In one aspect, place and route software creates an integrated circuit (IC) in an optimal configuration at a first voltage condition. A first clock tree is created as part of the place and route process. Clock skew for the first clock tree is evaluated and minimized through insertion of bypassable delay elements. The delay elements are then removed from the wiring routing diagram. A second voltage condition is identified, and clock tree generation software is allowed to optimize the wiring routing diagram for the second voltage condition. The second clock tree generation software may insert more bypassable delay elements into the wiring routing diagram that allow clock skew optimization at the second voltage condition.

    Abstract: A computer system increases the efficiency with which billing codes may be generated based on a chart, such as a medical chart. The computer system provides the chart to a computer-assisted coding (CAC) module, which produces an initial set of billing codes and an initial assessment of the accuracy and/or completeness of the codes. The computer system decides whether to send the initial set of billing codes to an initial human reviewer. If the computer system sends the initial set of billing codes to the initial human reviewer, then the initial human reviewer reviews the chart and the output of the CAC module, and attempts to fix errors in the CAC output. The system provides the chart and the current (initial or modified) codes to a final human reviewer, who may be more highly skilled than the initial human reviewer, for final verification and modification.

    Abstract: Disease subtyping is accomplished by a computer-implemented algorithm that manipulates a first genetic dataset to construct a set of first connectivity matrices. To this set of matrices Gaussian noise is introduced to generate a perturbed dataset. The computer-implemented algorithm assesses which of the set of first connectivity matrices was least affected by introduction of noise and that matric is used to define the optimal clustering. Once the optimal clustering is determined, computer-implemented supervised classification is performed to determine, for a particular patient, with which disease subtype cluster that person's genetic data most closely aligns. Armed with this knowledge, the treatment regimen is specified with much higher likelihood of success.

  • Publication number: 20160267237
    Abstract: Methods of controlling healthcare delivery processes within a clinical environment include providing rules predetermined in terms of conditional results governing clinical processes to supervise the delivery of healthcare within the environment. The rules are executable based on event data and subject data values toward the objective of optimal performance of the processes. The rules apply to all individuals of the environment and data derived from auto-ID tags of individuals are operated on by the rules and corrective action is indicated by evaluation of such data pursuant to the rules. Signals transmitted utilizing the tags are processed to obtain event data representing the locations of individuals and events occurring within the environment. Subject data related to the individuals is collected. The rules are executed using current values of event data and subject data to evaluate the performance of each process. A corrective action is performed indicated by the rules being evaluated.

  • Publication number: 20160267239
    Abstract: An Intelligent Sensor Interfacing Unit (ISIU) for detection and configuration of sensors for a Portable Electronic Device (PED). The ISIU may identify sensors connected to the PED, according to an implementation of the present subject matter. The ISIU then determines information relating to the capabilities and requirements of the identified sensors. The ISIU on the basis of the determined sensor information may access that one of the sensors' identified may be newly coupled to the PED. Further, the ISIU upon accessing that one of the sensors' may be newly coupled to the PED, shares sensor information with Host CPU of the PED. The Host CPU upon receiving such information configures the newly coupled sensor and trains the ISIU for execution of the newly coupled sensor in future.

    Abstract: A restorative healthcare monitoring, care, and management system and method is described. Telemetry and telemedicine components collect real-time patient data, along with other sources such as healthcare providers, facilities. Data is aggregated in a data repository where it can be holistically processed and utilized to populate data forms and exchange, outcome data, and urgent intervention. Sensors integrated into the system may provide broader collection abilities to enable healthcare providers to provide directed care and improve patient outcomes.
