20220044813 | INDIVIDUALIZED MULTIPLE-DAY SIMULATION MODEL OF TYPE 1 DIABETIC PATIENT DECISION-MAKING FOR DEVELOPING, TESTING AND OPTIMIZING INSULIN THERAPIES DRIVEN BY GLUCOSE SENSORS - A mathematical model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patient decision-making can be used to simulate, in silico, realistic glucose/insulin dynamics, for several days, in a variety of subjects who take therapeutic actions (e.g. insulin dosing) driven by either self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The decision-making (DM) model can simulate real-life situations and everyday patient behaviors. Accurate submodels of SMBG and CGM measurement errors are incorporated in the comprehensive DM model. The DM model accounts for common errors the patients are used to doing in their diabetes management, such as miscalculations of meal carbohydrate content, early/delayed insulin administrations and missed insulin boluses. The DM model can be used to assess in silico if/when CGM can safely substitute SMBG in T1D management, to develop and test guidelines for CGM driven insulin dosing, to optimize and individualize off-line insulin therapies and to develop and test decision support systems. | 2022-02-10 |
20220044814 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOCALISING OR IDENTIFYING MALIGNANCIES - Provided herein are methods for identifying and treating a malignancy in a patient. Aspects of the described methods are performed through use of a computing device. The method comprises receiving at the computing device a plurality of spectra acquired from a corresponding plurality of aliquots containing a biophysiological carrier protein. At least one of a concentration of a spin probe and a concentration of a polar reagent varies between the aliquots. The computing device then determines biophysical parameters based on the received spectra and applies at least parts of the received spectra and the biophysical parameters as an input to a trained logistic regression model. The logistic regression model trained to determine a probability of applied input parameters relating to one or more of a plurality of predetermined diseases and/or disease localisations. The trained model is used to determine a probability of the input parameters relating to one or more of said predetermined diseases and/or disease localisations and outputs a result of the determination, which can be used to determine and then provide proper therapeutic treatments. | 2022-02-10 |
20220044815 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR THE APPLICATION OF REINFORCEMENT LEARNING TO ANIMAL MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS - Methods and apparatus for the application of reinforcement learning to animal medical diagnostics. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed that utilizes two (2) RL agents that are arranged sequentially and that are optimized independently from one another. The first RL agent is an assessment RL agent which takes as input from one or more of: outputs from classification artificial intelligence (AI) engines; outputs from subjective biological data storage devices, and outputs from objective biological data storage devices. Using these input(s), the assessment RL agent outputs a set of assessments which evaluate a set of conditions associated with an animal. This set of assessments is then provided as input to a second RL agent known-as a plan RL agent which determines a set of treatment recommendations and diagnostics based off this determined set of assessments. Methods and computer-readable media are also disclosed. | 2022-02-10 |
20220044816 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to estimate a waveform of heartbeats by inputting a waveform of a measured pulse wave to a model constructed by mounting a pulse wave measurement device and a heartbeat measurement device to a test subject and calculating the relationship between respective waveforms output from the devices. | 2022-02-10 |
