CONSTRUCTING AND APPLYING COMPUTER-BASED ANALYTIC METHODS REPRESENTING MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021325 titled 'CONSTRUCTING AND APPLYING COMPUTER-BASED ANALYTIC METHODS REPRESENTING MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a facility that allows users to define an analytical method. The facility collects user input that includes the description of the method, questions related to the method, possible answers for each question, and routing targets associated with combinations of answers. The facility stores this information as an internal representation of the method.
- The facility allows users to define an analytical method.
- Users provide input that describes the method, including questions and possible answers.
- Routing targets are specified for combinations of answers.
- The facility stores the method's internal representation.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be applied in various fields that require the development and implementation of analytical methods, such as data analysis, research, and decision-making processes.
- It can be used in scientific research to define and automate analytical procedures.
- Companies can utilize this technology to streamline their data analysis processes and improve decision-making.
Problems Solved:
- This technology solves the problem of manually defining and implementing analytical methods, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
- It provides a standardized approach to defining and executing analytical procedures, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
- The facility allows for the efficient management and organization of analytical methods, making them easily accessible and reusable.
Benefits:
- Users can easily define and modify analytical methods according to their specific needs.
- The facility enables automation of analytical procedures, saving time and reducing human error.
- It promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing by providing a centralized platform for defining and storing analytical methods.
- The internal representation of the method allows for efficient retrieval and reuse of previously defined methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
a facility for defining an analytical method is described. the facility solicits and receives first user input that describes the analytic method. the facility solicits and user input that (1) specifies at least one question that is part of the analytic method; (2) for each question, specifies a possible answer to the question; and (3) for each of at least some combinations of one or more of the possible answers, specifies a routing target associated with the combination. the facility persistently stores an analytic method internal representation of the analytic method encoding this user input.
