Abstract

Location-aware medical image assignment is provided. In various embodiments, geolocation data of the user is received from a mobile device borne by the user. The user'"'"'s availability to work based on the geolocation data or an indication by the user. A user profile of the user is read. One or more rules is applied to the user profile and the geolocation data to assign one or more medical imaging studies from a data store for review by the user.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving geolocation data of the user from a mobile device borne by the user;

determining the user'"'"'s availability to work based on the geolocation data or an indication by the user;

reading a user profile of the user;

applying one or more rules to the user profile and the geolocation data to assign one or more medical imaging studies from a data store for review by the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating the one or more rules based on user activity.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the user activity comprises selection of a medical imaging study, deselection of a medical imaging study, or viewing of a medical imaging study.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein generating the one or more rules comprises applying a neural network to the user activity.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication by the user comprises a manual interaction with an application.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the manual interaction comprises a login.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving from the user a selection from among the one or more medical imaging studies;

updating the one or more rules based on the selection.

8. The method of claim 2, wherein said updating comprises applying a neural network.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more rules are configurable.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the user profile includes a specialty.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the geolocation data of the user is determined from a GPS receiver of the mobile device.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing the one or more medical imaging studies to a reader for review of the user.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein said assigning is based on a time of assignment.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein said assigning is based on metadata of the one or more medical imaging studies.

15. A system comprising:

a data store;

a computing node comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising;

receiving geolocation data of the user from a mobile device borne by the user;

determining the user'"'"'s availability to work based on the geolocation data or an indication by the user;

reading a user profile of the user;

applying one or more rules to the user profile and the geolocation data to assign one or more medical imaging studies from the data store for review by the user.

16. The system of claim 15, the method further comprising:

generating the one or more rules based on user activity.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the user activity comprises selection of a medical imaging study, deselection of a medical imaging study, or viewing of a medical imaging study.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein generating the one or more rules comprises applying a neural network to the user activity.

19. A computer program product for location-aware medical image assignment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving geolocation data of the user from a mobile device borne by the user;

determining the user'"'"'s availability to work based on the geolocation data or an indication by the user;

reading a user profile of the user;

applying one or more rules to the user profile and the geolocation data to assign one or more medical imaging studies from a data store for review by the user.

20. The computer program product of claim 19, the method further comprising:

generating the one or more rules based on user activity.
