Information that describes one or more imaging analysis services and associated service criteria is accessed and compared to the metadata. Based on matches between the image metadata and service criteria, services are selected and executed, producing an output. Iterative rounds of service matching based on the metadata and the output of previous services and service execution proceed. The output of the services is associated with the image data and metadata, stored in the memory area, and made available to the user. A data repository, including the original images, metadata, and service output is accessible via the services for use in comparative analyses. Such services can utilize the repository to dynamically update indices and algorithms used in the comparative analyses. | 2021-05-06 |

20210134443 | Correlating Patient Health Characteristics with Relevant Treating Clinicians - A method builds models for matching patients to clinicians. For each of a plurality of patients, the method retrieves a plurality of clinician selection characteristics and a temporal sequence of two or more health assessments. Each health assessment tracks a plurality of health status conditions and a treating clinician. The method then forms a respective feature vector that includes the clinician selection characteristics, indicators for health characteristics, a computed health status change according to the temporal sequence of two or more health assessments, and an identifier of the treating clinician. The method uses the feature vectors to train a model that correlates sets of clinician selection characteristics and health characteristics to optimal treating clinicians. The method then stores the trained model in a database for subsequent use in matching new patients to treating clinicians. | 2021-05-06 |
20210134444 | Correlating Patient Health Characteristics with Relevant Treating Clinicians - A method provides patients with clinician referrals based on health assessment from users. Each health assessment includes a plurality of clinician selection characteristics and a plurality of health status conditions. The method retrieves a trained model, which has been trained according to a plurality of patients that have each provided a respective temporal sequence of health assessments during treatment by a respective clinician. The method forms a feature vector that includes the plurality of clinician selection characteristics and a plurality of health characteristics that are determined from the health status conditions. The method then applies the trained model to the feature vector to generate a list of candidate treating clinicians who have optimally treated patients whose clinician selection characteristics and determined health characteristics correlate with the health assessment from the user. The method then provides the generated list of candidate treating clinicians to the user for selection. | 2021-05-06 |
