Abstract: A system and method for reducing the number of electrodes needed to operate a touch sensor by arrangement of drive and sense electrodes on a single layer touch sensor, the electrodes being arranged such that drive signals that are sent to the electrodes are sent in a non-uniform pattern that enables selected regions of the touch sensor to generate a useful drive signal while the remaining regions do not. The arrangement of the drive and sense electrodes is such that the routing of signals to and from the electrodes may not interfere with operation of the touch sensor.

Abstract: In general, systems and techniques for managing and updating medical information are described. In one example, a computer-implemented method for managing medical information is described. The method includes receiving current diagnostic information that includes one or more current individual diagnoses for a patient, comparing the current diagnostic information to prior diagnostic information that includes one or more prior individual diagnoses for the patient, determining one or more possible errors in the current diagnostic information based on the comparison, and generating an alert associated with each possible error of the one or more possible errors.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a method for analyzing medical documentation. One or more computing devices store a plurality of medical records and coded administrative data. The one or more computing devices compare information contained in the plurality of medical records with information contained in coded administrative data. The one or more computing devices identify one or more risks based on the comparison of the information contained in the plurality of medical records with the information contained in the coded administrative data. The one or more computing devices output information associated with the one or more risks in the medical documentation.

Abstract: Techniques described herein provide methods for analyzing quality of care, site of service guidelines, patient condition lists, coordination of care, and patient discharge summaries. In one example of these techniques, with respect to patient condition lists, the disclosure is directed to a method for analyzing medical documentation. One or more computing devices store a plurality of medical records for a single patient. The one or more computing devices analyze information contained in the plurality of medical records. The one or more computing devices identify a list of chronic conditions for the patient and a list of one-time medical conditions for the patient based on a number of instances the patient has sought medical attention for the given conditions. The one or more computing devices output the list of chronic conditions for the patient and the list of one-time medical conditions for the patient.

Abstract: A system for reducing the number of layers of a touchpad between sensor electrodes that form a touch sensor, and the all other components of a touchpad, wherein the other components are comprised of a ground plane and sensor circuitry of a capacitance sensitive touchpad, and wherein the number of layers required for all the various components of the touchpad are reduced to thereby lower manufacturing costs of the touchpad.

Abstract: A new layout for X, Y and Sense electrodes that enables a touchpad to be constructed using fewer layers while increasing visual clarity, transmissivity, sensitivity and linearity, wherein the electrodes are disposed in a pattern that uses spiral shapes that do not require electrodes to cross over any other electrodes.
