  • Patent number: 7991627
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of pre-delivery drug identification. The system and method is implemented where drugs are being administered, such as in a hospital or clinic, and identifies the drug being administered to the patient before the drug reaches the patient. The system and method may utilize a sensor used for other physiologic monitoring to identify the drug. After identification, the system and method is configured to cross-reference the identified drug with the patient's prescription and allergy information, and to prevent delivery to the patient, if necessary. The system and method also utilizes data collected from the patient with a physiological monitor or a ventilator sensor to further determine whether the drug is appropriate for the patient. The method and system may also include an override system for medical personnel. The method described may be carried out by a software application.

  • Publication number: 20110137845
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for real time processing for mediating Social Media posts to a Social Media Network wherein a Semantic Filter Algorithm is provided. The Semantic Filter Algorithm is an application of Shannon's Entropy algorithm that functions to assess comparative contextual relationships between linguistic signifiers in a multiple of databases. Social Media posts are received by the Social Media Network and are automatically directed to Semantic filtering in multi-passes through the Semantic Filter Algorithm. The posts are automatically processed and an output is generated. Responsive to the output the posts are automatically allocated according to category and prioritized. Metatags are attached to the posts to control further processing regarding the various categories.
