  • Publication number: 20180108430
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing patient or patient populations within a fully integrated captivated healthcare system, which includes creating a patient profile or a patient population profile; screening, assessing and treating a patient or patient population; reviewing, analyzing, and comparing a patient or patient population to a control group or pre-treatment patient profile or patient population profile; and prioritizing, scheduling, and care coordination for a patient or patient population as part of follow-up healthcare assessment and services included in the fully integrated healthcare delivery system. Part of the methods and system includes the ability to utilize comparative patient and patient population data to assess and control healthcare access, quality, and costs.

  • Publication number: 20150127381
    Abstract: A process that leverages technology to facilitate team-based coordinated care. Techniques for allowing a patient to schedule a future or on-demand videoconference appointment with a health care provider (behavioral or physical), check-in for the appointment, and participate in the videoconference. Further, the system allows a first provider to create and modify in real-time a schedule that modifies availability by types of appointments available and selected by patients/colleagues, view a virtual waiting room in which a patient is virtually located after the patient has checked in, initiate the videoconference, check the availability of a second provider, connect the second provider to the videoconference, view the patient's EHR, add indications about the diagnosis/plan and other notes to the EHR, and generate a bill to the patient for services rendered.

  • Patent number: 8273035
    Abstract: This invention relates to the detection of human biovibrations using a digital signal processing (DSP) actigraph worn by the individual, and in at least one method using any noise existing in the signals. Human biovibrations result from the human body having reverberations and oscillations from bodily functioning. The DSP actigraph has been shown to be able to identify heart beat and breathing of an individual. The invention includes a method comprising: recording movement data of an individual that includes biovibrations data, determining when the movement data substantially falls within a predetermined threshold representative of death, and providing a notification. The invention in at least one embodiment includes a method comprising: monitoring activity counts for zero crossing mode, above threshold mode, and proportional integrative mode, providing a notification when all three activity counts are within a respective predetermined range for a period of time.
