  • Publication number: 20230290516
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method can receive, from a mobile computing device, a measurement-based care (MBC) assessment request from a patient. The method can asynchronously assess, using the application server, a plurality of MBC assessment data from the patient, wherein the plurality of MBC assessment data comprises passively collected data values, assessments, programmed heuristics, programmed rules, and model thresholds. The method can asynchronously generate, using a machine learning model and the application server, a plurality of vital sign values for the patient using the plurality of MBC assessment data from the patient. The method can asynchronously determine, using a machine learning model and the application server, stratification group data for the patient using the plurality of MBC assessment data from the patient. The method can send, to the mobile computing device, instructions for presenting a user interface comprising the stratification group data for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20120247958
    Abstract: The present teachings describe gel processing systems comprising at least an electrophoresis device and a computer system operably linked to perform electrophoresis. Systems of the disclosure may also comprise gel imaging systems, image capture systems, gel illumination systems and/or gel/image analysis systems. A computer system of the disclosure may comprise software components including graphical user interface (GUI) specifications and functional specifications. The disclosure also describes methods for gel processing performed on a gel processing system. Methods of the disclosure may comprise performing electrophoresis and in some embodiments, one or more additional steps, such as imaging, analysis, report generation and transfer of data to external sources. Methods and workflows of the disclosure may be user controlled and customized by using the GUI and other software and hardware functional components of the computer system.

  • Patent number: 5938679
    Abstract: A blood sampling device for penetrating skin to obtain a blood sample is disclosed. The blood sampling device has a blade structure that can be extended from a housing to pierce the skin and then retracted. The blade structure has at least two blades each including a cutting edge. The blades abut one another to form a rigid joint from which the blades extend. The blades each have a distal portion in which the distance from the rigid joint to the cutting edge decreases towards and terminates at a sharp point at a distal end. Each blade generally forms an angle less than 180 degrees with at least one neighboring blade. This structure decreases the tendency of the blade structure to flex as the distal end of the blade structure penetrates the skin to yield blood.
