Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for remote patient management and monitoring. The patient is monitored with a wireless sensor system connected to an application executing on a patient user computing device. The system continuously monitors physiological parameters, such as, but not limited to, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, perfusion index, pleth variability index, and/or respiration rate from the photoplethysmograph. The system triggers alarms if the patient physiological data violates thresholds. Care providers review patient data and associated alarm(s) with graphical user interfaces.

Abstract: Systems and methods present practical applications to directing emergency alerts from cellular-based message distribution systems to distributed desktop applications via a desktop application gateway. Logic in the desktop applications and their corresponding IP network gateways for the desktop application may direct alerts from the cellular-based system to distributed desktop applications having a connection to the gateway. A distributed application may determine a location of the user and include enhancements to display the alert at a user's computing device. The gateway for the distributed application may store the location information for each logged-in user or registered instance of the user. An interface between the cell broadcast center and the distributed application gateway may allow the gateway to receive the alert, including a region for distributing the alert, from the cell broadcast center, and send the alert to all registered users with a location matching the alert region.

Abstract: In some embodiments, methods and systems are provided for managing emergency notifications and incident reports at a commercial facility. A graphical interface enables a worker associated with a facility to input information regarding an ongoing/impending emergency event, e.g., Active Threat, Acts of Violence, Fire/Explosion, Injury, Power Failure, Missing Child, Severe Weather, Robbery, Hazmat, Bomb Threat, Covid-19, Store Closure, Special Events etc. This information is processed via an analytical engine that evaluates the entered information in view of various business rules in order to identify the appropriate workers to notify, and generates and transmits the notifications to the employees determined to be suitable for receiving a notification. In response to the generation of the emergency notification, an incident report engine evaluates the entered emergency, and automatically generates an incident report, which may be later accessed and/or modified by workers having a suitable employee access level.

Abstract: A system and method for providing increased traffic carrying capacity of a road, such as a highway, by modifying an existing roadway from, for example, four lanes to five lanes, to create an additional travel lane. The system and method dynamically changes the width of travel lanes using, for example, embedded pavement lights, or other lighting arrangements, in lieu of traditional painted lane lines. As traffic volumes increase and speeds decrease along the road, an intelligent transport system (ITS) sends a congestion signal to the overhead lane controls and dynamic message signs (DMS) along the entire road segment of interest. The posted speed limits are changed, and the lane markings are controlled to dynamically increase the number of lanes in the road segment to five, for example, of narrower widths until traffic volumes reduce and the number of lanes can be returned to four, for example, with normal speed limits.
