In certain aspects, the methods include extracting dairy farm management practice information from a dairy farm, wherein the dairy farm management practice information comprises one or more items of information for two or more dairy farm management practice categories selected from the group consisting of: basic herd risk profile, maternity pen management, colostrum management, milk feeding, vaccinations, and calf housing. In certain aspects, the methods further include assigning weighted risk scores to the items of dairy farm management practice information extracted, and determining a total risk score for each of the two or more dairy farm management practice categories based on the assigned weighted risk scores. Also provided are non-transitory computer-readable media and computer devices that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure. | 2022-01-06 |
20220005607 | METHOD OR SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSING PERIODONTAL DISEASE - A method or system for determining the susceptibility of a dog to periodontal disease and to the development of treatment regimens based upon the levels of susceptibility determined. The method can include determining a characteristic of the dog selected from at least one of a breed of the dog, a shape of the dog's head, a size category of the dog, a weight or body condition of the dog, a predicted size category or weight of the dog as an adult, or an age of the dog. The method can also include comparing the characteristic with a dataset comprising an occurrence of the periodontal disease in other dogs having the at least one characteristic. In addition, the method can include detecting an overall susceptibility level of the dog for the periodontal disease, and/or displaying a customized recommendation on a graphical user interface of the computer based on the overall susceptibility level of the dog. | 2022-01-06 |
20220005608 | METHOD OF PREDICTING DISEASE, GENE OR PROTEIN RELATED TO QUERIED ENTITY AND PREDICTION SYSTEM BUILT BY USING THE SAME - Provided is a method, whereby data is collected from a plurality of databases to build a graph database, and an artificial neural network is trained based on the data stored in the built graph database so that an entity, for example, a disease, a gene, or a protein related to a queried entity on the artificial neural network for which the training has been completed, may be predicted, and a system built by using the same. | 2022-01-06 |
20220005609 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING FACILITIES - A system for managing facilities comprises an acoustic event detector including an acoustic sensor for detecting an acoustic event in a compartment of a facility, a facility terminal electrically connected to the acoustic event detector, and an external server communicating with the facility terminal via a network. At least one of the facility terminal and the external server comprises a processor. The processor is configured to implement the steps of: extracting a respiratory disease symptom of a user in the facility from the detected acoustic event; assessing the respiratory disease symptom of the user to generate infection risk information associated with an infection risk of a next user expected to use the facility; and transmitting the infection risk information to at least one of an external user terminal, the external server, and a third party via the network. A method for managing facilities is also provided. | 2022-01-06 |
20220005610 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF PRIORITIZING TREATMENTS, VACCINATION, TESTING AND/OR ACTIVITIES WHILE PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF INDIVIDUALS - System and methods for anonymously selecting subjects for treatment against an infectious disease caused by a pathogen. The system comprises a plurality of electronic devices comprising instructions to generate an ID and, when in proximity of another such electronic device, one or both electronic devices transmit/receive the ID to/from the other electronic device. Then, a score is generated based on a plurality of such received IDs. Additionally, based on information received from a server, relevant treatment instructions are displayed to the subjects based on the received information and the score. The server comprises instructions for sending to the plurality of electronic devices the information to be displayed with the relevant treatment instructions, additionally the server and/or the electronic devices comprise instructions to generate a prediction of likelihood of a subject transmitting said pathogen, based on the score of the subject. | 2022-01-06 |
20220005611 | Medical Communication System For Efficiently Displaying Annotation Information Relating To Patients - A medical communication system for efficiently displaying annotation information relating to patients; more particularly annotation records for digital medical assets, such as a digital image data object, which define information to be displayed with the digital medical assets. The medical communication system comprises a user store comprising a plurality of user records, a patient store comprising a plurality of patient records, a medical asset store comprising a plurality of digital medical assets, and an annotation store comprising a plurality of annotation records, and is configured to obtain annotation information for a digital medical asset from a first user; generate an annotation record; store the annotation record in the annotation store, associate the annotation record with a patient record associated with the digital medical asset, receive a request from a second user to display the annotation record, and display to the second user the digital medical asset associated with the annotation record together with the annotation information in the annotation record. | 2022-01-06 |
