  • Publication number: 20170286632
    Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for providing medication-related feedback. Aspects include receiving medication information for a patient. Aspects also include receiving a biological, behavioral, or environmental output from a sensor. Aspects also include determining, based upon the biological, behavioral, or environmental output and the medication information for the patient, whether a medication dose is needed. Aspects also include, based on a determination that the medication dose is needed, generating an alert.

  • Publication number: 20170286633
    Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for proximity feedback for medication identification. Aspects include accessing, via a user device, a profile data for the user; reading, via the user device, identification data from an identification tag on an object; obtaining information associated with the identification data, wherein the information is associated with contents of the object; and providing a feedback to the user via the user device, the feedback is based upon the information and an interaction between the user of the user device and the object.

  • Patent number: 9727596
    Abstract: A method for generating a scalable visualization of a hierarchical data structure is provided. The method may include mapping at least one component within a plurality of components to the hierarchical data structure. The method may also include mapping at least one sub-component within a plurality of sub-components to the at least one mapped component. The method may further include mapping at least one variant within a plurality of variants to the hierarchical data structure as an accordion user interface widget. Additionally, the method may include mapping at least one variant component within a plurality of variant components to the at least one mapped variant as an accordion user interface widget. The method may also include mapping at least one variant sub-component within a plurality of variant sub-components to the at least one mapped variant component as an accordion user interface widget.

  • Publication number: 20170199944
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method is described to provide a visualization tool which portrays the certain equivalent for one or more hypothetical (i.e. synthetic) or real probability distributions p(m), and optionally allows the user to manipulate that representation , resulting in associated changes to the underlying utility function u(m). In a first example, the risk preference visualization tool allows one to explore how the certain equivalent depends upon the probability distribution p(m), for a fixed utility function u(m). In a second example, the risk preference visualization tool allows one to explore how the certain equivalent depends upon the utility function u(m), assuming one or more fixed probability distributions pi(m), p2 (m), etc. In a third example, the decision maker can provide feedback through the visualization tool that would cause their utility function to be modified.

  • Publication number: 20170076000
    Abstract: Methods and systems for matching users include measuring a biometric state of a first user. The biometric state of the first user is matched to a set of biometric states of respective other users. The set of biometric states is limited in accordance with user preferences including how recently each biometric state was measured. A real-time connection is formed with a second user from the limited set of biometric states having a best match.

  • Patent number: 9469476
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product dynamically configures a delivery system for delivering products to smart mats. A delivery coordination server determines a location of multiple smart mats. Each of the smart mats includes a positioning system and a transmitter that transmits a message describing the real-time geophysical location of the smart mats. The delivery coordination server receives a message describing a location of a first delivery vehicle that is transporting a first package addressed for delivery to a first smart mat. The delivery coordination server determines that the first smart mat has moved to a location that is within a predetermined distance of a second smart mat, to which a second delivery vehicle is scheduled to deliver a second package. The delivery coordination server directs the first delivery vehicle to transfer the first package to the second delivery vehicle for delivery to the first smart mat.

  • Publication number: 20160291588
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a system for implementing a restricted-operation region. The system includes an instruction development module configured to be utilized in the development of a set of instructions that implement an operation policy of the restricted-operation region. The set of instructions is configured to, when interpreted, implement the operation policy by controlling at least one function of a vehicle that attempts to operate within the restricted-operation region. The system further includes a first transmitter configured to transmit the set of instructions to the vehicle, wherein a processor of the vehicle is configured to interpret the set of instructions based at least in part on a determination that the vehicle is attempting to operate within the restricted-operation region.
