  • Publication number: 20230389827
    Abstract: A fully autonomous system is used to diagnose an ear infection in a patient. For example, a processor receives patient data about a patient, the patient data comprising at least one of: patient history from medical records for the patient, one or more vitals measurements of the patient, and answers from the patient about the patient's condition. The processor receives a set of biomarker features extracted from measurement data taken from an ear of the patient. The processor synthesizes the patient data and the biomarker features into input data, and applies the synthesized input data to a trained diagnostic model, the diagnostic model comprising a machine learning model configured to output a probability-based diagnosis of an ear infection from the synthesized input data. The processor outputs the determined diagnosis from the diagnostic model. A service may then determine a therapy for the patient based on the determined diagnosis.

  • Patent number: 11790523
    Abstract: A device receives an input image of a portion of a patient's body, and applies the input image to a feature extraction model, the feature extraction model comprising a trained machine learning model that is configured to generate an output that comprises, for each respective location of a plurality of locations in the input image, an indication that the input image contains an object of interest that is indicative of a presence of a disease state at the respective location. The device applies the output of the feature extraction model to a diagnostic model, the diagnostic model comprising a trained machine learning model that is configured to output a diagnosis of a disease condition in the patient based on the output of the feature extraction model. The device outputs the determined diagnosis of a disease condition in the patient obtained from the diagnostic model.

  • Publication number: 20230255478
    Abstract: The methods and systems provided can automatically determine an Arteriolar-to-Venular diameter Ratio, AVR, in blood vessels, such as retinal blood vessels and other blood vessels in vertebrates. The AVR is an important predictor of increases in the risk for stroke, cerebral atrophy, cognitive decline, and myocardial infarct.

  • Publication number: 20230190182
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for diagnosing a dental condition. The device captures image data representative of a tooth of a patient based on data obtained from a hardware device that scans the tooth. The device inputs the image data into a first supervised machine learning model, and receives, as output from the first supervised machine learning model, a plurality of biomarkers, each biomarker corresponding to a different location of the tooth. The device inputs the plurality of biomarkers into a second supervised machine learning model, and receives, as output from the second supervised machine learning model, a diagnosis of a dental condition.

  • Publication number: 20230178200
    Abstract: A device is disclosed herein that receives image data corresponding to an anatomy of a patient. The device applies the image data to one or more feature models trained using training data that pairs anatomical images to an anatomical feature label, and receives, as output from the one or more feature models, scores for each of a plurality of anatomical features corresponding to the image data. The device applies the scores as input to a treatment model, the treatment model trained to output a prediction of a measure of efficacy of a particular treatment based on features of the patient's anatomy. The device receives, as output from the treatment model, data representative of the predicted measure of efficacy of the particular treatment.
