  • Automated analysis of data collected by in-vivo devices
    Patent number: 8688467
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operably coupling medical device(s) together with an evaluation device such that closed-loop processing may occur are provided. To achieve closed-loop processing, the evaluation device is configured to receive diagnostic information related to physiological attributes of a patient and operational-status information of the medical device(s). Upon receipt of this information, the evaluation device may automatically analyze the data and automatically compose instructions based on the analysis. Analyzing includes comparing the data against content within an electronic medical record (EMR) or applying rules to the data. The rules are built on evidence-based medical procedures consistent with current medical practice.

  • Computerized methods and systems for user-centric selection of menu items
    Patent number: 8190447
    Abstract: Methods for use in, e.g., in-patient care computing environment, for user-centric (e.g., in-patient-centric) selection of at least one menu item are provided. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention may include receiving a plurality of menu item identifiers, each menu item identifier being associated with a different menu item, associating the menu item identifiers with an electronic record associated with an in-patient, displaying the menu item identifiers on at least one patient-viewable display device, and receiving a user selection of at least one of the menu item identifiers. If desired, the method may additionally include filtering the menu item identifiers based on at least one criterion derived from the electronic record to create a set of filtered menu item identifiers and displaying the set of filtered menu item identifiers on the patient-viewable display device rather than the plurality of menu item identifier.
