Publication number: 20250120642Abstract: The present disclosure facilitates the evaluation of wide-band phase gradient information of the heart tissue to assess, e.g., the presence of heart ischemic heart disease. Notably, the present disclosure provides an improved and efficient method to identify and risk stratify coronary stenosis of the heart using a high resolution and wide-band cardiac gradient obtained from the patient. The patient data are derived from the cardiac gradient waveforms across one or more leads, in some embodiments, resulting in high-dimensional data and long cardiac gradient records that exhibit complex nonlinear variability. Space-time analysis, via numeric wavelet operators, is used to study the morphology of the cardiac gradient data as a phase space dataset by extracting dynamical and geometrical properties from the phase space dataset.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Sunny Gupta, Shyamlal Ramchandani, Timothy William Fawcett Burton, William Sanders, Ian Shadforth

Publication number: 20230054371Abstract: A system is provided that receives a signal file that includes multiple biophysical signals obtained from a patient by a signal capture or recorder device. The biophysical signals are measured from one or more sensors or probes of the signal capture device.

Publication number: 20220093215Abstract: A facility for identifying combinations of feature and machine learning algorithm parameters, where each combination can be combined with one or more machine learning algorithms to train a model, is disclosed. The facility evaluates each genome based on the ability of a model trained using that genome and a machine learning algorithm to produce accurate results when applied to a validation data set by, for example, generating a fitness or validation score for the trained model and the corresponding genome used to train the model. Genomes that produce fitness scores that exceed a fitness threshold are selected for mutation, mutated, and the process is repeated. These trained models can then be applied to new data to generate predictions for the underlying subject matter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Paul Grouchy, Timothy Burton, Ali Khosousi, Abhinav Doomra, Sunny Gupta, Ian Shadforth
