Patent number: 11188527Abstract: A term base can be used to index a raw term (e.g., a text string from an electronic health record) to generate a computational expression of the raw term. As part of doing so, portions of the raw term including personally identifying information can be removed and/or replaced with de-identified information. The computational expression of the raw term can be used to generate a version of the raw term that is devoid of the personally identifying information.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David W. Padgett, John P. Clark, Brian A. Carlsen, Jeffrey D. LaMarche, Jason B. Morley, Christian Schroeder, Mark E. Pennell, Zhe Li, Jorge F. Pozas Trevino, Kevin M. Lynch
