Filed:

May 21, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/988101

Inventors:

Philip J. Marshall - Newton MA

Assignee:

Cellco Partnership - Bedminster NJ

International Classification:

H04B 1700

US Classification:

455 6711, 455446, 4554221, 455423, 455424

Abstract:

A system and method that provides radio field strength modeling useful for determining cellular telephone site coverage. The system and method automate sampling procedures, collecting data at various monitoring points within a radio propagation coverage area. The collected data is then interpolated and spurious samples are eliminated. The resultant radio field strength data and respective location data is then analyzed using either a modified Newton second order gradient or a pseudo-exhaustive search method to modeling the field strength for convex and non-convex models, respectively. An iterative approach is used to facilitate the use of model constraints and to mitigate calibration errors attributable to highly correlated variables. For pseudo-exhaustive searches, noise is introduced into the data analysis routines to avoid convergence on local minimum which would otherwise inhibit convergence towards global solutions.

US Classification:

705 2, 705 3, 707802

Abstract:

A method for processing a personal health record (PHR) which includes a plurality of events each having a time stamp. The method includes creating a plurality of event-concept pairs by mapping each of the plurality of events in the PHR to a corresponding health concept, assigning to each of the plurality of event-concept pairs the time stamp of the event corresponding to the event-concept pair, identifying associations among the plurality of event-concept pairs, identifying an associative subset of event-concept pairs among the plurality of event-concept pairs, and linking a plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs to form a thread, in which the thread presents a relationship among the plurality of members of the associative subset of event-concept pairs.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 2, 705 3

Abstract:

Personalization of access to health-related information on a computer network is provided based upon a health history of a user. In one implementation, personal health-related information about the user is obtaining from the user operating a client computer. The health-related information includes one or more health-related terms that each corresponds to a health-related concept. The health related terms provided by the user are correlated with a health terminology thesaurus that is stored on a computer-readable medium, such as at a server remote from the user client. Each of the health-related terms is associated with a single concept unique identifier that uniquely identifies a corresponding health-related concept. Health-related works or content is made accessible over the computer network by correlating the concept unique identifiers for the user's health information with corresponding concept unique identifiers that are associated with the health-related content.

Inventors:

Philip Marshall - Portland OR, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

The invention features a computer-implemented method that stores a patient profile in electronic storage; the patient profile includes personal and medical information about the patient. The method provides access to a set of different health-related information tools. Each tool is a corresponding computer program which when executed uses information from the patient profile to generate corresponding health-related information about the patient and stores additional information about the patient in the patient profile. The additional information stored by each of the tools includes health-related information generated by that tool. The method also provides an interface enabling the patient to execute any selectable one of the health-related information tools among the set of different health-related information tools. The additional information stored in the patient profile by a first health-related information tool of the set is used by a second health-related information tool of the set during execution to generate its output.
