  • Publication number: 20250087341
    Abstract: A system and methods for multimodal patient management in a healthcare facility are disclosed. The method can include determining that a patient is within a threshold distance of a healthcare facility based on geolocation data for a wearable device associated with the patient, automatically checking-in the patient for an appointment; transmitting, to the wearable device, a notification indicating: i) that the patient ready to be seen the healthcare provider for the scheduled appointment, and ii) a target area in the healthcare facility to which the patient is to navigate for the scheduled appointment; continuously tracking a position of the patient within the healthcare facility using the wearable device, in part to determine when the patient has exited the healthcare facility; and updating a status of the patient in a digital patient tracker based on the tracked position of the patient within the healthcare facility.

  • Publication number: 20240428232
    Abstract: A system and related methods for a digital wallet are disclosed. The method includes: establishing a connection between external fund sources and a digital wallet account to facilitate electronic fund transfers, the external funding sources including an external fund source that is directly associated with a primary owner of the digital wallet account and an external fund source that is associated with an entity other than the primary owner; obtaining a set of rules that dictate how funds are disbursed from the external fund sources funds, including a rule defined by the primary owner of the digital wallet system and a rule defined by each of the plurality of external fund sources; receiving a first electronic payment request; identifying an external fund source or sources by evaluating the first electronic payment request with respect to the first set of rules; and disbursing funds to satisfy the first electronic payment request.

  • Publication number: 20240331835
    Abstract: A system and methods for automated permissioning of medical procedures or tests, and optional health care claim generation, are disclosed. The method includes obtaining an electronic medical record for a patient, determining a clinical appropriateness of the medical procedure or test from the electronic medical record, generating a preapproval decision for the medical procedure or test, presenting the preapproval decision to the health care provider, generating a summary of how the clinical appropriateness score was determined, and transmitting the summary of the evaluation to a remote computing device.

  • Publication number: 20240161889
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a virtual health wallet are provided. The wallet is created for a patient by an SSI service and is associated with a DID that is associated to the patient along with a public and private key pair. The DID of the patient is stored on a distributed ledger. The wallet is stored on a cloud-based endpoint. When a record is created for a patient by a provider, the record is stored in the wallet at the endpoint, and a DID of the record is stored in the ledger along with an address of the endpoint. Later the user may share the DID of the record with a requestor. The requestor retrieves the address of the endpoint from the ledger using the DID and requests access to the record from the wallet. The wallet verifies that the requestor has permission and provides access to the record.

  • Publication number: 20240144379
    Abstract: In an embodiment, systems and methods storing claims on a DSP and a cryptographic ledger are provided. When a provider generates a claim for a medical service, the claim is encrypted using key exchanged between the provider and the payor. The encrypted claim is stored at the DSP at a DSP provided address. The encrypted claim and DSP provided address are stored on a cryptographic ledger as an NFT or other data structure. The payor may retrieve the DSP provided address from the ledger and may retrieve the encrypted claim from the DSP. The payor may decrypt the claim and may facilitate payment for the claim via a smart contract or may otherwise dispute the claim. At a later time, the provider (or payor) can use a zero-knowledge proof to prove that the claim was provided (or paid).

  • Publication number: 20240104663
    Abstract: A contract provider provides a distributed ledger that has a node for each payor, provider, and the contract provider. Each entity controls its own node and has access to private and public keys associated with their node. When a provider desires to create a contract with a provider, the provider uses an application provided by the contract provider. The application has access to various contract related templates, forms and workflows associated with the contracts. The application includes an iframe that connects to the node of the provider. The provider may create a draft contract using the application that is stored on the distributed ledger by the nodes of the provider via the iframe. The payor may then similarly use the application to access the contract via the iframe by contacting to their node. The provider and payor may continue to edit the contract via the application until it is complete.
