No assignee for this patent application has been made.
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “One or more aspects relate, in general, to dynamic processing within a computing environment, and in particular, to improving such processing, as it relates to healthcare.
“Healthcare, over time, has become increasingly digital. As part of the consumerization of healthcare, data has become more prevalent and available to patients and providers at a rate that is unprecedented. This creates a problem in which the volume of information exceeds the capacity of the individual to understand what actions can be taken, what behaviors should be exhibited, and what decisions influence actions.
“Information overload makes it difficult to identify and parse useful information from digital noise since one must make sense of volumes of aggregated data from multiple sources. Without individualized insights, it is difficult to use the data to improve health outcomes.”
As a supplement to the background information on this patent application, NewsRx correspondents also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent application: “Shortcomings of the prior art are overcome, and additional advantages are provided through the provision of a computer-implemented method of dynamic processing within a computing environment. The computer-implemented method includes obtaining device data from one or more devices for an individual. The one or more devices include one or more medical monitoring devices. Data is obtained from one or more exogenous sources, and the data includes current data relating to one or more medical resources. The device data obtained from the one or more devices and the data from the one or more exogenous sources are analyzed using an artificial intelligence agent. Based on the analyzing, one or more recommendations are provided. The one or more recommendations include an indication of a device to use that is different from the one or more devices to obtain different device data for the individual.
