International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382128

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for determining the efficacy of neuropsychiatric therapy is provided. A neuroimage mapping manager automatically compares a first set of regions of interest in a first set of scans taken at a first time to a second set of regions of interest in a second set of scans generated at a second time and identifies a set of changes in the regions of interest occurring over time. The neuroimage mapping manager searches a set of electronic medical literature sources for medical literature relevant to the set of changes in the regions of interest and identifies portions of the relevant medical literature associated with the set of changes in the regions of interest. The neuroimage mapping manager generates results comprising the set of changes in the regions of interest and a set of links to the portions of the relevant medical literature.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382128, 382132, 382130

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for analyzing neurological images. A set of brain scans for a patient is compared to a set of baseline control scans to automatically identify regions of interest in the set of patient scans. A region of interest is an area in a scan that shows an indication of a potential abnormality. A set of electronic medical literature sources is searched for medical literature relevant to the regions of interest in the set of patient scans. The relevant medical literature is correlated to the medical literature describing the regions of interest in the set of patient scans to the regions of interest in the set of patient scans. A result is generated. The result comprises the regions of interest and a set of links to the correlated portions of the relevant medical literature are outputted.

Assignee:

Rite-Solutions, Inc. - Pawcatuck CT

International Classification:

A63F 13/00

US Classification:

463 42, 463 16, 463 17, 463 18, 463 19, 463 20, 463 25, 463 29, 463 40, 463 41, 463 43

Abstract:

A system, method, and article of manufacture are disclosed that comprise receiving, from one or more client terminals, two or more purchase requests, wherein each of the purchase requests identifies a wager for one or more multi-player games. A wager result is then determined for each wager at the time of purchase and stored in a database. Once all the wagers for an instance of a game are received, an outcome, such as a set of cards, is determined for each player and, if appropriate, the house (the host of the game). The outcome for each player is based on the previously determined wager result(s) and the type of game played. The outcome(s) are then stored with the wager(s) and wager result(s) in a transaction history file corresponding to each of the game's patrons (players) and in a game status file. A patron may then submit a request at a client terminal to reveal the results of the wager(s) and, optionally, the outcome of the game at either the gaming facility where the wagers were placed or at an off-site location.

US Classification:

600300, 382128, 382131

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating neuropsychiatric diagnoses. Quantitative information describing diagnostic characteristics associated with a patient is generated based on an analysis of a set of patient scans. The quantitative information comprises a set of indictors associated with regions of interest in the set of scans for the patient. The set of indicators of potential neuropsychiatric conditions is compared with a set of diagnostic signatures. A diagnostic signature comprises a set of indicators of a known neuropsychiatric condition. Matching signatures are identified. A matching signature is a diagnostic signature that corresponds to at least one indicator in the set of indicators to form a set of signatures. A diagnosis associated with each signature in the set of signatures is identified to form a set of potential diagnoses. The set of potential diagnoses is presented with links to relevant portion of the medical literature.

US Classification:

705 2, 705 3

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for modifying neuropsychiatric treatment plans based on efficacy of treatment. A current treatment plan comprising a first set of therapies to treat a set of neuropsychiatric conditions and portions of the medical literature associated with the set of neuropsychiatric conditions is retrieved. A set of brain scans of the patient is analyzed to determine a set of changes over time associated with the set of neuropsychiatric conditions. The portions of the medical literature and the set of changes are analyzed to determine a patient rate of response to the treatment plan. If the patient rate of response falls below a threshold expected rate, a set of alternative treatments for the patient is identified. A modified treatment plan is generated using the set of alternative treatments.
