Patent number: 11443843Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable treating a medical condition via individual customized cognitive guidance. More specifically, a current interactive and customized diagnosis object (ICDO) comprising a treatment schedule for a patient is generated by combining a set of previous ICDOs from the patient, wherein each ICDO has a structure which defines elements that are used to diagnose a symptom and match the patient with a treatment. A status of the patient is monitored in real time via an internet of things network to detect an actual event of the patient differing from the treatment schedule. In real time, the treatment schedule is modified responsive to the differing event by adjusting the current ICDO by exchanging one element of the treatment plan for a new element according to a learned set of rules to compensate for the differing event. This modified treatment schedule is provided to the patient in real time.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anita Govindjee, Kai Liu, Su Liu, Manjunath Ravi

Patent number: 11283736Abstract: Utilizing a computing device executing a master chatbot and one or more modular chatbots to respond to one or more chat messages. A computing device executing the master chatbot receives one or more chat messages. The computing device parses the received one or more chat messages to discover an intent and entities contained within the chat messages. A ranking algorithm is employed to rank the master chatbot and a plurality of modular chatbots, the ranking algorithm scoring the master chatbot and the plurality of modular chatbots based upon the intent and entities contained within the one or more chat messages. The master chatbot responds to the chat message if the ranking algorithm rates the master chatbot highest or forwards automatically the one or more chat messages to a ranked modular chatbot for response if the ranking algorithm rates the ranked modular chatbot highest.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ryan Anderson, Anita Govindjee, Joseph Kozhaya, Javier Torres
