  • Patent number: 12249424
    Abstract: A decision support method and system is provided for monitoring and treating pediatric obesity. Embodiments include generating obesity risk curves corresponding to obesity risk levels, for example, severe and morbid obesity risk levels. Generating obesity risk curves depends on predicting at least one health proxy such as, for example, spend data and chronic conditions. Generating severe obesity curves depends on an age-dependent multiplier. An obesity risk level is assigned to a target pediatric patient using the obesity risk curves dependent on the age-dependent multiplier. In some aspects, an intervening response is initiated based on the assigned obesity risk level.

  • Patent number: 12176093
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for managing health status of persons with a chronic condition including providing dynamic, adaptive monitoring, detection, and prediction of suicide risk to a person at risk for suicide related to mental health. In an embodiment, a patient-assessment application is used to obtain information periodically on a patient's mental health status. Based on this information, a logistic regression model is employed to determine a patient's probability of attempting suicide. The probability is evaluated against a default threshold to determine if the patient's status has changed significantly, and if the threshold is exceeded, an action is evoked. In one embodiment, the action includes providing notice to the patient's care provider, caregiver, or case manager.

  • Patent number: 11776690
    Abstract: A decision support tool is provided for predicting uterine contractions. The predicted contractions are determined from measurements of uterine activity (UA). The contraction forecast may be made using a plurality of trained predictive models. The forecasts are formed with linear regressive models based, at least in part, on UA data from a reference population. The predicted contractions may be predictions of contraction duration, contraction peak, and time between contractions. In this way, these predicted contractions may be used for decision support for care plans during labor, such as increased monitoring and/or modifying the care plan.

  • Patent number: 11717234
    Abstract: A decision support tool is provided for predicting the neonatal vitality scores of a fetus during delivery, the scores being an indicator of future health for the infant anticipated to be born within a future time interval, measured as time to birth. The predicted neonatal vitality score is determined from measurements of physiological variables monitored during labor, such as uterine activity and fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate variability and patterns may be detected and computed using the monitored physiological variables, and neonatal vitality scores may be predicted based, at least in part, on the variability metrics and fetal heart rate patterns. Scores may be predicted for different delivery methods, such as vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery, for different time-to-birth intervals. In this way, these scores may be used for decision support for care plans during labor, such as increased monitoring and/or modifying the delivery type.

  • Patent number: 11600380
    Abstract: A decision support tool is provided for predicting a patient's length of stay within a healthcare unit, such as the emergency department. The predicted length of stay may be determined using patient information and facility information, which includes information about the department and the facility in which the department is located. The patient information and the facility information may be used to determine feature values input into a plurality of machine learning models. The models may be used sequentially such that initial models are used to predict variables relating to the patient's length of stay and output of such models is used with a length-of-stay model to determine the predicted length of stay. One or more response actions may be automatically initiated based on the predicted length of stay. Such response actions may include resource management actions to allocate resources within the healthcare unit.

  • Patent number: 11379931
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for predicting probability of a clinical invoice being paid by a specified date. A clinical invoice is a request for payment. The clinical invoice can take the form of an insurance claim, bill to a person (e.g., self-insured, co-pay), or submission to a government entity (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid). Healthcare facilities do not know how long they will have to wait between submitting an invoice and receiving compensation from government, insurance, or other payers. The methods described herein can be used to estimate the probability of payment occurring by a specified date. This information can be used to triage outstanding claims for investigation and to improve outstanding cash forecasts. The technology described herein uses survival curves to estimate when an invoice will be paid.

  • Patent number: 11266355
    Abstract: Methods and systems for predicting deterioration of a patient's condition within a future time interval based on a time series of values for monitored physiological variables measured from a patient, and in some instances, providing advanced notice to clinicians or caregivers when deterioration is forecasted or modifying treatment for the patient are provided. In particular, deterioration of a patient's condition is based on a Hopf bifurcation model and is predicted using a ratio of deviations for monitored physiological variables. A ratio of deviations relates the standard deviation and root mean square of successive differences for a set of physiological values measured over time. The RoD for one or more variables, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, may be used to predict the likelihood of the patient's condition deteriorating into an unstable state as what occurs in a Hopf bifurcation.
