A diagnostic center server is configured to receive the customer examination data from the customer diagnostic center over a network and allow the customer examination data to be accessed by an eye-care practitioner. A practitioner device associated with the eye-care practitioner is configured to receive the customer examination data from the diagnostic center server and display at least a portion of the customer examination data to the eye-care practitioner. Customer evaluation data is generated pertaining to the eye-care practitioner's evaluation of the customer examination data. An eye health report is provided to the customer via the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventor: Joseph S. Seriani

Publication number: 20190148018Abstract: The present teaching relates to medical suggestion searching. In one example, data related to a medication drug are obtained. One or more candidate prescription strings are identified from the obtained data. Each of the candidate prescription strings is associated with a plurality of attributes. Each of the one or more candidate prescription strings is automatically processed based on at least one model to generate one or more prescription strings each with an associated ranking. At least some of the generated one or more prescription strings and the associated rankings are stored for future use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2019Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventor: David Andrew Sellars

Publication number: 20190148020Abstract: Embodiments include methods by which mathematical models are applied to data from at least two interrelated physiological parameters employed in parallel with data gathered from various sources to provide an end user (e.g., individual or group of individuals) or consented third party (e.g., insurer of the user) with an estimate of how the physiological parameters will change in the future and a number of years indicative of the terminal age and/or health and life expectancy of the user. Furthermore, utilizing the translation from a lifestyle intervention (e.g., cessation of smoking or commencement of an exercise program) to the physiological parameters from historical data (e.g., wearable data) may permit display of a lifestyle intervention pattern and a current and planned physiological trajectory. The output may be quantified translation from lifestyle intervention to real time health and life expectancy and may be calculated from past and present data and hypothetical planned interventions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventor: Franco Bauer DU PREEZ

Publication number: 20190148021Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing brain structural characteristics for predicting a diagnosis of a neurobehavioral disorder are disclosed. One method for utilizing brain structural characteristics for predicting a diagnosis of a neurobehavioral disorder includes receiving brain imaging data for a human subject of at least one first age. The method also includes determining, from the brain imaging data, measurements of brain structural characteristics of the human subject and inputting the brain structural characteristics into a model that predicts, using the measurements of the brain structural characteristics, a diagnosis of a neurobehavioral disorder at a second age greater than the at least one first age.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventors: Martin Andreas Styner, Sun Hyung Kim, Donald Louis Collins, Vladimir S.

Publication number: 20190148022Abstract: A patient-specific cutting assembly comprises a model file including geometrical data of a bone of the patient, of an intramedullary canal of the bone, and a planned orientation of a cutting block. A fixing rod is adapted to be longitudinally inserted in and extending partially from the intramedullary canal. A patient-specific cutting block is connectable to the fixing rod. The patient-specific cutting block includes a structure having a patient specific geometry corresponding to the model file of the patient, the structure configured to be connected to a portion of the fixing rod projecting from the bone in a unique coupling orientation. A cutting guide is connected to the structure, the cutting guide being in the planned orientation when the structure is connected to the portion of the fixing rod projecting from the bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2019Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventors: Pierre COUTURE, Vincent MASSE, Anselm Jakob NEUROHR

Publication number: 20190148023Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that leverage machine-learned models in conjunction with online data to monitor and detect the spread of a disease, such as, for example, a communicable illness. In one example, a computing system can include or otherwise leverage a machine-learned disease detection model. The computing system can input search engine data and, optionally, location data respectively associated with a first plurality of users into the machine-learned disease detection model. The computing system can receive identification of a second plurality of users predicted to have the disease as an output of the machine-learned disease detection model. The second plurality of users can be a subset of the first plurality of users. The computing system can identify one or more locations associated with elevated levels of the disease based at least in part on the location data respectively associated with at least the second plurality of users.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventors: Adam Sadilek, Evgeniy Gabrilovich

Publication number: 20190148024Abstract: A computer-implemented therapy management system is operated to collect patient data associated with medical device users. Treatment of the users is managed by healthcare professionals (HCPs), which include a customer HCP and a plurality of non-customer HCPs. The system receives a first set of attributes for a first individual patient or a first group of patients under care of the customer HCP, and a second set of attributes for a second individual patient or a second group of patients. The system identifies a first set of patient records associated with the customer HCP that satisfy the received first attributes, and a second set of patient records that satisfy the received second attributes, and compares patient outcomes from the first set of records against patient outcomes from the second set of records. A comparative therapy report is generated and communicated to a client device associated with the customer HCP.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2018Publication date: May 16, 2019Inventors: Yuxiang Zhong, Pratik Agrawal, Michael P.
