Patent number: 12763213Abstract: A computational evidence platform extracts clinical concepts from medical evidence sources and creates a knowledge graph of elemental factors, investigations and therapeutic interventions (drug and nondrug therapies) all linked to medical conditions. Condition-dependent properties are stored between medical condition nodes and these factor, investigation and therapeutic intervention nodes. The knowledge graph is queried using natural language from a user interface, API or AI agent with contextual patient data or without. A document indexer creates elemental nodes from a document and a document node and stores these in the knowledge graph. A patient state is determined by extracting factors, investigations and therapies from a patient chart. Next-best actions per condition are determined by identifying factors, investigations and therapies not yet performed. Next-best actions across conditions are determined by assuming that therapies not present are now present in a patient chart.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2025Date of Patent: October 13, 2026Assignee: Evidium, Inc.Inventors: Arnav Saxena, Wian Stipp, Matthew Mcsorley, Fady Nakhla, Sean Thomas, Carl Bate

Publication number: 20260279599Abstract: A computational platform includes a clinical knowledge graph having medical condition nodes to which are linked factor nodes and investigation nodes. Medical guideline nodes linked to a medical condition represent a computational guideline. Observation nodes and laboratory test nodes within the guideline link to factor nodes or investigation nodes. Therapy ingredient nodes represent drugs with a guideline. A patient is diagnosed or treated by traversing the guideline nodes associated with a particular condition. Probabilities annotated upon edges facilitate predicting a future patient state. Use cases include queries from a clinician, an insurance claims database, or an LLM, generation of FHIR value sets, and generation of executable CQL for a medical guideline. The knowledge graph receives a medical query, executes it and outputs a result. A medical condition ontology with factors and investigations connects to an ontology representing a computational medical guideline.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2026Publication date: September 17, 2026Inventors: Arnav SAXENA, Wian STIPP, Matthew MCSORLEY, Fady NAKHLA, Jennifer May LEE, Ashwini MATHAI, Sean THOMAS, Carl BATE
