Abstract: A method and system for detecting sleep apnea in patients using an electronic healthcare record (EHR) system. An API configured to communicate with the EHR system is installed and relevant data inputs for predicting sleep apnea determined. An initial risk assessment for sleep apnea is automatically performed for a patient based on their health history is performed when the patient is seen by a healthcare provider. A visual prompt is displayed to the healthcare provider if the patient is at an elevated risk for sleep apnea. The visual prompt may include a listing of additional tests needed, a numerical risk level, or allow the healthcare provider to schedule sleep apnea related appointments. The method may also involve calculating a patient risk level, providing feedback to improve the accuracy of the risk assessment, determining co-factors, and incorporating cost-benefit analysis in the risk assessment.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes two or more displays and a BIOS. On startup, before the premem state and MRC initialization of the boot process, the BIOS causes power to be enabled to two or more displays. A display engine determines if a hot plug for each display is asserted and for each display where the hot plug was not asserted, the path to the display where the hot plug was not asserted is closed. In an example, the BIOS communicates the signal to power enable the first display and the second display after general-purpose input/output initialization during the boot process. After the premem stage and MRC initialization are completed, the first display and the second display are both configured to begin to display pixels.
