  • Patent number: 11666328
    Abstract: A retraction mechanism allows the full distal retraction of the firing drive from various positions. The retraction mechanism has been developed for use with a hand held surgical apparatus. An embodiment of the retraction mechanism includes a drive member, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a firing drive. The drive mechanism is configured to be driven by a motor. The first pulley is configured to rotate when the motor drives the drive mechanism. The second pulley is movable relative to the first pulley between a proximal position and a distal position. The firing drive is movable relative to the first pulley between proximal and distal positions. In operation, the first pulley rotates in a first direction in response to a distal translation of the firing drive and wherein the firing drive moves proximally upon rotation of the first pulley in a second direction.

  • Patent number: 11574718
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for performing supervised outcome-driven persona-typing, including receiving a first data set having patient specific data, treatment data, and outcome data for each of a plurality of first patients. Once received, the plurality of first patients are grouped based on the first data set, and a persona for each of patient groups is generated. A second data set may then be received for a second patient including second patient specific data. A comparison is then carried out on the second data set to identify an existing persona, and then associate the second patient with the identified persona. Based on each of the above steps, a patient care plan is then created.

  • Patent number: 11475995
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a recommendation for drug treatment are described herein. For example, the method includes determining drug scores based upon network-based distances for one or more target drug nodes, modeling one or more outputs based upon input data, wherein the input data comprises at least a portion of the drug scores, selecting an algorithmic output from the one or more modeling outputs based upon at least one performance criteria, determining if the selected algorithmic output of the modeling satisfies a threshold, and if the selected algorithmic output satisfies the threshold, generating the recommendation for drug treatment. The system includes a processing device and computer readable medium including programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to perform the method as described herein.
