In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure. | 2015-10-01 |
20150278482 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE LIFE CYCLE TRACKING AND MANAGEMENT OF HEALTHCARE RELATED INFORMATION - Certain embodiments herein relate to, among other things, secure life cycle tracking and management of information, such as healthcare related information or other sensitive information. An electronic file that includes such information may be tracked from the time it is received until the time it is deleted, in certain embodiments herein. The tracking may include storing identifications of users who accessed the file, locations at which the file was replicated or copied, a time at which the file was accessed, etc. By storing such information, users of healthcare related information may be notified or reminded about the status of the healthcare related information so that they may manage the information effectively. For example, the information may be deleted according to a deletion policy when it is no longer needed. | 2015-10-01 |
20150278483 | System and Technique To Document A Patient Encounter - A technique includes displaying an anatomical model of a human on a display of a processor-based machine; and in the processor-based machine, input data acquired from a user interacting with the displayed anatomical model is processed to provide or update an electronic health record in response to an encounter between the clinician and a patient. The processing includes selecting an interface from a plurality of interfaces based on user interaction with the displayed anatomical model as a result of the encounter, displaying the selected interface and gathering input data in response to the user interaction with the selected interface. The technique includes determining content to be included in the electronic health record based at least in part on the input data. | 2015-10-01 |
20150278484 | Medical Data Acquisition and Patient Management System and Method - A sample analysis and medical data acquisition system for patient management includes a first user interface (UI) display module for displaying a medical chart page that includes selectable items associated with patient management. The first UI display module displays a set of medical delivery systems associated with a selectable medical delivery selection item, from which a medical delivery system is chosen. The system includes a second UI display module, in communication with the first UI display module, for displaying parameter fields for entry of operation data associated with the chosen medical delivery system. Medical data is captured from a patient by an analyzer configured to perform analysis of samples from the patient. The medical data is analyzed in accordance with entered operation data. The system includes an analysis display module, in communication with at least the first UI display module, for displaying sample analysis results. | 2015-10-01 |
20150278485 | DESIGNING COMBINATIONS THERAPIES OF NON-INTERACTING DRUGS FOR EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF DISEASE USING OPTIMAL CONTROL - A method of generating a combination therapy model for treating HIV is described. The method includes receiving a group of selected antibodies for the treatment of HIV and fitness parameters for a number of escape mutants and utilizing an iterative algorithm to determine suboptimal or optimal combinations of antibodies and concentrations for each selected antibody. The algorithm explicitly accounts for evolutionary dynamics of a generic disease. | 2015-10-01 |

20150278487 | SECURITY SCHEME FOR AUTHENTICATING DIGITAL ENTITIES AND AGGREGATE OBJECT ORIGINS - Systems and methods use an origin pattern to verify the authenticity of a collection of items or an entity offering items for sale. Example methods include receiving identifiers for items in a collection, determining the requesting entity is authorized to include the items in the collection, generating an origin pattern based on a hash of a private identifier for the requesting entity and a collection identifier, and providing the origin pattern for placement of packaging for the collection. Another example method includes generating a first digital identity origin pattern that is provided for display, receiving a verification request with a second digital identity origin pattern, and verifying that the verification requestor generated the first digital identity origin pattern, a fingerprint component of the first digital identity origin pattern matches a fingerprint component of the second digital identity origin pattern, and the verification request falls within a verification window. | 2015-10-01 |
20150278488 | MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT BROKER - Techniques to manage mobile devices are disclosed. In various embodiments, a request to perform a management action with respect to a mobile device is received from a mobile device management (MDM) authority. A scope of authority of the MDM authority with respect to the mobile device is determined. The management action is caused to be performed with respect to the mobile device based at least in part on the determined scope of authority of the MDM authority with respect to the mobile device. | 2015-10-01 |
20150278489 | CONSTELLATION BASED DEVICE BINDING - A method of binding a software to a device is disclosed. Accordingly, during a setup of the software in the device, a unique identifier is derived from contents stored in the device and the derived unique identifier is encrypted. The derived unique identifier is then stored in a configuration of the software. During a next invocation of the software in the device, a new unique identifier is derived from the contents stored in the device. The newly derived unique identifier is then matched with the stored unique identifier. The execution of the software is terminated if the matching fails. | 2015-10-01 |
