  • Patent number: 11721424
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a cloud-assisted rehabilitation system for assisting in the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, and a method for rehabilitating patients having musculoskeletal conditions. A rehabilitation portal can aggregate and de-identified musculoskeletal rehabilitation information that is gathered from various intelligent musculoskeletal rehabilitation apparatuses attached to a group of patients. The rehabilitation portal can facilitate crowd communication among the group of patients. A particular rehabilitation experience can be compared with other rehabilitation experiences and data from other patients. The rehabilitation portal can also facilitate crowd communication among a group of healthcare professionals so that the plurality of healthcare professionals can communicate with each other and compare information regarding different rehabilitation experiences based at least on the aggregated de-identified musculoskeletal rehabilitation information.

  • Publication number: 20200273125
    Abstract: The present application discloses methods and systems configured to help students navigate and understand the requirements and options for courses selection, academic programs, and transferring credits to or from another college or university. Presented are several innovative graphical methods with an automated cleaning back-end method and device designed to present in intuitive ways the requirements of and paths toward degree completion. In some embodiments, a program mapper webtool takes static course information and transforms it into an interactive online tool. The program mapper uses data that has been verified or cleaned by a data cleanup tool. The program mapper presents the verified data as pathways to guide students through a selected educational path. The program mapper may further include an authoring tool that allows authorized users to build school-specific program maps based on its own academic programs and requirements.

  • Patent number: 9424393
    Abstract: A method for accessing, processing, presenting, and/or storing electronic medical record (EMR) information on a touch-sensitive display includes reading EMR information, displaying at least a portion of the EMR information on a touch-sensitive sliding timeline, detecting finger swipe or similar gestures, and scrolling the sliding timeline so that a different portion of the EMR information is displayed chronologically on the touch-sensitive sliding timeline. The resolution of the timeline can be expanded or collapsed in response to pinch gestures. The timeline is divided into a columns, each column including icons representing medical related events. A second timeline having a different time resolution from the first timeline is used for navigating the medical related events. Different levels of detail regarding the medical related events can be viewed in different detail panes. An EMR access device and system are also disclosed, which are configured to access and present EMR information.
