Patent Issued for Computer Network Architecture With Machine Learning And Artificial Intelligence And Dynamic Patient Guidance (USPTO 10,923,233)

Hospital & Nursing Home Daily

2021 FEB 26 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Hospital & Nursing Home Daily -- A patent by the inventors Wang, Yale (San Francisco, CA); Bauknight, Samuel H. (San Francisco, CA); Rogow, Adam F. (San Francisco, CA); Larson, Jeffrey D. (San Francisco, CA); Drouin, Jean P. (San Francisco, CA), filed on November 25, 2019, was published online on March 1, 2021, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents.

Patent number 10,923,233 is assigned to Clarify Health Solutions Inc. (San Francisco, California, United States).

The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “There is a longstanding frustrated need to have programmable hardware function in a better manner, and particularly to have hardware be smarter and learn from its own experience, with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

“The longstanding frustrated need is particularly acute in the healthcare field. Historically, patient care plans have been static. Patients undergoing medical procedures may have been given an educational binder with materials and checklists. But, if something is not covered in the documents, or if the patient does not adhere to the prescribed checklists, this prior art approach cannot adapt to bring the patient back on track with the patient care plan.

“There is a frustrated need for a computer system with artificial intelligence and dynamic patient guidance to ensure patients are on track with the patient care plan. This would avoid the need for care coordinators to first call or e-mail patients to simply double check that everything is going well, rather than being able to focus their work on patients who are off track.”

In addition to the background information obtained for this patent, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent: “The present disclosure is related generally to computer network architectures for machine learning and artificial intelligence that enable a computer to learn by its own experience with users and by the passage of time, thus enabling superior performance by the computer hardware. Various embodiments apply to the healthcare field and constitute a healthcare robot with artificial intelligence.

“The present disclosure describes a computer network architecture with machine learning and artificial intelligence to allow for a patient’s behavior and characteristics to continually inform and update how a patient is to be guided through their care plan, and how much expensive, direct intervention by care coordinators is required.

“Embodiments automatically adapt patient guidance in the care plan based on the effectiveness of the guidance to date and attributes of the patient.”

The claims supplied by the inventors are:

“What is claimed is:
