  • Systems and methods for data structure storage and combination based on data structure content
    Patent number: 10990352
    Abstract: Generating a data structure based on time-series data stored within a data store comprises: generating a plurality of time frame nodes within a data structure having a member node associated with a particular member, each time frame node reflecting a particular period of time during which there are no changes to the content of drug nodes associated with the particular period of time. At least a portion of those drug nodes at least partially reflect merged data records reflecting the combined duration of a plurality of matching data records, wherein the duration of the merged data records are determined based at least in part on characteristic data stored within one or more of the identified matching data records. The time frame nodes of the data structure are generated based on determined changes in content of the drug nodes based on the merged data records.
