  • Patent number: 11921729
    Abstract: A technique for generating and presenting context-aware recommendations to assist a patient in managing a chronic health condition. A health management platform provides various services that are accessible to a patient via a graphical user interface (GUI). Input data are received from various services and processed to generate contextual data associated with the patient such as a health state of the patient. Using the contextual data, a recommendation to access a particular service is generated and presented to the patient via the GUI. For example, in response to determining a health state of a patient, a recommendation to access a service to improve the health state of the patient can be automatically presented via the GUI to encourage the patient to access the service.

  • Publication number: 20230409882
    Abstract: Facilitating efficient processing of transformer based models is provided herein. A low latency processing system includes a transformer having an embedding layer and a Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) having a Matrix Multiplication module (MXM) and Vector Calculation module (VXM). The TSP is arranged to deterministically process information arranged by the embedding layer and an encoder layer with the associated self-attention mechanism, the information being further modified according to the transformer using a general matrix multiply (GEMM) mapped directly on the MXM and associated accumulator. Further, at least some set of information is processed to parallelize the execution of GEMMs across all MXM planes.

  • Patent number: 11769324
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors distributed about a space. Each sensor generates sensor data associated with properties of one or more people in the space. A gateway device receives the sensor data from each of the plurality of sensors and provides the sensor data to an automated response subsystem over a network. The automated response subsystem receives the sensor data. A first feature value is determined based on the received sensor data. An event score is determined based on the first feature value. The event score is compared to predefined response criteria. Based on the comparison of the event score to the predefined response criteria, an actionable event is detected, and an automated response to initiate for the detected actionable event is identified. One or both of an alert and instructions are provided in order to initiate the automated response.

  • Patent number: 11620888
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors distributed about a space. Each sensor generates sensor data associated with properties of one or more people in the space. An automated response subsystem receives the sensor data. An unauthorized activity performed by a first person in the space is detected based on at least a portion of the received sensor data. In response to detecting the unauthorized activity, tracking instructions are transmitted that identify the first person associated with the unauthorized activity. A tracking device receives the tracking instructions. A device associated with the first person is detected. Over a period of time, the tracking device sends queries to the device and receives corresponding responses from the device. The tracking device determines positions of the device within the space over the period of time.
