  • Patent number: 11839479
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying onset of a cardiac event. Embodiments receive biometric data measured by at least one remote monitoring device, the biometric data comprising an electrocardiogram (ECG) data relating to a patient. It is determined that the ECG data includes a plurality of critical rhythms, and one of the plurality of critical rhythms is identified as an onset event. The ECG data is modified, based on the identified onset event. The modified ECG data facilitates treatment of the patient related to the identified onset event.

  • Publication number: 20220336106
    Abstract: A method includes assigning a first instance of a cardiac event that occurred in a patient during a period of time to a first bucket of a first plurality of buckets based on a first measured heart rate of the patient during the first instance. A first heart rate threshold of the first bucket is less than the first measured heart rate. The method also includes determining whether the first heart rate threshold exceeds heart rate thresholds of all buckets of the plurality of buckets to which an instance of the cardiac event that occurred in the patient during the period of time is assigned, determining whether a number of instances of the cardiac event that occurred in the patient during the period of time exceeds an event threshold, and preventing the first instance of the cardiac event from being communicated for clinical review.

  • Publication number: 20220330838
    Abstract: A method includes retrieving a plurality of indications of cardiac events in a patient, heart rates of the patient during the cardiac events, and durations of the cardiac events. The method also includes selecting a subset of indications from the plurality of indications based on the heart rates of the patient during the cardiac events and the durations of the cardiac events and sorting the subset of indications based on heart rates of the patient during the cardiac event indicated by the subset of indications and based on durations of the cardiac events indicated by the subset of indications to produce a sorted list of indications. The method further includes communicating, from the sorted list, an indication that is first in the sorted list for clinical review.

  • Patent number: 9282898
    Abstract: A method of delivery of medical data via a trusted end-to-end communication link. The method comprises obtaining a measurement of a parameter of a human being by a first sensor, obtaining a biometric from the human being by a second sensor, receiving input from the first and second sensors by a secure application executing in a trusted security zone of a processor, whereby access to the input from the first and second sensors by applications executing in a normal partition of the processor is blocked, wherein the input from the first and second sensors comprises the measurement of the parameter and the biometric, and transmitting a message based on the input from the first and second sensors via a trusted end-to-end communication link to a medical data server, wherein an application that receives the message executes in a trusted security zone of the server.

  • Patent number: 8996452
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating an ensemble model from multiple data sources. In one embodiment, the ensemble model is generated using a global validation sample, a global holdout sample and base models generated from the multiple data sources. An accuracy value may be determined for each base model, on the basis of the global validation dataset. The ensemble model may be generated from a subset of the base models, where the subset is selected on the basis of the determined accuracy values.

  • Patent number: 8588132
    Abstract: Methods and media are provided for offering telecommunications features to wireless devices through the use of a wireless exchange unit. The wireless exchange unit serves as an access point onto a larger wireless telecommunications network through use of a high-speed internet connection. The wireless exchange unit includes an access point base transceiver station (BTS) and an integrated application server. The integrated application server includes a session proxy, a home application server, and a voice application server. The wireless devices can access features such as, among other things, reduced-digit dialing, call rollover, and alternate message notification. For connections between devices local to the wireless exchange unit, the larger telecommunications network resources need not be utilized, therefore reducing congestion and improving performance.
