  • Publication number: 20130073306
    Abstract: Data processing methods facilitate an exchange, between healthcare providers and patients or other users, of structured data for objective health signs and subjective symptoms from the patient or caregiver during a pre-visit and/or follow-up period of care; standardized data-informed Loop protocols for following health conditions; data-informed ARC OF RECOVERY profiles that represent population-based recovery standards for signs, symptoms, or composites; automated alerts, based on analytics or machine learning, to warn health care providers regarding impending treatment failures or worsening of conditions. Patients in pre-visit or follow-up stages of healthcare respond to questions structured by a provider for objective signs and subjective symptoms, and may view questions and responses with associated alerts or status updates in a consolidated display that provides patient graphic images and comments about conditions.

  • Patent number: 8015063
    Abstract: A system and method for enabling information providers using a computer network to influence a search listing's position within a search result list generated by a search engine. Each network information provider has an account containing at least one search listing having at least three components: a description, a search term comprising one or more keywords, and a bid amount. A network information provider selects a search term relevant to the content of the web site. A search listing includes the search term and a description. A bidding process occurs when the network information provider enters a new bid amount for a search listing. The system then compares the various bid amounts for the same search term, and generates rank values for search listings having that search term. The rank value determines where the listing will appear on the search results page generated in response to a searcher's query.
