  • Patent number: 11386986
    Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying complex patients and forecasting patient outcomes based on a variety of factors including medical, socio-economic, mental and behavioral. According to an embodiment, a method can include employing one or more machine learning models to identify complex patients and predict patient outcomes like length of stay, potential discharge trajectories with likelihoods, discharge destinations, readmission likelihood and safety. These models are applied to respective patients that are currently admitted to a hospital and expected to be placed after discharge from the hospital, wherein the one or more discharge forecasting machine learning models predict the discharge destinations based on clinical data points and non-clinical data points collected for the respective patients.

  • Patent number: 9861514
    Abstract: As apparatus for storing and dispensing condoms is provided. The apparatus comprises a body includes a base for receiving a stack of condom wrappers, and an opening for accessing a condom wrapper, the opening including a guide for adjacent a side of the opening. The apparatus also includes a cutting assembly having a blade configurable in an extended position for cutting an edge of the condom wrapper as the condom wrapper is pulled through the opening. The guide configured to deform and/or displace a condom within the condom wrapper laterally away from the blade so that the blade does not cut the condom as the condom wrapper is pulled through the opening, wherein the guide has a gap with a gap height less than a thickness of a rolled condom and wherein at least a portion of the gap is closer to a center of the opening than the blade.

  • Publication number: 20170135628
    Abstract: A smart condom comprises a sheath comprising a body (1), an open end (2), a close end (3) and a sensing element (4). A method for making a smart condom comprises mounting a sensing element (4) to a condom before the condom is molded, or during the molding of a condom, or after a condom has been molded, so as to form the smart condom. A system for collecting and analyzing user physical characteristic data and/or user movement data comprises an intelligent terminal and a smart condom having sensing function. With the smart condom and the intelligent terminal of the system, user(s) will be able to directly and accurately get the physical characteristic data and/or movement data in real time, adjust the body condition and control the pace during the sexual intercourse.
