  • Publication number: 20240029892
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for identifying a disease status in a patient from claims data. A machine learning algorithm may be trained to report that a given patient is possibly affected by a disease, and the machine learning algorithm may be able to do so long before disease symptoms manifest to a problematic degree. The machine learning algorithm may be able to give an early warning that a patient is at a high risk of disease based principally on inputs provided in the form of insurance claims data.

  • Patent number: 10806127
    Abstract: A pet toy, in combination, including a containment structure having a longitudinal axis and cross section defining an interior volume. The containment structure, which is preferably collapsible, includes a plurality of containment openings along its longitudinal axis exposing the interior volume to a pet during use of the pet toy, and an electronic component in the form of a hollow shell having a shell opening configured therein. A motor having a rotatable shaft extends toward the opening. A power supply for powering the motor and optional microprocessor, the motor, microprocessor and power supply being supported within the interior of the hollow shell. An attractant is affixed to the rotatable shaft and extends through the shell opening, the microprocessor being programmed to control operation of the motor to cause the attractant to rotate intermittently, the electronic component and attractant being visible to a pet during use of the pet toy.
