A system for providing real-time bi-directional charge capture-centralized conversation between Billing and Provider entities, comprising a first computer apparatus with a computer apparatus charge capture module installed and a second computer apparatus with a computer apparatus billing module installed that are used to transmit and/or receive real-time charge capture centralized conversation data. Real-time charge capture-centralized conversation data is comprised of real-time charge capture data. The real-time charge capture data and the real-time charge capture-centralized conversation data can be combined to create real-time claim data. The system further comprises first computer apparatus and second computer apparatus receipt and transmission via secured communication links. The real-time charge capture data, real-time charge capture-centralized conversation data and real-time claim data is presented in a social media conversation style format. The first computer apparatus and second computer apparatus make it possible for both a Billing and a Provider entity to initiate, transmit or modify any of the sets of real-time charge capture data or real-time charge capture-centralized conversation data.

Systems and methods for intelligently routing a member of an organization to a single point-of-contact within an optimized, secure network to address all the member's healthcare needs are described. The disclosed intelligent routing configurations transform and process, in real-time, vast amounts of member data to generate aggregated diagnoses and a member score specific to each member's household. The scores, among other things, are used to determine an identification of special needs and an appropriate advocate within the organization to route the member, and its account file containing real-time member and household level data.

Treating kenosis may comprise the following steps: measuring the electrodermal activity of a person by means of an EDA sensor; assessing, on the basis of the electrodermal activity measured, whether the person is currently affected by kinetosis; generating electrical pulses at an electrode in contact with the person's skin in order to treat the kinetosis on the basis of the assessment as to whether the person is currently affected by kinetosis. The sensor and the electrode may be integrated in a device that can be worn on the person's body.

Systems and methods for providing assistance to a surgeon during an implant surgery are disclosed. A method includes defining areas of interest in diagnostic data of a patient and defining a screw bone type based on the surgeon's input. Post defining the areas of interest, salient points are determined for the areas of interest. Successively, an XZ angle, an XY angle, and a position entry point for a screw are determined based on the salient points of the areas of interest. Successively, a maximum screw diameter and a length of the screw are determined based on the salient points. Thereafter, the screw is identified and suggested to the surgeon for usage during the implant surgery.

A method for creating a patient-specific surgical plan includes receiving one or more pre-operative images of a patient having one or more infirmities affecting one or more anatomical joints. three-dimensional anatomical model of the one or more anatomical joints is created based on the one or more pre-operative images. One or more transfer functions and the three-dimensional anatomical model are used to identify a patient-specific implantation geometry that corrects the one or more infirmities. The transfer functions model performance of the one or more anatomical joints as a function of anatomical geometry and anatomical implantation features. surgical plan comprising the patient-specific implantation geometry may then be displayed.

An oximetry device sealed in a sheath directs a user to allow the oximetry device to make oximetry readings at a number of different tissue locations of a patient and average two or more of the oximetry readings by directing the lifts and placements of the oximetry device and sheath to and from the different tissue locations and detecting the lift and placements. The averages are generated and displayed on a display of the device for the oximetry readings if the lifts are made while use directions for the lifts are displayed on a display of the oximetry device. The averages are not generated if the lifts are not made while the user directions for the lifts are not displayed. The averages are simultaneously displayed with the oximetry readings which are instantaneous measurement for patient tissue.

A life management system receives data from a client device worn by a user, the data comprising biotelemetry data and activity data collected about a user wearing the client device. The life management system generates snapshot information using information from a group consisting of: the biotelemetry data, activity data, social data associated with the user, and user profile information associated with the user. The life management system generates a recommendation using portions of the snapshot information, and updates the snapshot information with the recommendation. The life management system executes a recommendation associated with the snapshot information in accordance with the user controls associated with the user.

Improved toilet apparatus and accessories are provided. The smart toilet system comprises components to enhance the functionality and use of existing toilets or new toilets. The smart toilet system comprises components designed to be fit in, on, above, or under a toilet seat, or to replace a toilet seat, bidet components, health monitoring components, ventilation or hygiene components, and communications and/or control components.

A method is used for the qualitative evaluation of real-time PCR data, where a time/PCR amplification plot of an associated sample is classified as a negative plot or as a positive plot. The method involves providing a real-time PCR amplification plot to be classified, plotting at least 20 successive amplitude values of corresponding successive PCR cycle indices of the sample. Next, a quality metric is determined, on the basis of the at least one amplitude value. A first criterion is determined by a comparison of the quality metric with a first standard value. A sequence of values is then determined, which indicates a gradient of the PCR amplification plot to be classified, and a second criterion is determined as to whether the sequence of values exceeds a second standard value. Finally, the real-time PCR amplification plot is classified as a positive plot if all the criteria given above are satisfied.
