  • Publication number: 20230046367
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for building a dynamic dictionary and using the dictionary to remove phrases or words appearing in and out of context in a document. The techniques include, for example, receiving electronic health record (EHR) data, determining, using natural language processing (NLP), an instance of a personal health information (PHI) phrase in the EHR data based on a NLP system confidence metric being above a threshold, determining another instance of the PHI phrase in the EHR data that does not have the same context as the first context, removing the instances of the PHI phrase from the EHR data to produce cleaned EHR data, and taking an action based on the cleaned EHR data. The confidence metric can indicate likelihood that the PHI phrase is a PHI phrase and the metric can be based at least in part on a first context of the PHI phrase.

  • Patent number: 11515041
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for interactive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that users (e.g., medical professionals) can use to interact with modelled versions of brains and easily and intuitively analyze deep and/or lateral structures in the brain. A user can, for example, selectively view structures and their connectivity data (e.g., nodes and edges) relative to other structures and connectivity data over a representation of a particular patient's brain. Emphasis can be minimized for certain foreground nodes and edges (e.g., lateral structures) to make it easier for the user to focus on and analyze deeper structures that otherwise can be challenging to visualize and understand. A method can include overlaying deep and non-deep nodes on a representation of a brain, displaying the representation of the brain in a GUI, receiving user input indicating interest in focusing on one or more deep nodes, and taking an action based on the input.

  • Patent number: 11399757
    Abstract: fMRI data of a subject brain is accessed and may include a plurality of time-sequenced volumetric images of activity in a subject brain. A plurality of emotion vectors are accessed, each emotion vector tagged with a specified emotional state. From the fMRI data and using the emotion vectors, a plurality of fMRI state vectors are determined at various points in time, where each fMRI state vector is a combination of the emotion vectors and represents the state of the subject brain at a particular point in time. Flow data is determined to identify a trajectory, over time, of the subject brain as reflected by the fMRI data, through a state space defined by the emotion vectors, where the flow data is based at least in part on the fMRI vectors at various points in time. From the flow data, data is generated that shows changes, through time, in at least one emotional state of the brain.
