (“CB-HMI”), which seamlessly translates the user's touch-based entries into encrypted biochemical, biophysical, and biometric indices. The CB-HMI features thin hydrogel-coated chemical sensors and inference algorithms to non-invasively and inconspicuously acquire biochemical indices such as circulating molecules that partition onto the skin (here, ethanol and acetaminophen). Additionally, the CB-HMI hosts physical sensors and associated algorithms to simultaneously acquire the user's heart rate, blood oxygen level, and fingerprint minutiae pattern. Additional or alternative embodiments include a touch-based non-invasive monitoring solution for lithium pharmacotherapy management. The system is constructed based on a thin organohydrogel-coated lithium ion-selective electrode (TOH-ISE), where the TOH coating was engineered to render stabilized conditions for sensing.

  • Patent number: 12694956
    Abstract: A method and system for merging healthcare records across multiple locations is presented. The method first creates anonymized healthcare records by removing personally identifiable information. The method then converts each record into an embedding and appends a site locator identifying only the originator of the healthcare record. Then these embeddings are combined with similarly processed embeddings from multiple sites to create a merged database of embeddings derived from patient healthcare records. A classifier is trained to predict likely outcomes based on the merged database of embeddings. For a new patient, the corresponding healthcare record is converted to an embedding and the merged database of embeddings is then searched for a most similar patient and a treatment is recommended for the new patient, based on the prediction of the classifier.
