Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed that provide an approach to understand, analyze and generate useful output of patient-provider interactions. Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems, methods and apparatus for creating understanding, and generating summaries and action item from an interaction between a patient, a provider and optionally a user.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a computer memory storage module configured to store executable computer programming code; and

a computer processor module operatively coupled to the computer memory storage module, wherein the computer processor module is configured to execute the computer programming code to perform the following operations;

detecting an interaction between at least one patient and at least one provider and optionally at least one user;

receiving an input data stream from the interaction;

extracting the received input data stream to generate a raw information;

interpreting the raw information, wherein the interpretation comprises;

converting the raw information using a conversion module to produce a processed information, and

analyzing the processed information using an artificial intelligence module; and

generating an output information for the interaction based upon the interpretation of the raw information comprising a summary of the interaction, and follow-up actions for the patient and/or provider.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein analyzing the processed information further comprises:

understanding the content of the processed information; and

optionally enriching the processed information with additional information from a database.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising sharing the output information with at least one of the patient, the provider, and/or the user.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising updating a patient record in an electronic health records system based upon the interpreted information or the output information.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the output information is further modified by the provider and/or optionally the user.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the detection of the interaction is automatic or manually initiated by one of the provider, patient, or optionally user.

7. An apparatus comprising a non-transitory, tangible machine-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program contains machine-readable instructions that when executed electronically by one or more computer processors, perform:

detecting an interaction between at least one patient and at least one provider and optionally at least one user;

receiving an input data stream from the interaction;

extracting the received input data stream to generate a raw information;

interpreting the raw information, wherein the interpretation comprises;

converting the raw information using a conversion module to produce a processed information, and

analyzing the processed information using an artificial intelligence module; and

generating an output information for the interaction based upon the interpretation of the raw information comprising a summary of the interaction, and follow-up actions for the patient and/or provider.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein analyzing the processed information further comprises:

understanding the content of the processed information; and

optionally enriching the processed information with additional information from a database.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising sharing the output information with at least one of the patient, the provider, and/or the user.

10. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising updating a patient record in an electronic health records system based upon the interpreted information or the output information.

11. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the output information is further modified by the provider and/or optionally the user.

12. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the detection of the interaction is automatic or manually initiated by one of the provider, patient, or optionally user.

13. A method comprising:

(a) detecting an interaction between at least one patient and at least one provider and optionally at least one user;

(b) receiving an input data stream from the interaction;

(c) extracting the received input data stream to generate a raw information;

(d) interpreting the raw information, wherein the interpretation comprises;

converting the raw information using a conversion module to produce a processed information, and

analyzing the processed information using an artificial intelligence module;

(e) generating an output information for the interaction based upon the interpretation of the raw information comprising a summary of the interaction, and follow-up actions for the patient and/or provider; and

(f) providing a computing device, the computing device performing steps “

a”

through “

e”

.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein analyzing the processed information further comprises:

understanding the content of the processed information; and

optionally enriching the processed information with additional information from a database.

15. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of sharing the output information with at least the patient, the provider, and/or the user.

16. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of updating a patient record in an electronic health records system based upon the interpreted information or the output information.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the output information is further modified by the provider and/or optionally the user.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the detection of the interaction is automatic or manually initiated by one of the provider, patient, or optionally user.
