  • Patent number: 11587651
    Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing genomic services are provided. A request is received from a user. The request is applied to one or more from a group of a personalized data repository for the user and supporting knowledge bases, wherein the personalized data repository includes genetic test results, health/clinical information, and insurance coverage, and wherein the knowledge bases include information pertaining to genetic tests and clinical guidelines. Data from the applied request is integrated with results from service modules performing one or more from a group of content search, variation interpretation, and report generation to produce results for the request. The personalized data repository and supporting knowledge bases are updated based on the results of the request. Surveillance services are triggered based on one or more events.

  • Patent number: 11150934
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. A first computing device determines that data to be processed for a request is confined to a geographic region in which the data is stored and identifies a second computing device within the geographic region in which the data is stored, wherein the identified second computing device and the computing device are connected to a network. The computing device directs the identified second computing to process the data within the geographic region to which the data is confined, according to the request, by one or more processing nodes executing on the identified second computing device.

  • Patent number: 11074262
    Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media for classifying documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents may be pre-processed to render document sections visible to machine readers. Document subsets may be generated based on user-defined terms. The machine readable documents may be classified within the content repository into one of a group of categories, based-upon the number of times classification terms appear in a specific document section of the document. Documents may be ranked based upon the frequency of classification terms in the specific section. Documents may be associated with specific diseases such as cancer, genes, gene variants, and drugs or synonyms thereof by comparing relevant search terms to specific sections of the documents.

  • Patent number: 11068490
    Abstract: Computer-based methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing documents within a content repository or documents within the document subsets are provided. Documents within the content repository may be classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Documents are applied to a machine learning annotation and analysis module to automatically annotate the documents to indicate relationships between entities. A request is processed for the documents including one or more search terms, wherein the search terms pertain to one or more entities from a group of gene, gene variant, drug, cancer and a biomedical/clinical term. Documents satisfying the request are identified by comparing the one or more search terms to the annotations and specific sections of the documents, and determining a relevance of a document based on the comparison and a frequency of the one or more search terms in each of the specific sections. The identified documents are ranked according to custom techniques.

  • Patent number: 10977292
    Abstract: A computer system processes documents in a content repository. Each document of a plurality of documents is classified into one of a functional category and a clinical category. Each document is annotated using one or more corpora to generate document annotations. Documents satisfying one or more query terms are identified by comparing each query term to the document annotations. The identified documents are ranked based on a determined relevance. Guidelines are produced based on the ranking of the identified documents. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing documents in a content repository in substantially the same manner described above.
