20230051977 · 2023-02-16 ·

A method includes, receiving: (i) a selected three-dimensional (3D) section that has been ablated in a patient organ in accordance with a specified contour, and (ii) a dataset, which is indicative of a set of lesions formed during ablation of the selected 3D section. The selected 3D section is transformed into a two-dimensional (2D) map, and checking, on the 2D map, whether the set of lesions covers the specified contour.

MACHINE LEARNING ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR CLINICAL AND PATIENT DATA
20230048995 · 2023-02-16 ·

Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing data from oncology treatments such as immune checkpoint inhibitor or radiotherapy therapies, including predicting adverse events of the oncology therapies, predicting objective response of the oncology therapies, predicting symptoms from the oncology therapies, and use of such predictions by technological implementations to achieve improved system and medical outcomes. An example technique for generating a predicted treatment outcome includes: receiving patient data for a human subject, which provides patient-reported outcomes collected from the human subject relating to a particular oncology treatment; processing the patient data with a trained artificial intelligence (AI) prediction model, which receives the patient data as input and produces a prediction of a treatment outcome as output; and outputting data to modify a treatment workflow of an oncology treatment for the human subject, based on the prediction of the treatment outcome.

CARDIOGRAM COLLECTION AND SOURCE LOCATION IDENTIFICATION
20230049769 · 2023-02-16 ·

Systems are provided for generating data representing electromagnetic states of a heart for medical, scientific, research, and/or engineering purposes. The systems generate the data based on source configurations such as dimensions of, and scar or fibrosis or pro-arrhythmic substrate location within, a heart and a computational model of the electromagnetic output of the heart. The systems may dynamically generate the source configurations to provide representative source configurations that may be found in a population. For each source configuration of the electromagnetic source, the systems run a simulation of the functioning of the heart to generate modeled electromagnetic output (e.g., an electromagnetic mesh for each simulation step with a voltage at each point of the electromagnetic mesh) for that source configuration. The systems may generate a cardiogram for each source configuration from the modeled electromagnetic output of that source configuration for use in predicting the source location of an arrhythmia.

20230051436 · 2023-02-16 ·

A system and method for determining a health outcome, comprising: receiving first and second images or videos of a wound of a patient; comparing the images or videos to detect a characteristic of the wound, the characteristic including an identification of a change in the wound; receiving at least one non-image or non-video data input that includes data about the patient; executing a machine learning algorithm comprising a dataset of images or videos to analyze the identified change in the wound and to correlate at least one first image or video and at least one second image or video with the at least one non-image or non-video data input and to train the machine learning algorithm with the identification of a change in the wound; and generating a medical outcome prediction regarding a status and recovery of the patient in response to correlating the at least one additional input with the first and second images or videos.

Secure file transfer system and method

A scheme for securely transferring a patient data file to an intended recipient regardless of a transfer mode selected by a sender. Encryption system executing at the sender device is operative to encrypt each plaintext data line of a file, one by one, using a symmetric key and a starting IV that is incremented per each line, resulting in corresponding ciphertext lines added to an encrypted file. A hash is generated based on the encrypted file. An encrypted header containing the symmetric key, starting IV and the hash is generated using a public key of the recipient, which is appended to the encrypted file. The encrypted header and associated encrypted file are transmitted to the recipient in any manner. Upon receipt, the recipient decrypts the encrypted header using a private key to obtain the symmetric key, starting IV and the hash, which are used by the recipient to validate and decrypt the encrypted file on a line-by-line basis.

Fractal analysis of left atrium to predict atrial fibrillation recurrence

Embodiments discussed herein facilitate determination of risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after ablation based on fractal features. One example embodiment is configured to generate a binary mask of at least a portion of a CT scan of a heart of a patient with AF; compute one or more radiomic fractal-based features from at least one of the binary mask or the portion of the CT scan; provide the one or more radiomic fractal-based features to a trained machine learning (ML) classifier; and receive a prediction from the trained ML classifier of whether or not the AF will recur after AF ablation, wherein the prediction is based at least in part on the one or more radiomic fractal-based features.
