Abstract: A system for flexible account creation and approval includes a computing server and a communication platform server that operates independently of the computing server. The computing server is configured to receive an account creation request initiated through interfaces of the communication platform server or the computing server. The computing server facilitates approval of the requests, which can include sending request approvers the request for review at interfaces of the communication platform server or the computing server. By enabling account creation and approval through various servers that can access the same information to provide consistent experiences, the system offers users more flexibility in choosing one of the available servers.

Abstract: A cardiovascular analysis application receives patient echocardiograms as video segments and performs an analysis for cardiovascular health based on factors related to an ejection fraction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy based on the images in the video segment and spatiotemporal features extracted from the images through several heartbeat cycles on the video segments. The models are trained on a corpus of previous echocardiograms including labels indicative of the ejection fraction and physiological markers associated with HCM, such as the cardiac wall thickness and clarity. Based on a correspondence with the model, a result is rendered indicative of whether the patient video segment has an insufficient ejection fraction and whether a presence of HCM is exhibited.
