  • Patent number: 11145390
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for filtering clinical trials using machine learning techniques is disclosed. An example method generally includes receiving a first set of filters that were applied to a first plurality of clinical trials with respect to a first patient. A system determines one or more attributes of the first patient and trains a machine learning (ML) model based on the first set of filters and the one or more attributes of the first patient. The system receives a selection of a second patient, determines one or more attributes of the second patient, and generates a second set of filters by processing the one or more attributes of the second patient using the trained ML model.

  • Patent number: 11139050
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for pre-qualification of candidate patient populations. The systems and methods can be are configured for inexpensive, selective, and lightweight procedures that identify patients against desired criteria. In some implementations, willing participants are enrolled in pre-treatment execution of a clinical trial. The participants are issued telemedicine monitoring devices for capturing and reporting health information. For example, non-invasive monitoring devices can be issued to track mobility, exertion, blood pressure, heart rate, brain activity, among other options. The participants can be monitored for time periods similar to actual trial execution phases (e.g., monitoring periods of years can be used) or monitored for any length of time to develop comparable clinical histories for the participants.

  • Patent number: 10719980
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a tube system in particular by image processing of images of the tube system is provided by the present invention. In order to achieve a simulation of a medium flow through a calculated tube model, the present invention gathers a tube model from a specific tube data set. By defining the necessary parameters of a virtual injection of the medium by the user, the medium flows through the model. Using this displayed simulation for generating at least two images leads to an artificial image sequence that might support a person, which wants to examine a real structure, that corresponds to the calculated model. This might be seen in.

  • Patent number: 10713694
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining and communicating proper pricing information and other pre- and post-adjudication information, such as an availability of a lower price for a prescription, as part of the processing of a healthcare transaction. A healthcare transaction, such as a healthcare claim transaction, may be received by the service provider computer from a pharmacy computer. The service provider computer may determine if an adjudication platform is available for the prescribed product. The service provider computer may generate a modified healthcare claim transaction and transmit the modified healthcare claim transaction to a claims processor computer for adjudication. The service provider computer may receive an approved adjudicated claim transaction response and perform any post-adjudication on the response. The approved adjudicated claim transaction response may be transmitted to the pharmacy.
