  • Patent number: 11587652
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to improve the handling of exceptions during the retrieval and processing of health records from various data sources are provided. During the retrieval and processing of health records, exceptions to typical behavior are recorded with context at the data extraction protocol level, at the health record level and at the level of elements with the document. Accordingly, insights may be developed and configurations, rules, or coding changes, based on the detected exceptions may be proposed. In some instances, an operator may be notified about the exceptions such that the operator may act on the insight. In some instances, the processing of extracted records (documents, messages) may be deferred until the operator has made appropriate changes to configuration, rules, or code. In some instances, the system may supplement and/or replace the operator with machine learning engines that act on the developed insights.

  • Patent number: 11399736
    Abstract: Ingestible bio-telemetry communication network and associated systems are described. The communication network can include one or more ingestible bio-telemetry tags; and a reader, wherein each of the one or more ingestible bio-telemetry tags generates an out-link signal comprising, for each bit of data in a frame, a pulse reverse keyed symbol. Multiple ingestible bio-telemetry tags can be managed at the same time by allowing the frequency of the transmit carrier signal to change, or “hop” to different frequencies so as to minimize likelihood of collision. A reader can identify the proper frequency either by a signal from the tags indicated the frequency of the next hop or, when no bi-directional communication is available, by deducing the carrier signal frequency from the start bits of a received frame from the tag and scanning for the shifted carrier signal frequency within a tolerance of the deduced carrier signal frequency.

  • Patent number: 11127282
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an emergency response system (ERS) to provide an augmented reality overlay on a real-world scene through the heads-up display (HUD) of an emergency responder. In addition to displaying information known to the ERS, an emergency responder terminal of the ERS can detect propagated signals from devices not registered with the ERS. The source and location of the propagated signal can be determined, and a generic display object can be generated representing the location of the propagated signal. The generic display object can be displayed on the HUD when the location of the source of the propagated signal falls within the field of view of a camera component of the emergency responder terminal.

  • Patent number: 11033228
    Abstract: A wearable fatigue alert device includes a housing that is secured to a wristband. The device includes one or more sensors that are located on the wristband. When the device is worn over a wrist, the one or more sensors are configured to obtain biofeedback data from a wearer for determining the fatigue status of the wearer. The device includes a circuit board having a microprocessor that is in communication with the one or more sensors. The one or more sensors collect and communicate the biofeedback data of the wearer to the microprocessor, which generates an alert signal (e.g., vibration, sound, light) that notifies the wearer that they are becoming fatigued. The microprocessor uses Electrodermal Activity (EDA) technology for evaluating the fatigue status of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 10993640
    Abstract: The movement of a part of human body, e.g. a limb, is monitored. The movement includes N iterated rotations in a plane. A sensing device is fixed to the limb and provides data indicative of the limb movement. These data are processed to generate a rotation signal. Then, portions of the rotation signal corresponding to each movement iteration are identified. To this purpose, a plurality of null-velocity instants is identified, wherein the angular velocity of the sensing device is null. Then, each null-velocity instant is classified as a candidate start/end time or a candidate peak time. Then, a start time, end time and peak time for each iteration are determined as a combination of two candidate start/end times and a candidate peak time that fulfils certain conditions on the values of the rotation signal in correspondence of candidate start/end times and candidate peak times.

  • Patent number: 10976298
    Abstract: A system and method for augmenting or adding to the information used by an in-vitro diagnostic or other diagnostic device to generate results of a test is disclosed. A diagnostic device is capable of generating test results based on a sample, such as a sample provided by a patient, and is also capable of receiving additional information to enhance the results providable by the device. For example, an in-vitro diagnostic device is configured to read a lateral flow assay test, and is configured to receive additional diagnostic, network, test identification, or environmental information over a network. Using both the result of the diagnostic test and the additional information, the disclosed device provides more thorough, accurate, and reliable diagnostic information. The results generated by the device may be communicated to an appropriate remote device to enhance the results obtainable by such tests.

  • Patent number: 10960220
    Abstract: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator system includes a support structure that a patient can wear. The system also includes electrodes that contact the patient, and define two or more channels from which ECG signals are sensed. A processor may evaluate the channels by analyzing their respective ECG signals, to determine which contains less noise than the other(s). The analysis can be by extracting statistics from the ECG signals, optionally after first processing them, and then by comparing these statistics. These statistics may include tall peak counts, amplitudes of peaks compared to historical peak amplitudes, signal baseline shift, dwell time near a baseline, narrow peak counts, zero crossings counts, determined heart rates, and so on. Once the less noisy signal is identified, its channel can be followed preferentially or to the exclusion of other channels, for continuing monitoring and/or determining whether to shock the patient.
