  • Publication number: 20140095184
    Abstract: Systems and methods for individual risk factor identification include identifying common risk factors for one or more risk targets from population data. Individuals are stratified into clusters based upon the common risk factors. A discriminability of each of the common risk factors is determined, using a processor, for a target cluster using individual data of the target cluster to provide re-ranked common risk factors as individual risk factors for the target cluster, such that the discriminability is a measure of how a risk factor discriminates its cluster from other clusters.

  • Publication number: 20130013340
    Abstract: Techniques for providing one or more user-centric wellness decision support services are provided. The techniques include providing an interface that facilitates selection of a risk assessment model of interest for a user and an action plan to trigger one or more follow-up action items, applying the selected model to assess the user's wellness risk level based on one or more user wellness records, and applying the selected action plan to trigger one or more relevant disease management and lifestyle interventions.

  • Patent number: 8332379
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying nodes with similar content. In one aspect, the method comprises determining a structure of a network of nodes, said structure defined by incoming links and outgoing links between nodes within said network, grouping said nodes within said network into a first set of modules, calculating a first modularity value between each of the modules within the first set, said modularity value indicating a degree of similar content within each module, calculating a topical relevance value for each of the modules, selecting those modules whose topical relevance value exceeds a threshold value and calculating an authority score for the selected modules.
