  • Publication number: 20230316095
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, the present disclosure includes a method for generating a knowledge graph of clinical information for use as a reference model to semantically represent relevant information from clinical encounters. In certain embodiments, the method includes representing a clinical concern as a module of the knowledge graph. In some examples, the method includes associating at least one section node with the module, wherein each section node of the at least one section node corresponds to a clinical concept relevant to the clinical concern and associating at least one topic node with the at least one section node, wherein each topic node of the at least one topic node corresponds to a clinical topic relevant to the clinical concept. And, in certain embodiments the method includes outputting the knowledge graph of clinical information to semantically represent the relevant information from a clinical encounter associated with the clinical concern.

  • Publication number: 20230300591
    Abstract: An emergency event detection and response system detects an occurrence of an event associated with a user and initiates an emergency response flow. A user may be associated with a wearable device and have in his home a base station and portable or stationary wireless devices containing sensors capable of detecting an emergency event. The emergency event may be detected based on voice or non-voice audio input from the user, data monitoring by the wearable device, base station, and/or portable or stationary wireless device, or by physical button press. Responsive to determining that an emergency event has occurred, the system triggers an emergency response flow by notifying a call center and contacting one or more caregivers associated with the user. Caregivers may access a response system application to receive updates regarding the detected emergency and to contact the user and/or a provider associated with the call center.

  • Patent number: 10578036
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a single heat exchanger coupled to a main exhaust passage upstream of one or more exhaust catalysts or in between two exhaust catalysts for exhaust heat recovery and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooling. In one example, in the pre-catalyst configuration of the heat exchanger, during exhaust heat recovery, a portion of exhaust may be routed via the heat exchanger while the remaining portion of exhaust may be routed directly to the exhaust catalysts, and fueling may be adjusted on a per-cylinder basis to maintain a target exhaust air-fuel-ratio at the exhaust catalysts.
