  • Publication number: 20240099640
    Abstract: A system for interpreting electrocardiograms receives a first electrocardiogram waveform, and identifies a feature in the first electrocardiogram waveform. The system retrieves one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms recorded at a point in time prior to the first electrocardiogram waveform. The system extracts the feature from the one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms, and generates one or more interpretive statements based on a comparison of the feature identified in the first electrocardiogram and the feature extracted from the one or more second electrocardiogram waveforms.

  • Publication number: 20220013232
    Abstract: A diagnostic exam review system is configured to assign queues of diagnostic exams for interpretation by medical professionals. The diagnostic exams are reviewed and recorded in patient files. Some of the exams are reviewed by a second medical professional to determine if the interpretations match. The medical professionals are scored based on whether their interpretations agree, indicating their skill in interpreting a particular type of diagnostic exam. The scores are used to rank medical professionals based on their level of skill.

  • Publication number: 20210059597
    Abstract: A sepsis monitoring system determines an initial sepsis risk assessment score, and automatically and continuously updates the sepsis risk assessment score using a sepsis risk assessment model that receives vital signs data, electronic medical records data, and admissions data to continuously update the sepsis risk assessment score. The system determines whether the patient is likely to develop sepsis based on the updated sepsis risk assessment score, and in response to determining that the patient is likely to develop sepsis, generates a notification to drive an early intervention by one or more caregivers.

  • Patent number: 8586956
    Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging an imprinted substrate on a printing press is provided. One method comprises sensing light reflected by the substrate using a contact image sensor to produce data representative of the imprinted substrate. The substrate has been imprinted with different colors at a plurality of printing units of the printing press. Each printing unit comprises a plate cylinder. The data representative of the imprinted substrate is output by the contact image sensor as analog voltage signals. The method further comprises receiving the analog voltage signals from the contact image sensor at a sensor interface circuit and converting the analog voltage signals to digital signals using an analog-to-digital converter of the sensor interface circuit. The method further comprises processing the digital signals using the sensor interface circuit to produce corrected digital signals and storing data based on the corrected digital signals in a memory.
