  • Publication number: 20240112130
    Abstract: A process of drug shortage prediction includes defining a classifier and loading a listing of drug shortage events at different times in association with different drugs. Over different periods of time, transactions between nodes of the pharmaceutical supply chain are read on a data bus of a digital supply network computing platform, each indicating a receipt of a particular drug by a particular dispensary. Drug shortage events are then correlated with ones of the transactions at a specified duration of time preceding the drug shortage events. Consequently, the classifier can be trained with the correlated transactions annotated as giving rise to the drug shortage events. Finally, the classifier receives queries with newly observed transactions on the data bus and, in response, a likelihood is determined that a drug shortage event for a specific one of the drugs will occur at the specified duration of time following the newly observed transactions.

  • Publication number: 20170193837
    Abstract: A method/apparatus/system for generating a recommendation based on user interactions with nodes and associated tasks within a prerequisite graph. The recommendation is generated by identifying the user's current position within the prerequisite graph and identifying potential next nodes to which the user could move. Based on the user's past interactions with nodes and/or tasks within the prerequisite graph, the user's likelihood of successfully completing the potential next node is calculated, and a recommendation is made based on this calculated likelihood of the user successfully completing the potential next node.

  • Publication number: 20110177958
    Abstract: The invention is directed to materials and methods associated with polymorphic variants in two enzymes involved in folate-dependent and one-carbon metabolic pathways: MTHFD1 (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase) and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+ dependent) 1-like (MTHFD1L). Diagnostic and therapeutic methods are provided involving the correlation of polymorphic variants in MTHFD1, MTHFD1, and other genes with relative susceptibility for various pregnancy-related and other complications.
