  • Publication number: 20250238926
    Abstract: A fully autonomous system is used to subclassify a disease in a patient. For example, a tool receives one or more images of a body part of a patient, inputs the one or more images into a diagnostic model, and receives, as output from the diagnostic model, a diagnosis for the patient. The tool determines whether the diagnosis is positive for a given disease, and, responsive to determining that the diagnosis is positive, inputs a representation of the one or more images into a diagnosis subclassification model. The tool determines, based on output from the diagnosis subclassification model, a subclassification for the diagnosis, and outputs a control signal based on the subclassification.

  • Publication number: 20240293045
    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.
