Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically generating genetic risk assessments including (1) receiving a data share, derived from an electronic health records system, that indicates that a patient has scheduled an appointment with a healthcare provider, (2) in response to identifying that the patient has scheduled an appointment with the healthcare provider, sending a digital family history request to the patient in preparation for the scheduled appointment, the digital family history request including a link to a third-party portal and a request to access and complete an electronic family history form using the third-party portal, (3) receiving, through the third-party portal, responses to the family history form that the patient submitted using the third-party portal, (4) generating a genetic risk assessment for the patient based on the responses received through the third-party portal, and (5) based on the genetic risk assessment of (4), generating a three-generation patient pedigree.

Abstract: An adaptive wakeup methodology may be implemented to allow an radio frequency identification (RFID) tag to stay synchronized with periodic radio frequency (RF) interrogator polling signal while at the same time optimizing power consumption. A receiver (or transceiver) component of a RFID tag may only be operated when an interrogator polling signal is expected, and in a manner that reduces the amount of time between when the receiver or transceiver is turned on and when the interrogator polling signal is received (i.e., the receive buffer time). At other times, the RFID tag may be placed in a low power consumption sleep state. The amount of time that the RFID tag spends in such a low power sleep state before waking and receiving the following interrogator polling signal may also be optionally adjusted, e.g., to fit characteristics of a given situation and/or to re-synchronize a given aRFID tag with first band transmissions from an aRFIDI.

Abstract: Systems and methods for data separation, which may be employed to receive and process RFID tag data in RF signal environments where multiple RFID tags are tracked, localized and/or employed to transmit information. The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented for data separation in a high density aRFID environment using RFID tags in combination with spatial and/or frequency separation.

Abstract: Communication between a multi-band RFID tag device that communicates on first and second bands with other devices may be enabled, using a bidirectional communication bridging device that converts first band signals of the RFID tag device to third band signals of another device, and vice-versa. Examples of third band-capable devices that may be bridged for communication with the first band of a RFID tag device include WiFi devices such as smart phone, notebook computer, WLAN router or any other type of WiFi enabled device. In one example, a tag interface control device may be provided in the form of a WiFi-enabled handheld unit that communicates with a multi-band RFID tag through a bridging device using NBFM radio frequency (RF) communications to retrieve or change stored data and/or change the tag operation. Such a WiFi-enabled handheld unit may be configured to be relatively small, portable, and/or battery or wireless-powered.

Abstract: Data from one or more sensors may be collected using a first band of a multi-band RFID tag device and then passed on to a remote receiver from the RFID tag device using a second RF band. This capability may be employed to allow a first band-equipped RFID tag to collect data from local sensors, and then to report that data over a second band link, allowing the RFID tag device to function as an intermediary bridge device or relay between the sensor/s and a remote receiver and/or tag interface device. Such a remote receiver may further be in communication with a remote network so that the RFID tag device acts to bridge local sensor data to a remote network, where it may be further processed aid/or accessed by one or more users. The RFID tag device may also be interactive in nature, meaning that the tag data storage and/or the tag's operation is reprogrammable in the operational environment.

Abstract: A RFID tag system may be configured as a tag having a first band (e.g., multiple channel-based NBFM frequency band) transceiver to allow field programmability of tag behavior and onboard tag data. The RFID tag system may be configured to collect data from one or more local sensors through the first band link and store data points of interest in tag onboard storage. The RFID tag system may be configured to work in conjunction with a remote interrogating unit, and a handheld device or other local interrogating unit may be additionally or alternatively provided to communicate with such aRFID tag. Data that is stored on the RFID tag may be retrieved or changed, and/or the operation of the tag may be modified.
