  • Publication number: 20240311860
    Abstract: A method and system of determining a cost of medical treatment and providing said treatment to patients according to one embodiment, based upon the medical needs of the member patients and the amount of funds the members have had contributed on their behalf into the membership plan, including insurance methods. Patients are provided medical treatment directly by primary and basic specialty care physicians according in part to their membership levels. The treatments available are adjustable retrospectively and can be set prospectively by service assignment relating the patient's needs and the pool of providers' abilities, licensure, and equipment. In some embodiments, the reimbursements are backed by a further insurance product operated as a stop-loss or reinsurance specifically tied into the nature of the division of treatment among providers as provided for by the invention.

  • Patent number: 12082093
    Abstract: A method for configuring a flexible wireless networking system is disclosed. The system may include multiple Wi-Fi transceivers coupled to each other in parallel and selectively couplable to one or more antennas by respective switches. The method may include obtaining topology information indicating whether and how each antenna is in reach of other antennas, determining, dependent on the topology information, a configuration change including a change in which and how many of the antennas are coupled to the Wi-Fi transceivers, and initiating an activation of a switch to couple one of the antennas to one of the Wi-Fi transceivers or a deactivation of a switch to decouple one of the antennas from one of the Wi-Fi transceivers. The configuration change may be determined using a machine learning model. The configuration change may include deactivating a currently active antenna and activating at least one alternate antenna having a different coverage area.

  • Publication number: 20240203600
    Abstract: A system for facilitating artificial intelligent services (AIS) capable of providing analysis and interpretation of an emulated information based on real-time data is disclosed. The system includes a portable mobile device (“PMD”), queryable system, retrieving device, simulation and decision engine (SDE) and display device. While the PMD is used to collect real-time health data from a user who is nearby the PMD, the queryable system is operable to collect statistics of propensities and incidences within a population via a cloud network in response to the user and the real-time health data. The retrieving device, in one aspect, is configured to obtain prior results associated to the user and the SDE is able to generate possible outcomes associated to the user in accordance with prior results, the real-time health data, statistics of propensities, and incidences. The display device displays a result showing one or more possible outcomes.

  • Publication number: 20230420859
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for an antenna system capable of optimal broadside radiation. In certain embodiments, a system may include a flexible and thin polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate stack having a predetermined length. The system may include a printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication of one or more Leaky-Wave Antenna (LWA) structures on the PET substrate stack. The one or more LWA structures have a bent-stub folded LWA configuration have longitudinal asymmetry and transverse asymmetry for a broadside frequency. The bent-stub folded LWA configuration comprises a plurality of conductively unit cells having a unit cell period. Each unit cell of the plurality of conductively unit cells has a folded main feed-line and a bent stub pair with two angularly bent radiating stubs. Embodiments are structured to increase radiation per-unit length and suppress open stopband (OSB).

  • Patent number: 11763951
    Abstract: A method and system providing medical treatment to patients. In some embodiments, a patient is granted clinically sufficient access to their underlying health records and is able to observe and place treatment orders. In some embodiments, a patient and a practitioner are able to collaborate on the patient's treatments. In some embodiments, a practitioner is summoned from a pool of practitioners. In some embodiments, a change manager tracks changes to the underlying medical treatment plan for potential review, approval, modification, or rejection. Further embodiments provide a collaboration or supervision interface between patients and automated medical decision or practice systems, such as robodocs.

  • Publication number: 20220285018
    Abstract: A method and system providing medical treatment to patients. In some embodiments, a remote practitioner is connected via a referral network to an in-person clinician that can perform work that cannot be performed remotely on behalf of the practitioner. Some embodiments perform a lightweight referral for said work, where the work may be smaller than the minimum procedure code and assigned billing for the overall specific therapy being undertaken. In some embodiments, the in-person clinician is only licensed to be able to perform the tasks they are assigned. In some embodiments, the in-person clinicians operate as the remote in-person medical assistance needed for the remote practitioner to practice medicine. Billing and pricing methods are disclosed for sub-procedure-code tasks.
