  • Patent number: 12369793
    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: 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: 20250173851
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for qualifying medical images submitted by user for diagnostic analysis comprising: an image input module, configured to receive one or more image input by a user; an image protocol conformation module, configured to receive the one or more images from the image input module, and further configured to analyze each of the one or more images for conformity with a predefined protocol and wherein images that do not conform to the predefined protocol are flagged as non-conforming images; an image output module, configured to identify to the user each of the one or more images flagged as non-conforming and prompting the user to resubmit a new image for each of the non-conforming images; and an image resubmission module, configured to receive the user resubmitted image and provide the resubmitted image to the image protocol conformation module.

  • Publication number: 20240347159
    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.

  • 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.
