  • Patent number: 11937932
    Abstract: An acute kidney injury predicting system and a method thereof are proposed. A processor reads the data to be tested, the detection data, the machine learning algorithm and the risk probability comparison table from a main memory. The processor trains the detection data according to the machine learning algorithm to generate an acute kidney injury prediction model, and inputs the data to be tested into the acute kidney injury prediction model to generate an acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability and a data sequence table. The data sequence table lists the data to be tested in sequence according to a proportion of each of the data to be tested in the acute kidney injury characteristics. The processor selects one of the medical treatment data from the risk probability comparison table according to the acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability.

  • Publication number: 20240096297
    Abstract: In some examples, a controller of a wearable device causes display by the wearable device of a test image, and adjusts a color property of the displayed test image. In response to an input provided by a user responsive to the displayed test image as the color property is adjusted, the controller determines a distribution of color wavelengths for an eye of the user, and detects a color vision deficiency of the user based on the determined distribution of color wavelengths. The controller provides control information to control a display device of the wearable device to compensate for the color vision deficiency.
