Patent number: 11966914Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method for executing real-time processing of resource transfers using distributed ledger technology is provided. In particular, the system utilizes a private or semi-private blockchain to create a distributed ledger which comprises a record of all resource transfers between a number of entities. The real-time processing system addresses a number of computer technology-centric challenges associated with executing resource transfers. In particular, executing resource transfers on a real-time basis allows the nodes of the blockchain to more evenly distribute computing workload over time when compared to more traditional resource transfer systems that use batch processing to execute transfers.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Benjamin Castinado, Charles Russell Kendall, Martha Sain McClellan, Lee Ann Proud, Ayeesha Sachedina, Calvin William Tackett, Jr.

Patent number: 11923074Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying those entities within a network that have the most influence on other entities within the network. A multi-relational network comprising links among a plurality of physicians is generated based on peer network data, wherein each link indicates a first physician that influences a second physician, and a weight of the influence. A decision by a treating physician of the plurality of physicians is decomposed, using a deep learning engine, into a magnitude of peer influence and a magnitude of control factor influence based on the multi-relational network and a plurality of control factors respectively. The magnitude of peer influence among one or more physicians in the multi-relational network is distributed among physicians in the multi-relational network based on the links each physician maintains with other physicians.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Ruoxin Li, Yong Cai, John H. Eichert, Jr., Emily Zhao, Yilian Yuan, Yanping Liu, Steve Eichert, D. Bruce West, William McClellan

Publication number: 20230197255Abstract: Methods and systems to identify collaborative communities of individuals from graphs of multiple types of relationships amongst the individuals, including to mine data related to multiple types of relationships amongst individuals, construct graphs to represent the respective types of relationships amongst individuals, and perform a multiplex graph convolutional network (MGCN) artificial intelligence machine learning (AIML) analysis across the multiple graphs to identify the collaborative communities. A mathematical representation of the graphs may be learned/tuned to optimize clustering of the individuals. Multiple parameters (inter-graph weights, consensus regularization function) may be jointly tuned based on a joint optimization function. The collaborative communities may be displayed such that relative positions of the individuals represent measures of influence exerted by the respective individuals within the respective collaborative communities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Yong CAI, Yanping LIU, Ruoxin LI, Emily ZHAO, Yilian YUAN, William MCCLELLAN

Patent number: 11328825Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for using machine-learning to identify potential opportunity patients that are more likely to adjust his/her preference for a healthcare provider or service. In some implementations, integrated patient data is obtained. A patient sequence feature vector, a provider sequence feature vector, and a set of entity-specific feature vectors are generated. A set of opportunity patients is identified. A notification is transmitted to the set of opportunity patients about a second treatment plan.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: IQVIA Inc.Inventors: Kezi Yu, Fan Zhang, Yunlong Wang, Yilian Yuan, Emily Zhao, William McClellan, Yong Cai
