  • Patent number: 11490833
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing a remote test of range of motion of a person operating a user device includes a transceiver, a processor, and a display. The transceiver is configured to transmit a link to the user device and to receive motion data from the user device. The processor is configured to calculate in real time, based on the motion data, the position of the user device to enable real-time display to a test provider of the performance of the test and to determine in real time the quality of the test. The display is configured to show in real time a continuous indication of the performance of the test and quality results of the test. A method for performing a remote test of range of motion of a person operating a user device is also described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11023679
    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically mapping a verbatim narrative to a term in a medical terminology dictionary includes a natural language processor and a comparator. The natural language processor processes terms from the medical terminology dictionary and from a medical coding decision database to generate a processed database that also includes the original terms from the medical terminology dictionary and the medical coding decision database. The natural language processor also processes the verbatim narrative. The comparator compares the processed verbatim narrative to the terms in the processed database and determines whether the processed verbatim narrative is an exact match to a term in the processed database. The verbatim narrative is mapped to the term in the medical terminology dictionary that corresponds to the term in the processed database that is an exact match. The verbatim narratives may include adverse event narratives, concomitant medication narratives, or other types of narratives.
