  • Patent number: 11967428
    Abstract: A predictive model can be applied to data representing a history of events for an entity to compute a value indicative of an outcome related to a reference time for that entity. The effect of an event from an entity's history of events on an outcome for the entity at a reference time can vary based on the type of event and relative time of that event with respect to the reference time. The effect of an event from an entity's history of events on an outcome for the entity also can vary due to other characteristics of the entity in combination with the event. These effects are captured as weights. For an entity, functions of sets of events from the history of events are computed for the entity and a set of weights for events. The computed results are inputs to the predictive model.

  • Patent number: 11967406
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the surveillance and monitoring of a patient's medical care when the patient is treated at two or more medical organizations having different medical record systems. Patient information is received from a first medical organization and populated into an active risk assessment array that monitors the patient's risk for developing a particular disease or condition. Patient information is then received from a second medical organization and populated into the array. It is determined that actionable criteria have been met, and in response, a notification or alert is sent to the medical organizations indicating that the patient is at risk.

  • Patent number: 11963801
    Abstract: A system and method provides a glucose report for determining glycemic risk based on an ambulatory glucose profile of glucose data over a time period, a glucose control assessment based on median and variability of glucose, and indicators of high glucose variability. Time of day periods are shown at which glucose levels can be seen. A median glucose goal and a low glucose line provide coupled with glucose variability provide a view into effects that raising or lowering the median goal would have. Likelihood of low glucose, median glucose compared to goal, and variability of glucose below median provide probabilities based on glucose data. Patterns can be seen and provide guidance for treatment.

  • Patent number: 11957456
    Abstract: Patient support apparatuses include a frame, support surface, and a controller. The controller provides notification to a user of a service event relating to the patient support apparatus. The controller limits functionality of a component of the patient support apparatus based upon a severity of the service event. The controller may also, or alternatively, detect when a control is activated by a user and, in response to such activation, determine whether the patient support apparatus has been marked for use or marked for servicing. If marked for use, the controller responds in a first manner, and if marked for service, the controller responds in a different manner. In other embodiments, a method is provided for determining an order in which multiple patient support apparatuses should be service. In still other embodiments, the patient support apparatus automatically changes to an unusable configuration when in need of high priority service.

    Abstract: A computer apparatus and computer-implemented process for generating a batch record (BR) from a master batch record (MBR) during manufacture of a batch of pharmaceutical product. In the control software, a graphical analysis interface is provided for processing graphs of spectroscopic or chromatographic analysis. A group of fields in the MBR is assigned to the analysis. The operator wears an augmented reality headset and uses this to capture an image of a graph from an instrument display. The graph image is then processed to extract the graph and its metadata, and then further processed to find peaks and assign attribute labels to the peaks, and thus populate the analysis fields. Overlay images are then transmitted to AR headset to present to the operator the populated analysis fields. The operator then accepts or rejects the populated analysis fields by issuing user interface commands.

  • Patent number: 11830259
    Abstract: State information can be determined for a subject that is robust to different inputs or conditions. For drowsiness, facial landmarks can be determined from captured image data and used to determine a set of blink parameters. These parameters can be used, such as with a temporal network, to estimate a state (e.g., drowsiness) of the subject. To improve robustness, an eye state determination network can determine eye state from the image data, without reliance on intermediate landmarks, that can be used, such as with another temporal network, to estimate the state of the subject. A weighted combination of these values can be used to determine an overall state of the subject. To improve accuracy, individual behavior patterns and context information can be utilized to account for variations in the data due to subject variation or current context rather than changes in state.

It impedes or avoids non-authorized access to the interface and damages for persons and material that otherwise could occur due to the missing disruptive discharge proof potential separation between the service interface and particularly the power section of the apparatus control.

  • Patent number: 11727781
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the movements or other activities of patient. Aspects include a monitoring device with one or more sensors such as a pressure or motion sensors that may be positioned on or near a patient. Alerts may be generated by the monitoring device if the sensor readings fall outside predetermined limits set in a patient profile specific to a particular patient. Sensor readings and/or alerts may be sent by the monitoring device to the central server which may notify nearby caregivers that a patient needs assistance. The server may be configured to analyze sensor readings and alert information to refine patient profiles to reduce or eliminate false alarms.

  • Patent number: 11710554
    Abstract: A method for developing codes and a cross functional set of rules that suggest to a physician, in real-time, potential diagnoses related to diagnostic results or other clinical data entered into the electronic Medical Record (EMR). The method generates a possible diagnosis for consideration and addition to the patient problem list. When the physician selects a suggested diagnosis, the problem list is automatically updated with the diagnosis. In view of the above, the physician has the needed information at the point of care so that the timeliness, safety and quality of care is improved. The generated documentation also assists other physicians throughout the continuum of care for the Patient. The method creates crosswalk from data element to diagnosis to enhance the completeness of documentation. As a result, the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG) is more accurately assigned by coders at discharge to drive more accurate and efficient billing for improved reimbursement and revenue.
